“Daddy’s Birthday is Coming Up, February 2nd”
So many writer’s start their story at the beginning, but… this time I am starting in the reverse order… just for a little something different.
This is a picture of our Daddy, Denny H. McClarren Sr., and to celebrate his birthday which will be on the “Second of February” and I wanted to start out with our Daddy and the youngest child with Daddy … for our first memory photo.
This is Daddy holding baby, “Tommy” and of course ME…aka “Motorcycle Mama” just as ready as I can be to get going … flying all the way …up and down on the sidewalk… in a hurry … going no where fast!
This a new move for us… to the County… a very nice home in Pine Lawn. You can tell that these are all new houses… the street is so clean… everything so spick and span… and when “Daddy Dear” takes his heavy foot… off the tire of my bike…I’ll be off …in a flash!
This is a good photo of “Daddy”…he is young and in very good shape, as he has been in the “Army for three “two” year stents and did his duty in the Philippines.
In the arms of “Daddy” is our baby brother, little “Denny Jr.”…and this photo is being taken on one of our many visits to visit our “Aunt Irene Brady Riley” when she was living on Ashland Avenue in North Saint Louis… where so many of our relatives including lots of cousins lived.
This is “Daddy” and with ME holding my little “Doll” also, in the backyard of our Aunt Irene… as we made so many visits to her house when we were small.
I was trying to tell if this photo was taken on the same day as the photo of “Denny Jr.” in the above…but as you can see… I am too young to remember…I am just “Lucky” to have all of these old photos… and they are still in pretty good shape.
One thing that caught my eye… in looking at these ole photos… the grass in cut and everything looks so clean…almost as if no one lives at these homes… they are just there for the pleasure of those that would want to take pictures… they will always have a good looking background.
Wish I could say that about some pictures that were taken lately… guess we are all too old to be doing all of that un-necessary and very hard work!
“Just an early “Happy Birthday Daddy” memory!”
