Grandma’s Stories

Jun 28th “WE will all CELEBRATE – this Weekend!”

“Do you  see my hand…  – – well … I know  – – or maybe I should say … I have an idea … that something real special is coming up – – and…  I am not suppose to know – – other-wise… HOW ??? – Will I  be able to act so supersized – –   – –  When I hear everyone – – start to “yell out”  – SURPRISE  and  HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALAN!” 

“Seems to me – – that everyone is talking about…   all the stuff going on this weekend – – This whole week- end – – there  will   be… “FIRE-WORK  DISPLAYS” – at the FOREST PARK – –  all kinds of rides and places selling all kinds of  FOOD – – and…  all of this will start  with … one of the most spectacular of PARADES – –  everyone and everybody – – that is…  that I know…  will be there  – – as they are even having the “HOT  AIR BALLOONS”  there…  and some of my friends are planning on taking one of those rides – – as they never did that before – – and this weekend – – well – it just looks like that will be the exciting thing to do!”

“When I think back…I remember hearing GRANDMA – – telling me that my “BIRTHDAY” was suppose to be on “JULY 4th” – – but since I had decided to be born a few days earlier – – on the “1st”  – – that all of this celebrating is all… just for me – – because GRANDMA… also said that we should celebrate our BIRTHDAYS for the whole week!”  AND – – the reason for that….  is that – TODAY – -people are so busy with all that they have to do – – FAMILIES – WORK –  and so many new things happening that keep us always doing something – – that  – when an occasion comes up for the FAMILY  to get together – – not all of the FAMILY can make the  free time to celebrate  together – – as an united FAMILY!

 “So… here is my  THANK YOU – – to the whole wide world – – for deciding to help me  – celebrate with all of my FAMILY and the  many other people – –  that are in the celebrating mood – – since everyone is off work – – and there will always several days  – – all lined up together for us to have the best BIRTHDAY PARTY!”

Jul 2nd “We are ready to CELEBRATE!”

“One of the “RULES” – that we  have at our HOUSE is….It took a whole year to get to turn the “PAGE” on the calendar – so…  It will take a whole week to CELEBRATE – getting into that new age bracket???”

TODAY… with the FAMILY spread out across the COUNTRY and in  so many  places –  that it takes some…  almost a week to “FLY-IN”  just from some of the locations … and   – it takes a whole week to get…  – to know when and where and “WHO” can meet   –  – and then the extra get-to-gathers – just because some people – just have  to be on each and every scene – –  as they …  as it just so happens to be  –  the “VERY MOST  and IMPORTANT” of of all people – – – and without – – –  you may as well  – – just stay HOME!

As “LUCK” would have it… how could I have planned on  anything   better??? July 1st is  on WEDNESDAY – plan on Thursday as a day off – and FRIDAY is HOLIDAY PAY DAY – – since the “FOURTH of JULY falls on SATURDAY and the “LUCK” just wants to continue with SUNDAY – and that is for sure a “DAY OFF” for everyone –  – –  “WOULD you know of any   better  “DAY” to have your BIRTHDAY” – and always know that  your FAMILY will always have the chance to be with you  –  celebrating your BIRTHDAY – and everybody including – –  the “BIG BIRTHDAY”   – –  “GUY” – is always receiving the best  of BIRTHDAY GIFTS – and that  is to always  have the ones  that  – you LOVE the MOST – close to the  your HEART – whenever it  really  counts!   “And that’s on YOUR BIRTHDAY!”

Jul 1st “This is the – “BIG BIRTHDAY” party DAY…”

“This is the BEST DAY of the YEAR!”  “I almost thought…   that  – I was not going to be able to wait… another day???”

July 1st – starts everything… Government and all BIG BUSINESS starts their fiscal year , today – – – In this month of JULY – we have to ascertain   our situations – – –  as to where we were and what we did do…  and NOW we have to strive with new and better plans … for our FUTURE GROWTH – and the  PLANS  – that we put together today… will determine the future greatness for all AMERICANS … living in this  COUNTRY  with total UNITY  of  all for the greater good! “Let’s all work together to make AMERICA strong, again!”

