“Just ONE MORE DAY – – and then… DENNY’s BIRTHDAY”

                    “Guess – I have to wait??”

“I’m waiting and waiting – but for how long  – do I have to wait??” Seems that  – there is still a “Birthday Gift”  – on it’s  way and it has been to P.A.  – N.C. and Florida and in this picture  –  – I’m sitting here at my “Grandma’s  house in Ohio.

The message about a  “Birthday Gift”  for me on my BIRTHDAY – which  is the 24th – – so what happened??  I’m sure that they said that  – my gift – was coming via “FED-X”  — – but now that I think about it  –  “I’m wondering if maybe they said  “Pony-Express??”

As –  you can see  – this  photo is on the “older”  side –  and as old as this photo is  – – – way  back when I was sitting in this chair – I do believe that the “PONY EXPRESS” was not running  – guess that  –  the Indians shot all the Cowboys – those that where riding their horses in the  “Wild West”  – – – so that today –   there surely should be a much faster  –  shipping company running around with packages in their trucks  – and hopefully before I get too much older??? – “I just may receive something extra     special!”

“It’s the PITS – when you are a small child and have to wait – almost forever – just for a  “BIRTHDAY GIFT!”  – – “One thing for sure  – I am tired of sitting in this  chair – don’t they know that the bright   “SUN” is pouring  right  into  my eyes  – -and I have to squint – and now my picture is not going to be as nice as it could be – – –  only,  if I did not have to squint?”

“Just a second thought – – the longer I sit here — – my hair is getting more ‘red’   – – and the freckles are coming  to me in heaps and  with that … they are becoming  so big and red,   so…  instead of just calling me “JUNIOR!”   as I am as of NOW –   “Oh well… not for me to worry about what I am called…  I just know that my   new  “NICK-NAME”   will soon be  “RED”  –    – –   “But not everyone can be a “JUNIOR” – –  or even “RED”   can they?”
