Grandma’s Stories

Apr 24th “Thief” Caught in Action!

When all of the items  from our storage area were  no longer around —  just  had to check out what “Little Lee”  was up to – very   “Lucky”  to have my camera ready  and – –  Little Lee got caught in the act ! He’s not two years of age yet!   Has four months to go and has enough stremgth to pull all kinds of  stuff down the street to his friend, Arthur’s house.

Arthur’s mother called me  – one day  – to tell me that “LITTLE LEE”  was bringing our stuff down to their house and wanted to know if we just did not  want these  things  – or what should she do?  Her son, Arthur was four years older than “Little Lee”  and the two of them were always busy doing  some wild and dangerous activities! I will have to write about some of the activities these two got caught doing!

Apr 23rd “Easter Chick on the Loose!”

We bought four (4) Easter Chicks for the kids  and only this one survived! This picture is of Lee Aldrich trying to get his chick so that he can feed him. The chick is too scared of  someone chasing him with a pan with chicken feed?  A chick may not have too many brains – but a chick sure does have to take cover for protection and a place of safety – and under this TV looks like a good place ro take cover  – or so the chick thinks to himself? But little Lee is too determined to give up  – and – looks like Little Lee is going after the chick – even under the TV!

Apr 22nd Easter Baskets for the Boys!

The story with this picture is; We, Lucky Boy Drive-In, sponsored an Easter Egg Hunt, for our employees, families, friends – We had games and lots of fun for the children. My son, Al with the full basket –  too heavy to hold had the basket in his  big brother, Lee’s hand, and hardly anything in it – — Lee saw that his little brother was sad because he had a hard time finding eggs,  with some bigger and faster kids  all in a hurry to find the “golden egg”  for “First Prize”  – Al did not collect many eggs – but when his big brother Lee gave him  his basket – Al was on top of the world!

Apr 21st Breakfast After Church!

After Church on Easter Sunday we took the children to eat at the Pancake House and meet the “Easter Bunny”  — left to right – Donald – Al – Lee Aldrich.

This picture was taken at least ’50’ years ago. Looks like little Al has his doubts about getting too close to this “Big Bunny” – something just isn’t right – this Bunny is bigger than anything “real” that I ‘ve seen and this takes the cake! I’m only guessing that maybe Al is thinking this – what would a little Kid think when he sees something so out of size and that does not look like a  very real “BUNNY”  – nothing at all like the little “bunnies” you can hold in your arms?

Apr 20th Wishing everyone a “HAPPY EASTER”

Alyssa and Jaime Aldrich are wishing all of their extra special friends a very “HAPPY EASTER!” Looks like Alyssa is so busy trying to  open something very  carefully and can not be disturbed for a photo,  right now? –  But, Jaime is so sweet,  she has something she found in her basket and  the look in her face  – it seems to say, “Would you like to taste some of these wonderful candies I just received from the BIG BUNNY?”
