The 24th of January is DENNY, Jr.’s Birthday”

This could be a couple of years later… maybe  1947 or 1948? Again on a “Visiting Sunday” – – and this is the front stairs to the entrance of the “German St.Vincent Orphanage” – – and also before the change  – – as  you will see in a couple of years later.

Sitting in front is DENNY, Jr., and his BIRTHDAY is coming up… the 24th of January – -next sitting is our MOTHER… and the topper to the FUN and GAMES is our youngest brother, TOMMY – – letting us know,  he will entertain us with comedy as he bounces around on top for us. Of course that is “ME” standing on the steps – – the eldest has to act like she knows how to keep out of trouble.

Now that I look at this PHOTO… Tommy doing his “Comedy ACT” on the highest part of the steps… must have been a premonition of his “FUTURE” – -he did enlisted in the ARMY Paratroopers and was stationed in GERMANY.  Do we have ways of knowing – – maybe  a direction in LIFE that we may take…later?

It sure is difficult to smile for a PHOTO… when the “SUN” is so strong and right into your eyes! “DADDY’s” head shadow is in the PHOTO – – so you know this is a direct hit on the eyes!

“Looks like “TOMMY” is using the “PEACE” sign… long before it became popular with  “President Nixon” using it on his flights  all  around AMERICA!  TOMMY would have been a terrific “COMIC” on stage!

Looking at this PHOTO… it just  came … into my thoughts… we are getting closer to the road in front of the ORPHANAGE – –  “Did we even think about our leaving the ORPHANAGE – – and just go home…  with our parents???”  “Would that have been a “HOT” story back in the “1940’s”” – – – “PARENTS take their children home… when… pretending  that  they  are taking PHOTOS  of their children… on the grounds of the ORPHANAGE?” 

Sometimes… I can really dream up – – different ways of having lived my LIFE – –  so much good material to work with! – – “WHAT do  “you”  the  “READER” think…   about that question?”
