“July 1st is almost… here”
“WE will all CELEBRATE – this Weekend!”
“Do you see my hand… – – well – – I know – – or maybe I should say … I have an idea … that something real special is coming up – – and… I am not suppose to know – – other-wise… HOW ??? – Will I be able to act so supersized – – – – When I hear everyone – – start to “yell out” – SURPRISE and HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALAN!”
“Seems to me – – that everyone is talking about… all the stuff going on this weekend – – This whole week- end – – there will be… “FIRE-WORK DISPLAYS” – at the FOREST PARK – – all kinds of rides and places selling all kinds of FOOD – – and… all of this will start with … one of the most spectacular of PARADES – – everyone and everybody – – that is… that I know… will be there – – as they are even having the “HOT AIR BALLOONS” there… and some of my friends are planning on taking one of those rides – – as they never did that before – – and this weekend – – well – it just looks like that will be the exciting thing to do!”
“When I think back…I remember hearing GRANDMA – – telling me that my “BIRTHDAY” was suppose to be on “JULY 4th” – – but since I had decided to be born a few days earlier – – on the “1st” – – that all of this celebrating is all… “just for me” – – because GRANDMA… also said that we should celebrate our BIRTHDAYS for the whole week!” AND – – the reason for that…. is that – TODAY – -people are so busy with all that they “have to do” – – FAMILIES – WORK – and so many new things happening that keep us always doing something – – that – when an occasion comes up for the FAMILY to get together – – not all of the FAMILY can make the free time to celebrate together – – as one big united FAMILY!
“So… here is my “THANK YOU” – – to the whole wide world – – for deciding to help me – celebrate with all of my FAMILY and the many other people – – that are in the celebrating mood – – since everyone is off work – – and they will always have several days – – all lined up together for us to have the best BIRTHDAY PARTY!”
“Let us all join in to sing “HAPPY BIRTHDAY *** ALAN” – – and many more with BLESSINGS from our ALMIGHTY CREATOR YAHWEH!” D.V.

“BABY’s DAY OUT and in the POOL”
Seems that this is the year “2018”.. .for an early Summer Heat Wave – – – and that means that all of the FAMILY have to go to the “POOL” – – to “COOL” off!
When the whole FAMILY wants to “COOL” down from the excessive HEAT WAVE – – is there a better way to do it – – than to just take “BABY Lex” and see if he likes it and how well do we all get along in the water – – even if the water level is just barely there – – that is for the safety of baby, LEX! And it looks like baby, Les has the right idea – – he is tasting the water – – you might say – – and if it tastes “OKAY” – – will let us all… just fall in – – and do our thing – – swim until we turn into an over-grown size fish – – and must then… move on to cleaner pastures and or waters!
“How do you like this PHOTO???”
If I was to put a “title” to this PHOTO – – I would have to call it “MONKEY SHINES” and or “buffoonery, and even sometimes just plain ole “clownery around and maybe…horsing around – – but whatever it takes… for a “GOOD TIME” to be had by all – – in the end… “FUN” is the name of the game!
“Just giving this PHOTO a second “look-see” – – baby, LEX is joining in on the “FUNNY FACES:” – – have you ever seen a small baby … stick his tongue out at the guy that is taking the PHOTO and also pointing with his finger to his tongue and looking right at YOU – – with eyes telling – – enough ‘silly’ stuff is enough!
“There are a thousand words to a PHOTO – – and this PHOTO – – well… it has even more than enough to say – – just look and enjoy!” D.V.

