Grandma’s Stories

Sep 12th “ME at 8:20 A.M. on MONDAY – Ready for Work”

When… “You”  enter this world at  8:30 A.M. and on a MONDAY  morning… You  are ready…  for the WORK PLACE – – You will always know “how” to be on time – – as… that is what  most employers LOVE – – their workers to be wide eyed   with  lots of  “get up and go” – – as the “work”  needs to be done NOW!

All the places where I worked – – were well pleased to have me working for them  – – as I was  one of those types that  like order and  for me  – – to be  put here on earth at the precise time – – where most people start their day’s work – – well… everything worked out just A-OKAY for me. – Does this almost  faded  out  PHOTO of me, as a new born baby  – – give the   impression  – – that the bright  CAMERA Flashlight  kind of woke me up?

How’s this PHOTO  of    “ME” sitting on these steps where we were living? The legs  at the top of these steps… belong to my MOTHER. In those days – – most  Mothers’ to be soon – – did not like  to be PHOTOGRAPH – – and this was the case here. I am a couple of months older  – that is just past the one year mark – – as my younger brother, DENNY Jr., will be born in JANUARY.

As the first child in our FAMILY – I was on the go – – go here to see this relative and visit these FRIENDS – and whenever my PARENTS  had to be some where – – well I did get to go – – and the way that –  –  I am  sitting on these steps – – just looks like I am ready to “GO”  – – and right NOW!   Sure am glad that I did receive all the good care as a baby – – as that is what it takes… to keep you “going” … when you get  – to be  “gray and old!”

This  is another of my favorite PHOTOS – when I was small – – that…  old rocking chair was the best place to be – – especially when someone was taking care of  me –  – that was one thing that I really did like – and that was to rock and rock. When my younger brother, DENNY Jr., got to be old enough – – then this chair was DENNY’s as you will see him in this very same chair – – guess that I must have really broke it in – just right. -Each time that my MOTHER had to go to the hospital  – – for another baby – – they   (my parents) had to bribe me with something – –   guess that  – – I did not like to be left with other people – – –  will have to tell you those stories again, later.

One more FAVORITE PHOTO – – this is when DENNY Jr., was a brand new baby – – and I was so on the job – – checking out everything –  – I had dolls and they did not talk and they did not need my MOTHER to take care of – – but NOW this is a NEW BABY in our house and – this is all NEW stuff to me – – FRIENDS and RELATIVES to see – and make over the new baby – and like this PHOTO – – well that was something I knew about – – and I did like to be getting all this extra attention –  – –  and you can see – I am paying attention – – just making sure that everything is done right – – and all from my “ROCKING CHAIR” – – which someday soon will belong to DENNY Jr.,  – as he will enjoy as much as I do!
