I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up a huge batch of slides a while back. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. These were from Goodwill and eBay (sometimes via estate sales). There are many thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here for posterity.
This set continues a batch of slides that I bought on eBay a while back. I don't have as much to go on as to the ultimate origin of these compared to the previous batch I was working on. They came to me from eBay and most likely were picked up at an estate sale by the seller. Most of them seem to be taken in the 1960s and same individuals are included in many of the photos. It looks like there are some that were taken in Miami and some that were taken in New Jersey and perhaps elsewhere. I get the impression that Miami was a vacation spot for this family.
The first three photos were all processed in January 1967 and feature what is probably a Christmas or Christmas Eve dinner, presumably Christmas 1966. At least they were taken near Christmas based on the Christmas themed table cloth. Based on how formally everyone appears to be dressed they might have just come from church or be planning to go later. Or they could have just been dressed up for dinner.
The last photo was processed in June 1968. It features a celebration of some kind based on the champaigne but it isn't clear what is being celebrated.

The entire collection that has been scanned and uploaded so far can also be found here. This also includes higher resolution versions and versions with post processing.
