Alan and the Girls!
Alan invited everybody to his “BIRTHDAY PARTY” and everybody dressed in their “cool” easy on the eyes Summer Fashion!
If you were at the party to sing “Happy Birthday Alan” – and -many – many – more… – never can tell – but, you may be seeing your “photo” here, too!
Sure hope that “whoever” was taking pictures – found out how to hold those new kind of cameras extra steady – because it sure looks like – to me – that someone moved?!

“Every Hair in Place!”
When you have to drop everything you are doing – when you are a “KID” – that means, that I have to stop playing with my friends – take a shower – get myself all dressed up – as if I was going to England, to visit the Queen of England – everyone knows that we are related – all this and that just to pose half of a dozen and more different ways – I do not think that the Queen will remember me, – anyway?
Can you tell that – I’m trying to keep a straight face – I have to keep my attention where the Photographer is directing me to look – into the camera – so that when this photo gets hung on the “WALL” and someone is looking at me – and they move to another part of the room – they will say, “Alan is following me – no matter where I go in this room – he is looking – right at me!”

“An Enthusiastic Smile – Wow’s me!”
“Alan is so KEEN – in all that he does!” That’s how I would talk in the 1950’s and Alan’s eagerness to pose for the best picture for “GRANDMA” to have of him – today – just makes my day!
When they say – “kids open up a gift and then – play with the box” – that’s not true when it comes to my Grand-son, Alan! Alan loves to receive gifts that require lots of thought and a million parts – so that he can make something – per the directions – and with lots of variations – hopefully enough parts to make several items – and something that will absolutely “KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF!”
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY” to You! “Happy Birthday – dear Alan!”

Every “BOY” needs a Dog!
How does that saying go? “Every BOY needs a dog to adore him…and a cat to bring him back to reality!”
One thing that I can say for sure is… “Alan always lets you know with his big smile – that what ever gift you just gave to him – the gift is worth a million to him!” Alan’s “BIG” smile is the “proof of the pudding” – no matter what. In looking closely at the “DOG” in this picture – he looks so happy and secure – with it’s head close to Alan’s heart – the “DOG” knows that this is the best place for him to be – and that is – to stay in the arms of Alan, who will be giving him lots of love and good care!

“This is the Life!”
When you find that you have “TIME” – to just be with the ones you “LOVE” – and there is no big hurry to rush the time – that the whole world stops time – just for those – who are going to remember these “precious moments” – for a “LIFE-TIME!”
The “precious children” you receive – are only so small and so enjoyable – if you will only remember that – these “TIMES” with our small children go by too fast – and can never-ever be duplicated – Never, ever again – can we have – that wonderful – short pasage of “TIME” – a second longer or to ever think we will do it once more?
Love your small children now – tomorrow could be too late!