“Now getting back to my BIG BIRTHDAY PARTY…. as long as no one  forgot –   TODAY – – we will all celebrate – SATURDAY – so that we can all be together for FUN and GAMES…”

“JUST so you – all – will know  – – – the above photo of me is my GRANDMA’s  –  favorite – so that is why… it is posted –  – –  You “all” know that  – – GRANDMA – –  likes what she likes –  – – and she will always let the whole wide world  – – know that  – – you can not change her mind – – when she has made up her mind –  – that’s  … the way  GRANDMA  is …  and always will be…  I sure do hope that everybody LOVES my  GRANDMA!”  “TOO???”

Jun 30th “Only want to KNOW… HOW MUCH LONGER…???”

“Every day … I have been asking… HOW MUCH LONGER… – till my “BIG BIRTHDAY” party?”

The only answers – that I have been given… “SOON” – well …  how long does it take for “SOON” to get here???

I have been counting  –  the days – and at least “FIVE” (5) days have gone by – and still no  “BIG BIRTHDAY” party… for me???

The other BIG DEAL… is … that I am worried that  – everybody is just  Kidding… me  – just because I’m a little KID –  –  I think that I am getting a BIG HEADACHE??? – I am not KIDDING you –   –  I can feel my HEAD – and it hurts  – Feel it …  so you will know what I am talking about… I am getting a big Headache!!!

So… How do I know that nothing is happening  – – –  – I don’t see any decorations and party supplies  coming into our house – – –  does not seem to me that anybody is getting ready for anything “SPECIAL” like… my “BIG BIRTHDAY” – so… I have an idea – as to what I will do…

“I have a plan – – If nothing “SPECIAL” happens tomorrow… I will be calling my “GRANDMA” – and I know that she will  – let me  know … exactly what is going on…. for me  – and if and when …. My BIG BIRTHDAY” party will take place??? – My GRANDMA knows everything – and she will not let anybody forget my BIRTHDAY!”

Jun 29th “Man’s BEST FRIEND – MY BIRTHDAY PARTNER”

“There’s one gift for a “KID” – that has attached memories   – -that will last all through LIFE!”

Here  is my BEST FRIEND …”Benji”… he LOVES me  – so much – he hangs out with me all the time – no matter where I go  – – good ole “Benji” will tag along … and follow – he just knows – – that I want him with me all day and all night!

Just  look at the way  … my little ole “BENJI”  – he just wants me to hold him in my arms –   “Benji” just LOVES  being close to my “HEART” – he is listening – and he knows that I am  … his BEST FRIEND, too!

Jun 28th “Getting ready for my – “BIRTHDAY!”

“No – “BODY” – has to tell  –  “ME” twice – to get ready for my “BIRTHDAY!” Nothing like asking  some “BIG” person – who just might have an idea – just exactly when my “BIRTHDAY”  – will be here? 

“And the TEACHER” at this place said, “If I were you – I would start to make some  big “POSTERS” and hang them “ALL”  around the neighborhood – where you live – so that all of your little “FRIENDS” will be able to find your house –  – – they can tell their parents – who will be driving them over to your house – and  “ALL”  with their presents for you –  – – that if they just look for all of your special POSTERS – – –  they will soon be helping you to celebrate – this “BIG BIRTHDAY PARTY”  –  just –  for you – since this “ONE” will be a real big “HUM-DINGIER” !”

“As you can see – I am working just as fast as I can!”  “MY  “TEACHER”  is giving me some real good ideas –  since she knows that I like to be creative with all of the stuff I do…  I am also designing a new type of game for all of my friends … to have FUN  – while we are waiting for the “CAKE and ICE CREAM”  – this is such a good idea – I had better keep it under wraps – sure do not want someone to use my “IDEA” – that is before my “BIG BIRTHDAY” gets here!”

P.S. – I sent out all the invitations that I made – sure hope that –  you got yours and will be replying –  before the “DEAD” line???
