“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???
