“DADDY and DAUGHTER” | Grandma’s Stories

Jun 18th “DADDY and DAUGHTER”

This first PHOTO… of DADDY and DAUGHTER (me) is when I was eight months. Since I do not have the photo handy – – can not write the whole list of stuff – – that my MOTHER wrote on the back side – – as to what I could do and say… which is a good thing for parents to do – – because… without a written record… who would remember everything that a first child – – is learning – – and then… is also able to do.

Should I run across the “PHOTO” above – – I will add those wonderful things – – that my MOTHER – – did take the time to make note of – – especially for me – – as I am one of those “types” – – with inquiring minds – – sometimes people get sick of my questions – – but how then does one learn – – if they can not ask more than enough “QUESTIONS” – – so as to be well informed – –
“What television series is that – – where the investigator always comes back – – just after taking a few steps to leave… and he says. .. “I just have …ONE MORE QUESTION?” ********** **********
This is JUNE 26th, 2017 – – and I have the answer… to pass on – – to one and all – – so and since ‘no one’ sent to me an answer – – will have to save this “PRIZE”… for another time – – – so… the “STAR of Colombo” is the man in the very old ‘Rain Coat” – -“PETER Fault” – – himself” – -“Good Luck… till next time!”
“Every one has my “number” – – for doing that exact thing – – when they think – – that I have turn to leave – – and with a quick step back… “Just one more thing,

“Do I look like – – I am pushing ‘two’ – – in the above photo? – – WELL… that is DADDY holding “ME” – – and we are in the back yard of my “AUNT Irene RILEY” — on ASHLAND Avenue, in Saint Louis – – – we would visit Aunt Irene – – as it was only a quick run through the FAIRGROUNDS PARK – – – – short drive…

This was a “BIG DAY” for me. It is JUNE 8th, 1952 – – and I have graduated from the eighth grade – – “WOW”

That is DADDY, DENNY, SR. standing on my right side – – and on the left of me … is my younger brother DENNY, Jr., – – who is in the seventh grade – – and next year – – he will be graduating from the eighth grade. Isn’t it wonderful… to have a child of yours – – graduating each year – – after so many years of the same thing – – you finally know the general routine and can almost … do it in your sleep.

After living a fairly… long time – – it is the the good memories that you have – – and if you also have old photographs to jog the old marbles floating around in the old brain – – well… “It is a wonderful WORLD… after all is said and done!”

“Thanks to the ALMIGHTY – – for all the wondrous things – – that ‘YOU’ have provided me with – – I am grateful and thankful – – each and every day – – LIFE is every thing and more – – some times… we just forget to give THANKS!” DV
