“Happy Birthday TOM ALDRICH” | Grandma’s Stories

Dec 12th “Happy Birthday TOM ALDRICH”

Here are a couple of PHOTOS of THOMAS H. ALDRICH – – who has BIRTHDAY on… DECEMBER 13th…

That is a pretty ‘serious look’ on “TOMMY’s” face – – guessing that their cold weather … over there … in “Korea” is colder than our cold weather here… in the “STATES’ – – right??… Or Wrong?

“How’s this PHOTO of ‘TOM’ and his War-dog “SHANE” – – they are so cleaned-up – – even nice and shinny boots – – with his ‘favorite’ of most favorite dog’s.”

Here we are… before… “TOMMY” enlisted in the ARMY – – and we are all celebrating his BIRTHDAY – – which is on the 13th of December and … little “LEE” just had his “BIRTHDAY” on the 5th of DECEMBER – – but that blowing out of the candles is something else… not often done – – so little “LEE” has to have the candles glowing again and again – – just for him – – to practice his “blowing out” skills – – while there is a good chance of getting his way!

“Tommy” is sitting at the head of the table – – clock-wise… around the table… on the right is ‘the’… “DONALD” in charge of lighting the candles for those… that want to practice blowing – – next is “DADDY” “LEE ,SR.”, also… doing some blowing. But “LITTLE LEE,Jr.” – – he is winning by a mile – – he just has more air and always ready – – for those candles – – they just do not have a chance to “glitter” — – so we just have to put an end to the candles – – and get to the best part of this BIRTHDAY Party” for TOM!

Take a second look at the “CAKE” – – – – that is what I like to do. When we were in Florida – – and I had the time – – and… always a “BIRTHDAY” to celebrate – – I could really make the “BEST of CAKES” – – my “DAD” was a CHEF by trade – – and he made the best – – and so… when you taste the best – – that is what you always strive to do – – make each “CAKE” better than the last one!

“That is the best part of having a “BIRTHDAY” – – a terrific “Birthday Cake” that is the ‘BEST ONE’ – – but… only and until the next “BIG BIRTHDAY” comes along – – and then we say… “This is the… ‘for sure’ “BEST BIRTHDAY CAKE” ever!” – – and as soon as we say that… well… “WE” can hardy wait… till the next “BIG” Birth Day CAKE!” D.V.
