“TIME sure does FLY… WHEN having FUN”
There is something about “TIME” and now that I think of it – – the old saying “TIME and TIDE wait for NO MAN” – – come to think of that saying and I did get a PRIZE for a story that I wrote about that – – so long ago – – only wish NOW that I think back – – I saved more stuff… than I did! – – But… “when ONE moves from here to there – – you do travel lighter – – he WHO carries a lighter load!”
This first PHOTO is of “DENNY on the right side and TOMMY of the left” – – and this is one of the PICNIC Sundays’ at “German St. Vincent Orphanage” I must be taking this PHOTO as I see my “DAD” standing in the background on the left.
There is some damage to this PHOTO on the side – – some thing happened or this must be the last picture on this roll of film??
How’s this for very cooperate “brothers” – TOMMY has my “GRADUATION” dress on – – I took the sleeves out – – and NOW I am going to “dye it” a pastel color – – so I can wear it – – without people wondering where is she going in a “WHITE” dress? So for added FUN Tommy found a pair of my shoes to wear and DENNY has the hat on… that I wanted Tommy to wear – – but – – with DENNY wearing the “HAT” on the slant – – this is a real “WOW” PHOTO – – where we can have some silly FUN – -if we do not die laughing!
More silly time in the backyard – – as we are all “three” HOME with MOM – – no longer at the Orphanage. I was attending Rosati Kain High School – – and Denny and Tommy going to De Andres High School. But then… De Andres High School decided to start the next year “Co-Ed” – – meaning that we could all three walk to School together – – which would be nice… but – – I was getting some kind of scholarship and they would not transfer me – – so… my MOTHER decided that she would transfer me to “Beaumont High School” which was also in walking distance. Nothing like walking through “Fair Grounds Park” – – with a lot of other girls living in our same area – – and getting more exercise – – which was just fine with me!
So… to finish off with wishing “DENNY” just one more “HAPPY BIRTHDAY’ for this week – – since in a few days – – it will be my “DAD’s” BIRTHDAY” and then in another week or so – – “TOMMY’s BIRTHDAY” – – and a few days following will be “KAREN and KATHLEEN McClarren’s BIRTHDAY” – – making them all born under the sign of “Aquarius” – – so I am guessing that is why they all are so much smarter then ME!
The above PHOTO is of “DENNY on the left and TOMMY on the right” – – as “TOMMY” would fly down to FLORIDA just to visit with Denny – – as he was NOW in a Nursing Home – – sometimes in LIFE – – our bodies just want to take it easy – – as they start to wear out.
So… WHEN you stop to think about it – – Is there any better place to be – – when all is said and done – – than here on EARTH – – to partake of the BLESSINGS that our Almighty YAHWEH will bless us with – – when our NEW address reads “CLOUD NINE” – – We are NOW where our TREASURE is! “Forever!” D.V.
