“August 1st – Lee’s Birthday – ends on 31st”

Celebrating  “Lee G. Aldrich Sr. Birthday” on August 1st and all month long  – – even on the 31st… and forever – – as long as we can celebrate “BIRTHDAYS” – – by remembering those that we did LOVE – – and that we will always LOVE – – and until that “DAY” when we are united together… forever and ever – – with our CREATOR.

These “Photos”  were all taken when  we lived in “Fort Lauderdale, Florida”  in the 1960’s. They are all favorites of mine as they are in this small  photo frame – – which is sitting in my office  – just where I will be seeing all of those I LOVE when we lived in “HEAVEN” – –  because…  we had the “head of our FAMILY”… with us  alive and well.

Life… here on Earth – – is not suppose to be “Heaven on EARTH” – – because of “Adam and Eve” – – we are NOW on a journey to seek that which is possible to attain – – but we have to take the test of LIFE. Early on … we learn  as we go – – new lessons daily – – and all  learning comes to us starting with our FAMILY.

 When I was a child.. our Family went to Church… and the PHOTO on the left, above… is all of  us dressed and ready for DADDY to drive us to Church – – the next PHOTO  is “DADDY giving MAMA”  a big “KISS” – – because… I will be out in the KITCHEN – – for awhile… preparing dinner.

The third PHOTO, on the right – –  is “DADDY” home from the RESTAURANT – – for a good hour… as he goes in at six o’clock in the morning – – getting things ready for the BREAKFAST crowd. Sometimes and  after  the “LUNCH” rush – – “DADDY will come home  for “forty winks rest” in his favorite recliner – – so that when he goes back to the “RESTAURANT” – – he can  do more “cooking” and  or helping where needed… should a worker not show up… or if … everything has gone just right – – he can just  sit at a table with a customer or two – – and do what most customers like to – – just have a good “CHAT” with the BOSS!

Here’s the secret to having “HEAVEN” here on EARTH – – just in case you need to know.Where ever YOU are… home –  work –  play – –  – – and you are with others – – forget your own-self – – always be mind-full  of those with  and around you – –  are they happy or sad… do they need something that you can give or share with them.

Life is really about seeing what …”I can do for YOU” – – do not sit around expecting another to do for you – – you be the one to offer HELP to those around – –  be generous in trying to serve another – – let others feel so good – – and while doing so… you will find that you, YOURSELF – – just feels so much better – -just because you were able to  do  for someone else… making them  feel better – – than they ever did… before.

It truly is… in the LOVE and CONCERN for another – – you are living LIFE to the fullness that will make you even healthier and younger… than you  have ever  felt before!
