“Look Up To See ME Fly By”
Mid mornings … when the skies look like, what you are looking at … in this PHOTO below… just take a good look at these skies… so that when you see them in the future … you will let your eyes start searching those skies above … and you will open your ears, to hear from me… always that one and only PILOT… that said … he will be flying back to EARTH… just to see and watch over his favorite people!
Just to be able to FLY on EARTH … for all of those years… that I have been a PILOT and always did enjoy flying with all of my family… as they took to flying just like I did, at an early age… when you feel just like a young “bird” that knows, that it is just so wonderful to fly … as we were told so many times, and also we all know that flying will get you to your destination so much faster, than to have to drive in such slow and heavy traffic day after day… everywhere and everyday and getting no where fast!
To be able to FLY… when and whenever I want to too… is just so much more FUN for me NOW!
I remember back to those early High School days, when some of my class mates were just a little on the “scaredy-cat” side of the fence… when I told them… that they could go flying with me … and to… just to let me know when… the date and hours that they had in mind to go flying… as I did have to pre-arrange those dates and times… as those small planes, only have so much room.
If you remember back to when and where you were flying with me… all those years … long gone and almost forgotten… check in with my MOM… as she most probably can find some of our old PHOTOS, and then… she can post those good old memories of those great flying days… that we remember enjoying and having so much FUN… and as we all had flying together!
To ail of my Flying Buddies… that do, still get up nice and early… especially this week …I am guessing,, that you did hear us flying around, so very nice and high above all of you… but to attract attention and so that so many would take a small pittance of their time to step outside their homes, and take a look high up and view the skies above… looking for all of that noise that they were hearing and was flying by… just to attract attention and let you all know… that I and my friends… would like to give you all a wake up call… just letting you all know… that we are also always thinking about you all … down there…too!
JUST ONE MORE IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO PASS ON… TO ALL OF MY FAMILY FRIENDS…
I do enjoy thinking about you as… you all are also thinking about me, each and everyday!
Your Blessings are being received by me… as all of my Blessings are being sent each day to each and everyone of you… that I LOVE!

“A Wonderful PCNIC To Be Remembered Forever”
“Grandson LEX, reading Grandpa’s Book, AEROS”
- When it comes to having a PICNIC… nothing like having some of your published books on hand… to hand out to ALL … those attending…to see what they like?
Nothing to do but to give to young Grandson LEX, a copy for his very own…
…. as he wanted what everyone else was receiving… a “Hot Off the Press” latest addition of the adventure of “AEROS” and… to be signed to him, from his Grandpa Al… himself!
and… So glad that some guests were watching and grab their cell phones and began to snap photos.
Just looking at this photo… it seems that our little LEX has found something of high interest… as his looks indicate… that he is very interested in what he has found in the book of “AEROS”… and, as I look at this photo … I see a very young child highly interested in reading and learning… he holds the book so well… that he can read and observe that which is of interest to him… and most importantly… his posture is so good… sitting up straight and book resting on tabletop securely… and with all of us so interested in what LEX is doing… Little LEX is not distracted… at all… by all of us!
and… Then, the loud sound of many automobiles on the street… suddenly attracted all of us, to leave the back yard and go to the front of the house… to see, what in the world was going on?
Seems that a parade of highly decorated vehicles… decided to parade in celebration of one of the neighbors… “65th” Birthday…
… since we can not celebrate with large get-to-gathers… due to “coronavirus” that is keeping all citizens homebound… so now… we see many cars having balloons flying all over… in seconds a few balloons left their hands and headed to the sky… so high above… seeing all of these balloons just flying away, Little Lex wanted one, too.
and… We all started going back to the picnic patio and little LEX went back to the arms of his favorite of all the guests… up and into the arms of his “Uncle Alan”… the one and only with nice strong arms to hold and rock little LEX… for long periods of time.
“Low and Behold” one of our guests evidently went over to where that big “Birthday Party” was going on… to see if… he could get a couple of Balloons for Little LEX.
“Coming through the backyard gate… everyone could see… two very nice and extra large gas-filled balloons… flying just so nice and high… this way and that… and they were handed to our Little LEX.”
This was just one of the very best things, that could have taken place… as this gift to LEX, made this to be… just the happiest part of the whole day… for little LEX.
Just to make sure that these balloons did not also fly into that high sky above… each Balloon had a very long ribbon… and on to that end … was added a weight… heavy enough that LEX could hold it… but if … he let go… the Balloon would stay right here on Earth… where ever LITTLE LEX set it.
Nothing like having a very nice afternoon with family… one that we will all remember and remember forever… and all of us, had so much fun and with good eats… with lots of very good things happening for all of us to remember … so that we will all get together soon again. D.V.

