“Some Old Time Memories are Still Terrific”

Sep 18th “Some Old Time Memories are Still Terrific”

“Mary Ellen models “Poodle Skirt”Do you remember the correct year – 1946 or 1947 – when “Poodle skirts” first became “the skirt” for your little girl?

“All three pose on slide!”Mary Ellen with the “Poodle Skirt” and with brothers Denny and Tommy sitting on slide, which is on “girls-side” of playground.

“First-Communion Day”“1946” Mary Ellen, Denny and Tommy in our First-Communion outfits, and in front of the Lovely Replica of Our Blessed Mother and within the Shadow of the Home!

“Beautiful Little Angels!”Three “Angels” – Denny Jr., Tommy and Mary Ellen. It is amazing that some of these pictures survived since 1946, especially when you think of the camera used and the poor care taken with all the moves we made!

These Photos went to Fort Lauderdale, Florida and then back to Saint Louis, Missouri and several places in the County – so with packing and not really knowing way back then – that there would come a day – when the “Old” stuff is just what, the world needs to see today!

Thanks to our Almighty, for taking good care of all the memories that go with these PHOTOS – and that a time and place would be available to post these treasures – for all of the generations to follow – they will have most of their questions answered, by just checking out “Grandma’s Stories” – and if they like – just adding on, something that I may have forgotten!
