“Did YOU… See “ME” just Fly By”

Oct 18th “Did YOU… See “ME” just Fly By”

There must be something ‘strange’ going on in MISSOURI – – or just something in the WATER – – or maybe just the WEATHER – – something that ‘wakes up’ these old bones and makes “ME” get up on this ‘BIKE’ – – and just FLY around on the streets – – just like a kid… again?

I wish my Grandson, ALAN would have caught a PHOTO of the youngster – – maybe seven years old on his bike – – posed just like me… above – – looked like to me – – that he was waiting for me to enter into the street area – – and he was going to tag along with me???

My son, Al – – also saw the boy and said something – – and when he heard us – – and then… saw us all look his way – – he took off – – guess he was thinking that I would be too much of a match for him – – he probably sized me up – – as someone having too much experience on a bike – – and I would just “FLY BY” – – and leave him behind???

“How’s this………

When I was in High School… “Rosati Kain” and there was a “BUS” strike going on for a week – – I had to get to school – – so… for this picture I put on the ‘dunce cap’ – – just in case I did not make it… to school? My school cap… flying around on top – – just for effect? My biggest problem was – – trying to hold on to an arm full of books – – and then – – making sure that my skirt was not ‘flying too high’ in the air??? “What a trip… for a week – – “but I made it” – – here I am – – to tell all about it!”

And… here is…

a much younger “MARY ELLEN” at the “Orphans’ HOME” – – may be in the fifth or sixth grade – – and if… I find the first of my riding a bike – – well – – it will be posted also! D.V.
