Sep 21st “Marie Brady on Her Birthday”

This is one of those, most favorite PHOTOS, that I have of my Mother, when she was a little girl!

Several times I saw a PHOTO,  just  like  the above,  that reminded me of this PHOTO.

If you watch “Turner Classics Movies” in the evenings, and I am not sure exactly when – but they have a very large  “Scrapbook”  where  the pages are  opening  from one page to the next.  I am not sure  which evenings or for what special night’s show,  but pages  of  the this large scrapbook  are flipping open and slowly, so that the viewer can see  and view quickly some special items, and if ever you are watching – get a real good look at the  third inside page on the left.

As the pages are turned backwards, is when you can see a large enough size PHOTO of a girl, in a white dress, just like the dress on “Marie Brady” – in the above PHOTO. Everytime  I do try to see  if and or who they have in that dress, as  that dress does stand out – once you have seenit!

The above PHOTO is earl 1900. Maybe up to 1910 as I am not good as judging a person’ age, just by the dress. The dress does look like a “PARTY DRESS”  and for the time period, they did wear dresses that were down to the ankle. Also,  due to the color of the hair, “MARIE”  did say something about being called, “Cotton-top”  before the color  turned to a blond, and then brown.

Just looking at this PHOTO – was wondering  – how many “petticoats”  and or “bloomer” type or “pantaloons” would a young child need to wear – just to make the dress look so nice?

Just had to add this – as I did

not think that they were

still available?

Sep 20th “MOM’s Birthday is Just Around the Corner”

   “Mother” Grand and Great!

“Mother”  equals Miracles!  Let’s start at the beginning. Without  “Mother,”  there would  be no  “New Little Creations of Life.”   The way,  our Almighty   created His  world to continue,  was to give  “Mothers”  the “Blessings of Life.” And the “word” for life,  is:  “It’s a  Miracle!”

Are those not the exact words you hear, by everyone at  and in the  “maternity-ward?”

Whatever  road  –  your journey in “Life”  is taking you  –  remember always,  your “Mother” was the first one to “Love You”  –  no matter what else happens on the way. 

We, all are not born with “Silver Spoons”  and  in the “Land of Plenty!”   As  there are some that entered on this “Road of Life”  with the most meager amount of substance, and as in  this great game of life,   You  work,  on your own plan to success,  and with that plan  to enter into Eternity  –   into those arms of,  Your Creator!

Today, Mom!   It  is almost your  “Birthday” to celebrate and  be remembered,  “for all you did,”  for  all of your family!    I know, what a rough road you were on for awhile.    Some families,  get  side tracked and do  not  remember their  own families with  honour and respect,     because, they  have let their eyes,   become blinded. 

   They have  forgotten   their  first    “Love”    Mother, but forever,  I will always remember  “YOU as the best MOM”  that ever lived on this earth!      “Happy Birthday!”

Sep 20th “If You Did Not KNOW – Listen NOW”

The movie, The Bodyguard,  with Kevin Costner, and Whitney Houston is one movie that I could watch several times – and still watch even more – just something about the movie that,  when you listen to Kevin Costner give details about the two – you will feel like watching the movie – right now and again – as there is real LOVE coming across, meaning that our Creator put all of us – here on EARTH, for a purpose, and if we find that which we need to do here –  and do it NOW, we will have accomplished  all that we were directed to do here – on this our on private  journey.

“Our CREATOR and Eternity  are waiting for those of us – that have completed their Mission, here on Earth.”
