“BIRTHDAY for Aunt Irene Brady Riley – coming soon”

Jul 13th “BIRTHDAY for Aunt Irene Brady Riley – coming soon”

Have to find PHOTOS of “Aunt Irene BRADY RILEY” for a remembrance of her “BIRTHDAY” – – as she always remembered… to send cards to everyone in the FAMILY – – even to each and every “NEW ADDITION” as they came along. It does make one feel good to receive a “BIRTHDAY Greeting CARD” – – and since “Aunt Irene” is no longer here on EARTH – – perhaps this message… on the computer can transcend into the “realm” of those places – – for each of us – – into the everlasting Eternity – that which… we all look forward to going and with great expectations.

“Marie Brady and big sister, Irene”

“How do you like this PHOTO – – young girls – MARIE BRADY is thirteen years old and standing on the right – – and she looks like a real “BAKER” of good desserts in her “BAKER’s HAT” – – makes young “Marie” look real cute.” The year for this

photo is 1913 – – and standing on the left side of this photo – – is MARIE”s older sister, IRENE.

In the “BRADY FAMILY” – – there was a relative that enjoyed betting on the horses – – I can not remember if he was still in IRELAND or not – but just before “IRENE” was to be born – – this relative made a terrific WIN at the RACE-TRACK – – and so … since he was so “LUCKY” – – Mr. and Mrs. Brady decided to name the new baby girl – – that “LUCKY WINNING HORSE NAME” – – you guessed it – – it was IRENE!

So… in case anyone was wondering why our “AUNT IRENE RILEY” was so “LUCKY” – – now you know, too!

Also… in this photo the “LADY” in the middle – – is a cousin and this is where Marie and Irene are for the weekend – – guess they are helping her and the children could be her’s and or even some other relative visiting – – these details I do not know?

This PHOTO is of “IRENE BRADY-RILEY” – – now married to “William B. RILEY” – – and “IRENE” is standing on the left. In the center is an IRISH cousin – – even to-day – – I would recognize her voice – – as she had a very fresh and strong “IRISH BROGUE” – and … I did like listening to the way she would talk with us kids…as we did visit at their home quite often … when I was very young.

On the right side on this photo – – is “MARIE BRADY” – – and not as yet married – – as she was designated to be the care taker of the parents when the time would come – something different in this family – – as even Bishop Burns from the HOLY NAME CHURCH came to the “BRADY HOME” – to persuade the family to let her become a NUN in the Catholic Church.

Years much later…my “Aunt IRENE” would tell me … that I was to go into the Convent – – to be a NUN – – since my MOTHER was not allowed to go to the CONVENT – -but – – as circumstances were – – I felt – that it was my duty to stay with my MOTHER and help her – – I just did not have a strong feeling to be a NUN.

In LIFE… there is a “PLAN” for each of us – – the only thing is – – we just do not know exactly what the “PLAN” is – – and with our free choice to do things in LIFE – – there is the possibility – that we could take the wrong road.

Tomorrow… we will find photos – that show what is going on in the “BRADY FAMILY – “FOLK TALE or SAGA” – – every FAMILY has stories – – that are forgotten – – just because no one took the time to write anything down – and or did not care much about their FAMILY – – but – – I like my FAMILY – – and I think everyone should have some records of their own basic roots – – where they came from – -where were they – – what did they do – – and what about the next generation – – who will know – if at least someone – – does not take the TIME to record some events with photos???
