“Sunday Visiting Day – Take Some Family Pictures”
“The 24th of January is DENNY, Jr.’s Birthday”
Can you guess just how many years back, maybe 1947 or 1948? Again on a “Visiting Sunday” and this is the front stairs to the entrance of the “German St.Vincent Orphanage” and also before the change, as you will see in a couple of years later.
Sitting in front is DENNY, Jr., and his BIRTHDAY is coming up, on the 24th of January – which is why we are wearing coats for these pictures. So next and sitting is our MOTHER, and the “topper to the FUN and GAMES” is our youngest brother, TOMMY, letting us know, he will entertain us with comedy, as he bounces around on the top, for us. Of course that is “ME” standing on the steps, the eldest just has to act like she knows, how to keep out of trouble.
Now that I look at this PHOTO, Tommy doing his “Comedy ACT” on the highest part of the steps, must have been a premonition of his “FUTURE” as he did enlist in the ARMY Paratroopers and was stationed in GERMANY. Do we have ways of knowing, maybe a direction in LIFE that we may be taking later on, in LIFE?
It sure is difficult to smile for a PHOTO, when the “SUN” is so strong also, right into your eyes! “DADDY’s” head “shadow” is in the PHOTO, so you know this is a direct hit on the eyes!
“Looks like “TOMMY” is using the “PEACE” sign, long before it became popular with “President Nixon” using it on his flights all around AMERICA! TOMMY would have been a terrific stand-up “COMIC” on stage!
Looking at this PHOTO, it just came into my thoughts, we are getting closer to the road in front of the ORPHANAGE. “Did we even think about our leaving the ORPHANAGE, and just going home, with our parents?”
“Would that have been a “HOT” story back in the “1940’s that, the “PARENTS would dare to take their children home, when pretending, that they were only taking PHOTOS of their children, on the grounds of the ORPHANAGE?” “WOW” “What a terrific story – why didn’t I think of suggesting that to my Parents, when the opportunity was right there!
Sometimes, I can really dream up different ways of having lived my LIFE always so much good material to work with!
“WHAT do “you” the “READER” think, about that question?”
