“This is the Playground – Girl’s Side”
If only we had the electrical equipment that the children in the world have TODAY – – boy ‘OH BOY’ – what pictures would I have for ‘Show and Tell’ – – but we did not have!
This is my younger brother, Denny – – and he is on my bike – – and is there a story – – for me to tell about that bike???
There are the swings that we would swing on – – it is the ‘PITS’ – – that only I have a small and old box camera – – that did belong to my DAD – – and taking ‘PICTURES’ – – well … it was just playing a game – – maybe and may be not – – some of these pictures will turn out okay???
You see what I mean??? Someone forgot to advance the film – – and sometimes – – that same someone – – took two pictures and did so on only advancing the film half a turn — – and so we can only guess at what we are seeing?
BUT… and for sure that is “Patsy Counts” sitting on the swing seat – – and standing on the same seat is “Gail Porter” and the two would swing just as high as they could – – what FUN… we kids had???
“Gail” was in my same class and “Patsy” was a grade ahead of us in school.”
This is ME – – sure glad that I had an old bike at home – – so that my DAD could bring ‘it’ out for me to ride. But of course having a bike of my own – – there were always “fair-weather friends” – – every one has a few – – what ever you have… that ‘something’ – – and you will share with those – – some of them really do not like you – – only long enough to get to use your stuff – – then they do not care later on… to share their stuff.
When you live in an Orphanage – – you soon learn “WHO” are real friends – – and those that can not stand to be friends with anyone – – some have problems – – that will never ever be resolved – – so this type of a place is a very good learning ground – – for you to form your basic instincts of who to trust and how to learn to live with others – – with cool feelings – -knowing that this is only a temporary situation.
Anyway… this was the back drop – – of finding… that I had received a very nice record player – – but… that the NUNS – – decided this was not a safe place to have one – – so if you the reader tune in – – tomorrow – – you may find out what happens … NEXT???
