“Eve Karen is a Natural…”

Eve Karen 001

Like I was saying…nothing like celebrating someone’s BIRTHDAY for the whole week.

Evidently…we must have been enjoying ourselves so much… and in taking a few pictures – – while  we were “bowling” – those that were in the area around where we were…must have thought that we thought we were special or very important – – just to be doing all the silly stuff we were – – back in the day when we  were taking EVE KAREN McClarren  around – must have been just a little more than most people would do on a “HAPPY DAY” outing???

Sure was glad to have my brother, TOM McClarren along…as he was taking the PHOTOS… and if ever you are having  FUN and a very good time… –  – it will  sooner or later…all fade…  from  the old “memory”   bank…  – – but if you have a couple of old PHOTOS – – well… there is… then…  no  way  of ever forgetting – since you will always have a  beautiful  visual memory…and good memories are what we always want to have …forever!

When celebrating and having lots of GOOD FUN…always have someone in charge of taking the PHOTOS…because someday…those PHOTOS will be worth millions in memories –  so remember that I told you – – YOU can thank me later – good memories are the LIFE of the LIVING Journey…that we sure are traveling…NOW!

“Nothing – LIKE Sharing…”

Karen & Tom 001

“Share and Share alike…”When Tom McClarren and little sister,   EVE Karen McClarren…have “BIRTHDAYS” – – only three days apart…Sharing the Birthdays…calls for a two-week stretch of  sharing the GOOD TIMES!

Early in LIFE… may be I should say “VERY EARLY” – – everybody has taken notice that… if  you want to have a “PARTY” – – I mean  a “PARTY” that will last from the start…go – – to the finish that you want for the crowd to stay and enjoy… Then you will have invited “TOM McCLARREN” – he is the “BORN” Master of PARTIES!

In the above PHOTO is young EVE KAREN and big brother, TOM McCLARREN – – only six years older – – but in the above  PHOTO – – if only you could hear the “Comedians” – – there is just no way you can stop a “HIT SHOW” of Comedy – when it is going on – – and no one would ever try to stop TOM – you would never have a chance. TOM is on stage…all the time – – you are always being entertained  – – whether you like it or not – – and… I have never heard  of anyone,  that would even… try to stop him…but when Tom is ready to leave… everyone is bagging Tom … to stay – – they want more!

When you have …a first class entertainer in the FAMILY – -share the the excitement with FRIENDS and  even…  your enemies – – you will only make them jealous…that they do not have  the FUN and ENJOYMENT…that you are always having and all… without cost.  Just be there …or be square…as they used to say…back in the day.

For at least – NOW …share in the BIRTHDAYS…of the  McCLARREN FAMILY…for  this…two weeks…just have some real old fashion FUN!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY…… EVE KAREN …and her big brother,  TOM!

“MY two FAVORITE…BROTHERS”

“NOW…we three…my two brothers and myself… are one year apart…We are NOW…76 years old…77 years old…and 78 years old.  There’s  nothing better than trying to play …”Catch UP”  – – there  will always be a few months…here and there…but .. always  …the  “three musketeers…one for all…and ALL for ONE!”

Getting older and trying to put on a tough look…looks like TOMMY   is holding his breath…I may have said “STAND STILL…DON’T MOVE” – – sure hope that holding your breath…will not hurt???

Just could not forget this  special…time in our LIVES…when I had Denny and TOMMY pose in  my ‘GRADUATION DRESS’ – – since I was going to make some alterations on it – – and I needed a body inside of   “it”  to see  “WHAT CHANGES…should I make”  “HOW DO THEY LOOK?”

This PHOTO is from mid 1940’s – – I am taking this PHOTO.

This is the “BOYS’ side PAVILION and on one of the visiting Sundays’   – – – MOM,  TOMMY,  DENNY, and if you look – – up and over the top of the heads of Denny and Tommy –  you can see my DADDY leaning forward – – giving me directions on how to take this photo. This is one of the oldest of old “BOX” cameras – and of course…it was all “LUCK” if you were able to get a good PHOTO…of anybody???

These PHOTOS are especially for our brains to take us back to a better TIME…considering the conditions of how AMERICA  –  has taken a real nose dive in the way way  that …it used to be… and what we have today.  So if you had good memories in he past…hold on to them…if it is at all possible to make more  good  memories …     for your next generations to follow…do so very carefully…as good memories are important  – at least to me.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY…TOMMY – – and many more…forever!!!”
