“Father’s Day at Fairgrounds Park”
Nothing like a “PARK” within walking distance to your “HOME” – – because you can enjoy all of the big FAMILY and RELATIVE with FRIENDS and even the Neighbors getting together – you will have “PARK” benches with lots of nicely mowed green grass for he children to play and run around playing GAMES – – while you find the perfect spot to set-up the REFRESHMENT table – – and bigger containers filled with blocks of ice … to keep all those favorite drinks ready – – to cool down – – at just the right moment.
Here we are… my brothers, DENNY Jr., and TOMMY and “ME” – – and to have this wonderful lake – – right in the middle of “FAIRGROUND PARK” – – and also the bridge – – as you can see in the background – – sure does make for lots of FUN — as we have so much ground to run around on – – and then know to finally… end up near the “LAKE” to cool down – as you see us having our picture taken – together!
In the 1940’s this is what I can call a very perfect
FATHER’s DAY” PHOTO … “FATHER and Children” and in this PHOTO – – – we even have our “brand new baby” little sister, “EVE KAREN” – – this is a very special day to all of us – to be able – – to have this PHOTO of a HAPPY DAY – – when we were all together!
In LIFE… we are each on a “journey” and some of us are designated to be together …in a FAMILY setting – – and then sometimes – – our “journey” takes one or two of us out of this FAMILY – causing grief and sorrow – – and at other TIMES great JOY and LOVE – – but that is what this “JOURNEY” is all about – – we do need to learn different lessons – – on HOW and WHEN to make changes – – look for the TRUTH and LIGHT – – that the CREATOR of us all is providing to us – – and in the end …we each reap that which we sow – –
Looking back… each generation from so far back… has done all that they thought was to be the “PATH” for them – – but when someone…takes the TIME to look back and see the LESSONS each previous generation went through – and then… what they accomplished – – then… that “ONE” can start to understand – – if only there would have been a more perfect “LOG of EXPERIENCE” passed on – – to the next generation… – but in this LIFE – – each generation feels – – that they have to do it “THEIR WAY” – – not using any of the previous experiences – – NOW – suffer to redo the very same old mistakes… all along their… way!