“One More FATHER’s DAY this month of JUNE”
Nothing like celebrating “FATHER’S DAY” one more SUNDAY in JUNE – – especially and since it means that you are going to be with your “Grand-Son, Lex” the “A #1 GRAND-SON” – – and winner of the “BEST OF BABIES’ ever Award!
When it comes to holding a baby – – you want some strong arms that can rock baby gently and with a song that makes baby feel like he is floating on a cloud – -with no cares and no worries – – since “Big Daddy Gramps” is on full time duty – – BABY, Lex rests!
How’s this…Uncle Alan and Aunt Jaime – – each want to hold BABY, Lex and have to just wait their tun – – as BABY, Lex gets so much attention from each of the Family members – – now just learning that they have to wait their turn – – and share having FUN with baby, Lex!
Celebrating “FATHER’s DAY” again with the FAMILY – – have one more new creation just made and “HOT off the PRESS” – – a shirt to delight “Mr. BIG G, himself” – —– something to wear when flying – – just one of the new reminders – – that “FATHER’s DAY” is when – – and wherever the FAMILY feels like having a terrific good time with their good ole “DAD and GRAND-DAD” – – as one DAY a month is never enough to have FUN with your DAD!
Just wishing that all “Dads” have and had as much FUN with all of their children – – today – – tomorrow — for ever and always – – with many BLESSINGS for the whole FAMILY from our one and only CREATOR the Almighty Yahweh – – – giving to all of us the GIFT of LOVE – – one for another – – as HE gives to all of us!

“Best FRIENDS Never Forgotten”
“Happy Birthday “Kelly”
Happy Birthday to another dear friend, Kelly Uzzetta. Have a lot of friends who are having a birthday all around this same time of the year!
Kelly was looking for a new home when I first met her. I was a real estate agent at the time and we spent a couple of weeks looking for a nice property – something with some land and lots of room for their seven (7) children. We found just the right property and her family moved in – and we had struck up such a good friendship, which was fun for both of us, and our families.
Over the years her children grew up and I was invited to birthdays and then to weddings and to children being born, making “Kelly” a “Grandma!” Also, Mr. Uzzetta was in the construction business and I was in need of having a new “bay window” to be installed in my home. Mr. Uzzetta and his son were able to complete this job, perfectly. There were several other jobs that were needed and Mr.Uzzetta was able to do these as well and at reasonable rates.
There were times when we had the Uzzettas come over for dinner and we were also to their home just as many or more times. It was just one of those times when you just click into a good friendship, and not knowing what the future has in store – and we did enjoyed many good years associating!
The time for an unforeseen accident though is something – we just could not comprehend. Kelly had just come home from work and had dinner with her family – and was going to enjoy a short time watching TV – when without any warning and no way to know – what would be happening in just a very fast and few minutes?
Coming down the highway – a driver “drunk” and having been arrested so many times and still had his driver’s license – crossed over the highway – up and over another road-way and right into “Kelly’s” living room window and “Kelly was there suiting, on the sofa.
Instantly, she was killed. The living room and front entrance to the house, all damaged beyond belief. How could this have happened? The drunk-driver came right between two (2) very large trees – and he, without a scratch. What a night -mare for my very good friend, Kelly and her family. Her funeral followed in a few days. Such a good life – killed by a drunk-driver, who should have been without a license to drive – and all the while he was never corrected in all of the previous arrests – – but for some reason… he still just had to have one more and or one too many drinks???
Kelly – you may not be here on earth, right now – but you are in a for greater place and that is in Heaven – I will never ever forget you. You were and always will be, a “terrific friend to me!”
“Still wishing you the best of BIRTHDAYS and NOW … You with your husband, Al – – have the best of HOMES in HEAVEN to celebrate in!”

“One More for FATHER’s DAY”
Just happened to see this terrific PHOTO of my brother, TOM McClarren and his daughter, Cherie – – and it was posted for “Father’s Day” – – so… and since I feel that we should celebrate “FATHER’s Day” all through the month of JUNE – – this is a wonderful way to celebrate with “Dear Ole Dad” – – dancing!
One More Thing… looking at this PHOTO… this same PHOTO could be posted to celebrate “St.Patrick’s Day” also – – since “TOM” is wearing his “GREEN” on the lapel – – and in the back ground of this PHOTO… is more “GREEN” – – and the topper of this is – – if you are a “MAC” here in the STATES – – you are also a “MAC” in the land of IRELAND – – from whence we all came!
“Happy FATHER’s DAY and have a HAPPY St. Pat’s Day – – when it rolls around – – again and again!” D.V.
