“Birthday Memories from a LONG TIME ago”
“Down… ‘MEMORY LANE’… for RAYE in CALIFORNIA”
Since we were talking on the telephone…today – – just thought that this collage of photos – – from the “German St. Vincent’s Home” will have you maybe remembering some good old days – – some thing even special – – that may have happen… so long ago???
This page of “PHOTOS” is from the … “1950 – Souvenir Program” – this book does have a good number of “old” PHOTOS – – and what I can not figure out…is that in all the years that I was there – – I can not find any PHOTOS – – of which my brothers DENNY and TOMMY or even of myself… just nothing shown – – all though in the PHOTO with the three girls on bikes – – they do have someone on one of those bikes – that does belong to me?
As far as I can figure… is that there must have been only some special ORPHANS – that were used in the special dress up for a special time to be photographed.
Like they say… In LIFE…everyone has their own fifteen minute of FAME and FORTUNE… and being in the Orphanage – – was not to be a very special TIME for me. That must have been a TIME for a much deeper understanding …for me to learn…maybe something more substantial to the type of LIFE and the WORK …including what my FAMILY would be and their needs – – requiring something that you need … in the line of strength and to develop more FAITH in how I would be able to use those special talents and to use them to the best of my ability.
In other words… “We are here to LIVE and LEARN” – – do that and someday – – better things will come along for all!
So…looking back…I think that I have done most of what I was suppose to do – and – I am still learning – – so that I can always do somethings a little better – – than the day…before!
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAYE… in California – and many more…and celebrate all week – – that is the best way to have a BIRTHDAY!”
Also… sending special BLESSINGS from our CREATOR – – that all is well with you and your FAMILY – – now and forever! D.V.
