Aunt Irene at Race Track!

Two shots of Aunt Irene

Irene 001Never thought we would get Aunt Irene to go with us to  “Hialeah Park” race track.  We enjoyed a wonderful meal in the  “Club  House”  – that’s the only reason I go  – is to have a terrific  time with a most delicious meal to enjoy. This  visit  might  have been in 1962-1963  and Aunt Irene  could be  in her   77th  year?

God’s Blessing to Adopted Parents!

Blessed be those Parents who can find it in their  hearts  to  “Adopt” children and give them a home life that they will all enjoy for the rest of their lives!

Adopting children  is something so special, and so very costly to the  “Parents” who decide to make this commitment  and I feel that more  of us Americans should give  a helping hand to these special Parents, who go the extra  mile to bring up unwanted children in a home where  “LOVE” is the most important ingredient to the home life.

Every  child comes into this world with the same requirements:  will I  receive “LOVE”  –  will I be the most important person to this family  –  will I be treated  with the same care and treatment that will inspire me to be a credit and a help to my family and able to pass on the  “LOVE” I receive to the next generation?

If we had more  “Parents” today that would consider taking in children, so as to discourage aborting  and save  the children  –  who are suffering so much of this pain that is in the “NEWS”   at  the hands of murderers  in these abortion clinics.

Almighty God  continue to bless my brother  Denny and his wife Judy, who with  Your special   “LOVE”  and help all these years  –  were able to adopt three lovly children!  Thank you Denny and Judy for a job well done!

Needed – A Helping Hand!

Today,    “Abortion of Babies” is finally  getting the attention that is truly needed    –   here in America!   We just can not throw babies out   –   because we have made a mistake in our own life  –  for what ever the reason.

My solution to the problem would be to open up some of the school buildings and other  closed  large buildings that could be converted  to the  care of babies  that are not wanted and also the   senior  “Grandmas”  that have  need of a home and   “love babies”  and are still able to  hold a  “baby”  in their arms and  rock the “baby” in their arms  –  with true love!

There are  “wealthy people”   in  America  who would love to do something for  others in  true need  –  and  who would want to make a true difference in the lives of the very young children who are thought of as  “throw away  children”  and the senior  “Grandmas”  who in their whole life have given so much to the lives of others  and  are reciving so little   in  their later years   –   just when they really need help!

My plan would be  to  have   a kitchen and bakery with dining room on the lower level of this converted  building.  In  and on the next floor,  near  the  facility entrance   would be offices for  receiving incoming  “Mothers  to be”  and are  wanting  to abort their baby,  rooms for the Mother’s  temporary stay till delivery time  and  a possible work and or placment for work in the community.  Doctors and nurses on call for the necessary care of the children being born and  those coming into the facility for care   –  until a loving family would be found to adopt the child.

The  live-in  “Grandmas” would have rooms on the third floor and or on rooms above   – according to the building that is  used and how ever it can  be converted to give  “love and care” to children  and Grandmas!  Our live- in  “Grandmas”  would  all be furnished with confortable  “Rocking Chairs”  –  and there  would be rooms near the nursery so that all babies would receive hands of  “love and rocking ” from a truly lovable “Grandma”  who will give each child what our  “Almighty God”  wants each and every child brought into this world to receive!

Can I   inspire   anyone   “to want   –   what  is best”   for   each and every child brought into this world   –  Today?

Remember   –   if  you  read the  “Manual for Life”  –  that would be the “Bible”  –  all babies  come to us  as  “Gifts  from our  Almighty Creator!”

Visit MOM where She Works!

Lee shops 001Lee Jr. and Daddy  will be shopping at Jordan Marsh in Ft.Lauderdale,Florida.  When it came to thinking about what everyone would be wanting for Christmas, thought I would put  an application in at the big stores. So of the three stores  – which one called me  – Jordan Marsh!

One evening while working James Garner with two beautiful young ladies came walking through the store  – and like  “wild fire” the news was circulated to each department.  I was glad to have been working and getting an up close look  of him  strolling and enjoying the oh’s and ah’s from  the  sales people and shoppers!

Lee and Neighbors Visit Baby Al!

Neighbors 001“Little Lee” told his favorite neighbors,  about his NEW “Baby Brother Al” as,  today was visiting day!

The lady on the  right and under the window,  lived across the street from us, on the LAKE Melba – and Little Lee would visit almost all those neighbors – as he liked the water – and we have lots of stories about his going on the “LAKE” by himself.

Next to her and by the window area, is our neighbor that lived to the left of us, Mrs. Florence Morgan – and she really did like “Lee” as he would just walk into her house whenever – and  we did get to hear about  all of those stories, too!

Sitting on the left and  the wall area, is Lee,Jr., and Mrs. Morgan’s sister – and I cannot remember her name – but she would come down during the “SEASON” for long visits and sometimes would even come to my house for visits with the children, too!

One thing for sure, when you have good neighbors – you just might consider yourself very   “Lucky and Blessed”  to have  such  really good FRIENDS,  and forever!      D.V.
