“JOY and PEACE…to ALL…”

img071

At this  TIME  of the YEAR…small children just  find everything… so beautiful and wonderful…the big mystery of  the  TIME as it approaches  the day of CHRISTMAS…is not really understandable to them…since each child is coming from a different way of LIFE – – their FAMILY and their beliefs being so different and so confusing – – – HOW and WHERE and WHEN…will they learn the TRUTH…from the Fairy Tale?

If… it is at all possible…at this  time of the year…while so  many  are thinking about   the birth of the Messiah Yahshua…to check out their true feelings…are they getting into a commercial over load…that they will  find leading them down the wrong road…after all the waste  in time and money. The reason for this statement…as I read the BIBLE…I find that we are to remember HIS death on the CROSS…for that was HIS  mission and purpose…and no where at all ….do I find anything …asking us to remember HIS birth???

PEACE with JOY is the best wish for everyone at this time of the year!

“Wishing…YOU… MERRY CHRISTMAS”

img070

This little…Sweetie Pie…of the Cardinal Bird Family…ask me to send  this special arrangement of  him sitting in this   beautiful  HOLLY Shrub with all these cherry “RED”  berries…his favorite color…and the  CHRISTMAS GREEN leaves….just showing him off…looking like a million…while …”We Wish You…ALL…a  MERRY CHRISTMAS!”

If you need a last minute gift…If you enlarge this PHOTO…and make a copy for yourself…you will have a beautiful photo…suitable  for putting into  a nice frame…that large size being about 18 inches by 12 inches. A second thought…just copy the above size…giving you a smaller version of this beautiful CHRISTMAS scene and this smaller    size could be put on the recipient’s desk at work???

Someone receding this PHOTO in a desk type frame…would take time every day that they were looking at this photo  – – and would give the Almighty Yahweh a special THANKS for their FRIEND…who thought enough to send them the very BEST GIFT… that they had ever received!

What do you think? The more you look at this little SWEETIE PIE… just sitting there for you to always remember that our CREATOR made all of  us… so BEAUTIFUL…and we all have everything that HE wants for us to have…and I think… that HE wants us to appreciate HIS gifts to us…they have the best price…they are FREE!

“Hope that you do not forget the REASON for this celebration… so with that in mind…MERRY CHRISTMAS!”

“LOOK!” “WHAT I FOUND!”

img069

If you can remember what  “MEN” worn… when you see “Knickerbockers” …you know that  this PHOTO…is a real TREASURE…just for age  of PHOTO…but most importantly the people on the PHOTO…never looked so good…even with the old Knickerbockers???

In the photo …that is my  younger… brother, DENNY and  MELBA MICHAUD… and standing behind them is the bike… that my FATHER finally brought out to the GERMAN  Saint Vincent ORPHANAGE… and of course …everyone wanted to ride it.

Melba was in the same grade as I was and we were good friends and also at least a year older  than my brother DENNY. As I  am thinking back to the time that this photo was taken, by me – – Melba and her sisters  and a brother …came to live at the Orphanage some years after  my brothers and I … came to the  Orphanage… and then… Melba and her sisters and brother left maybe a year or two before I graduated from the eighth grade and then left.

When I look through… some of these old photos… some of the girls I knew back then…I often think of as… FAMILY…and at this time of the year …you get to wondering HOW they are …and WHAT they are doing…hopefully… they are all  still alive and all doing well???  So… to all of  my “Orphan Family”  “Merry Christmas” – – ——HAPPY HOLIDAYS  and  wishing you all the best of everything in this coming NEW YEAR 2016!       DV

“Tommy…HOME…for the HOLIDAYS…”

img068

“When you ring the DOOR BELL…after MIDNIGHT…and you want .. for  ME… to  open the “DOOR” – – I will wring your NECK… just check  with TOM – – see if I did a good job of ringing his NECK??

The above old PHOTO …sure does look like I am doing the best job of ringing TOM’s NECK… even looks like a drop or two of blood…even the eyes look… as if he is not receiving  enough blood to the BRAIN.

Sure looks as if …I am enjoying this painful situation…nothing like having lots of FUN…when your brothers receive their “LEAVE” so they can come HOME for the HOLIDAYS!

It is surprising that “HOLLYWOOD”  did not make a big STAR out of TOM…when he was in the “BUILDING”…since ELVIS… left the BUILDING …as TOM would keep your attention…for HOURS…and you would be dying…since you were laughing  so hard…and in stitches with the tears of laughter just running down your cheeks! He just knew so many funny things to say about so much…never needed for someone to write any scripts for him…some people just have a natural tendency to seeing to it…that everyone is having a good time    a time that you won’t soon forget…and you will be back for  more FUN and ENJOYMENT…and everyone knows…LAUGHTER is.. GOOD  MEDICINE!

“Sure do hope that all of our young men and women…that serve  in AMERICA’s ARMED FORCES…have  “LEAVE”  to come HOME for the HOLIDAYS!”

“Denny …HOME for the HOLIDAYS…”

img067

Just found this old PHOTO…of Denny and ME…only wish that it was not damaged…but when one travels to Florida and back again… some tines “good care” is  not  thought of…for  the wonderful  “PHOTOS” that keep us looking…so … good…forever!

Those were the days…when I just LOVED  “HATS”… and nothing better…than to try  on… my younger brother, Denny’s ARMY dress hat. The Government sure  can make you feel PROUD…when you have the right hat  on!

On the table in front of us… is one of the KREY PACKING Company’s… finest HAM’s…best eating…makes a terrific sandwich! For the HOLIDAYS…the one thing that we all did like to have available for company…would  be a good HOLIDAY  HAM…and all the sides…so easy to dish up…and just sit back and have good times  remembering   and …catching up…on who did what…and where???

“HAPPY HOLIDAYS!”
