“One more day to wait!” | Grandma’s Stories

Jan 23rd “One more day to wait!”

“Only one (1) more day to wait – for everybody to sing “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” to Denny!” This is our backyard – right at the area where we did most of our playing – Denny is in his favorite chair – as there are several pictures with Denny sitting in this chair. Denny could be maybe two and a half – – – it is hard to tell if he is near his third birthday – the picture just is not as clear – as I would like – but – then – who am I to say too much – as I was only one year older than Denny.

Right behind Denny is our “sand-box” and we had all kinds of buckets and shovels to move piles of sand from this corner to that corner. There was a little boy that lived across the street – who would come over to play with us. The only thing that I remember about this boy is that he hit me in the front of the head with his shovel – and I still have a scare – as a reminder.

Also, you can see part of our “swing-set” that – is where we so often had our pictures taken – guess that is because we had our Easter Baskets – and that was a nice place – for us to swing “easy” and eat our Easter candy. That was just the right size “swing-set” for little “KIDS” like us – easy to get in and sit down – not too high up and off the ground – just in case we were the type to fall off and hit the ground – – – and it did not swing too fast for us, just in case we could not take the motion of moving and eating – all at the same time.

“Looks like Denny is ready for his “Birthday” to begin! “Happy Birthday Denny!” “and many more – and more…”