“We have a “KING” in the Family”
“Research and research until Photos were found”
When one first starts a new project… there is no real thought … as to how long this project will last… so…will I enjoy doing what I am starting… can I give at least one full hour and… or much more time if it is necessary to do an adequate job… will I always find the necessary materials to make this project interesting to others… and also to fully enjoy that which I have started?
“Preparation is the name of the game… as one does always… want to put their best foot forward… especially when… Photos of chidden are involved and requiring lots of good information… just so that the whole and correct… a most beautiful story is told!”
So referring back to the post… “We have a KING in the Family” …I did some research and did find those PHOTOS that I had … and finally able to now decide on those that I will add to our day in the “FENTON PARK” showing just exactly how our “Little Billy” looked as he gave the JUDGES a big smile and a wave of his right arm… as I had inspired him to do!
and… “This is our… little Billy with his Mother Mary… and he is raising his right hand and arm… as I did show him … so that… he would know what to do while standing in front of the “JUDGES” … giving to them… a big “WAVE” as he is talking to them, the “JUDGES” … and saying… “MY name is BILLY…” … and as you can see him… with a very big and HAPPY smile!
and… This is our “little BILLY”… when he was called up as today’s “WINNER”… to be crown the “KING” and reign for a year! As you can see… “Little Billy” is a very HAPPY child … and is still sharing smiles with everyone!
and… This is “Baby Alan” with his Mother…and “Alan” and younger brother to “BILLY” get to be in the PHOTTO taking for maybe a chance at being selected “KING” that day and… I am now guessing… maybe only six weeks… as his birthday was on “July 1st…” and was a very good baby… considering the crowd, and having to wait for your turn to be brought to… and presented to the JUDGES’ desk.
and… This is the baby that Won…I think because the Mother is holding the baby in a position…so as to see more of the baby… and the MOTHER is so full of smiles!
If you take a look at the people to the right of this photo… that LADY dress in a black shirt and white pants… so tall and good looking… I hate to say…that is ME!
and… Just another of the small children hoping to be selected for KING … but since they gave this photo to me…
I am sitting on that picnic table and holding little Billy… either he has already been up and did his thing or is still waiting…it was a long day for the children that were there… as you can see they did have a very good crowd of people.
This type of event taking place with children… does take hours… and all children do tend to get tired and on the cranky side… so, just be prepared for that … and have some of their favorite treats… and or something to keep the children happy… if you want them to WIN!

“Wishing Birthday Blessings for November Birthday Family”
November “Birthdays”
Just dawned on me… to wish a Very Happy Birthday, to all of those who have a Birthday this wonderful month, November!
When you get to be my age, you are allowed to forget half of what I thought I did know – and that which remains – I can not be too sure of any more?
What I have said – is that … I am sure your Birthdays are in November, but for those dates – I can no longer remember … just exactly what date goes with the four (4) Birthday Girls?
Sister Margaret Mary, you were my 7th and 8th grade teacher, and we did become very good friends over the many years… as we kept in touch over those… so very many good years, you even visited my home, and you did play the Lowery Console Organ in my Living room, with so many of the very best Irish music, almost thought… that I was in Heaven!
Judy McClarren, is my younger brother Denny’s wife and at that time in his his LIFE and for a good while… was also taking good care of Denny, which did require a whole lot of extra care time! I am also so glad… that you are also able to keep me in the loop … with photos and also his many care updates!
Rose McClarren, wife of my brother Tom, aka Mr. Wonderful, and… I also am always happy to see you both on “TV” and in the “Newspaper”! You are both doing a fine job with the flowers and garden arrangements… that you provide in your community! Also sure do hope that YOU, Rossie did receive many more than the Eighty Birthday Cards you were expecting for your “80th”Birthday… must have kept the Mailman very busy this last week!
Char Bay, another extra special Grandma! Our united families have brought forth the very best of “Best Grand-daughters – Alyssa and Jaime! Sure glad to see you and all of the family… when we have the many get-togethers during the year … for so very many great occasions, are always taking place in our wonderful family!
Almighty Yahweh has truly blessed me with these wonderful November – Birthday – People!
I am asking Our Creator, and Giver of all good gifts to those chosen – that is for those good and perfect…
to also Bless each and everyone – abundantly from His generous bounty.
“Thanks be to our Almighty Yahweh!”

“Ready or NOT…MORE SNOW Coming Today”
“More SNOW coming this week…Be Ready!”
“IT SNOWED a PILE of SNOW!”
When it “SNOWS” – what do you do???
Make sure the kids…and the BIG KIDS – bundle up in the warmest of warm wear – and just let them go.
When they… have had enough – they will soon be in – and asking for some “HOT CHOCOLATE” – and sit by the warm FIRE PLACE – and tell you… all about the FUN… that they were having, and also… that they were doing some fun and crazy things in their new SNOW-mobile .
They were doing … what you call … ‘DO-NUTS’ … and if you were inside, by that window looking out – you could also hear them “yelling to the highest of heavens” – that they were having so much FUN!
Well… with that most terrific SNOW fall last night… all the kids that could… were now unloading at SUNSET PARK.
Parents were pulling some small kids up the hill on their sled – and lots of other children were getting ready for a very fast … fun full sled ride down… and yelling… just as loud as young children can yell… all the way down.
Just letting the whole wide world know… that they are having the most FUN… that is possible, when the SNOW hits EARTH… in all of the “just right places”… and, just for our Kids’ sake!
I think that their yelling, “louder”… “than anyone else”… means that … they are just having so much more FUN… in fact… so much more FUN… than all of the rest, of their friends!
Well… it is NOW… afternoon – and those early birds – they all have… had their FUN – and NOW … with their parents – getting a warm ride home.
There may still be some SNOW and ICE out there – but you have more FUN early in the day – as we all know that wonderful saying… about that “early bird”… and if you are that early bird – YOU did get up… and YOU did it – and YOU are NOW being that early-bird… with that “tid bit” of all of the FUN… you have just had … YOU and all of those other early birds … are NOW on their phones… calling all of their good friends – the ones who missed out … on TODAY’s … SNOW DAY off from school – but were able to make it to the SUNSET PARK… for FUN in the SNOW and GAMES.
Sorry for all those, who missed a good … “FUN in the SNOW DAY” – You just have to learn to be an early BIRD in these months… when you never know for sure… just exactly when and where that wonderful “SNOW” will decide to come, and fall in just those right places…
So…for all those, that have a sled, and just LOVE to be out with all of their friends, will have so much FUN in this… SNOW…
Just when it likes to fall in your neighborhood… but then … one never knows – when another SNOW fall – may be just around the corner.
I do believe… that the Forecast for more… SNOW, and a whole lot of it, was posted … for our area, and to come in the middle of the coming week!
SEE you all … real soon – then!
