“Remembering My Sisters Kathleen and Eve Karen’s Birthday”

Feb 17th “Remembering My Sisters Kathleen and Eve Karen’s Birthday”

Remembering my Sister, Karen”

“Karen McClarren Scott and BABY…make three”

Is there ever a more perfect picture… than… when you see a new MOM with her very first baby?

This is my little sister… “Karen M. Scott” rocking baby “Christopher M. Scott” when they first lived in Arnold, Missouri.

Looks like… they are both getting some “SUN SHINE” while having a FUN time swinging low and as we all know … that the new born baby “CHRIS” should and will now receive some extra fresh “Sunshine” which is a very good way to get those extra special VITAMINS, too!

“KAREN” sent this PHOTO to me when I was living in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Since I would be coming up to Missouri for VACATION in JULY … and with the whole FAMILY … there were a few things in FLORIDA… that she wanted me to bring to her.

The one and most important item… was a special “swimsuit” and then… some other special surprise items… that she could use in her house, but would be items indicating they were made and or came from Florida!

When you live in “FLORIDA” and on the Coast… bringing items that can be used and or just used to decorate a spot or two… as a little reminder that you had a visitor from Florida… just makes such a good impression … to have these items sitting around… for a show and tell to your friends to see and then hear how the whole story… will finally be one that develops for more fun and games.

After all is said and done… she just wanted to be reminded… that she, too… would be taking a trip down to see me!

“Karen and her son, Chris” are both in Heaven as Karen died just two weeks, before her “50th” Birthday… and her son, CHRIS died on a day… that none of us will ever forget… it was on July 17th, 2015 .

July the 17th… just so happens to be … our “Aunt Irene Riley’s” … Birthday! Just something to think about?

One can not ever forget FAMILY … no matter where you are … no matter what you are doing… we all think about the FAMILY … and always… will hold them in an extra special place in the “HEART” … just because we know… there will be a “DAY” … when we will… all be together in that SPECIAL PLACE … that our CREATOR has reserved… and just for us! D.V.

“and a little more”

Happy Birthday Eve Karen Francesca McClarren Scott!

Just to think this would be your “75th” birthday. And, would like you to know that no matter where one goes when they take leave of this world – all souls are somewhere and you will never ever be forgotten. So, in this electronically age of messages sent – they all will be known by someone who will know someone else and before you know it – all messages of “Love” are received.

You and your life is one that should really be published. I know that – – that could almost be said about anyone – but your life could have been better and should have been much better – if only there would have been people who really cared about the life of another, especially the lives of small children – instead of only their own selfish desires and the love of free money which is the cause of the break down of the family life in America.

As I think back on all of the problems and sorrows – – that we must endure here on EARTH – – for a short time – – that we all will receive a much better place in ETERNITY – – with our CREATOR – – and in that day there will be no more pain and no sorrow – – for all of the “TRUE BELIEVERS” – as we are here only temporarily – – but soon in a place especially prepared by our resurrected SAVIOR!

Almighty Yahweh bless Eve Karen – today – forever and always! D.V.

“February 29th, 2016…”

“The rest of the STORY…. from February of 1946…”

My younger brothers… DENNY and TOMMY and myself were in the German St. Vincent’s Orphan Home…because my Mother needed a place for us to stay… while she went to the hospital … to give birth to our “sisters” …which were ” identical twins”
KATHLEEN and EVE KAREN McClarren.”

Since we each are a year apart in age and each of us was in a different grade in school. I was in the third grade – DENNY was in the second grade – and TOMMY was in the first grade.

Also… in those days, the MOTHER, “Superior of the Orphanage” would visit each class-room… when our report cards were to be given out, and there was a “REWARD SYSTEM” attached to those grades, that you received.

Still…today, when someone does something , that which to me seems to be superior to that which is also expected… I always say…”You deserve a “GOLD STAR” on your report card, because… way back in the day – when I was a kid – we received “fifteen cents”… for each GOLD STAR!”

So the “GOLD STAR” was given for grades 95 to 100 – – and a “SILVER STAR” worth ten cents was given for grades 90 to 94 – – and the STARS… RED and BLUE were worth five cents and for the grades 80 to 89.

So… if you could … you did put forth that extra effort… to earn a few nickels and dimes.

Another occasion…from time to time…”MOTHER ERENTTRUDE ALTHOEFER” (Sister of Christian Charity) would be making the rounds to the classrooms and she would enter that classroom with someone at her side, that would set up a table with “PRIZES” and these were for special recognition.

So this is the rest of the “STORY” about the picture frame and picture of that little girl on her knees and those two “ANGELS” titled “HER PRAYER” … which, when I first saw that on the display table… wanted it, for my baby sister, Karen!

During the HOLIDAYS… my little brother, TOMMY was taken to each classroom to recite… “Twas the NIGHT before CHRISTMAS”… in that part of his make-up and that would be… from the day he was born… he had that talent of being an “ENTERTAINER” … in that he knows the words of everything and if singing or reciting something… he is on “STAGE” … hands and face and every movement is just full of joy with added flair.

AT that time, “TOMMY” had been entertaining everyone and in those days… it was like seeing a “LIVE STAGE SHOW”… so “TOMMY” was allowed to have first pick of all those items that were to be given out as trophies.

Since… I had spited the “HER PRAYER” … knew TOMMY could pick that as his “PRIZE” – I ask him to select that “PRIZE” … and who received prizes after that … who remembers … I was just so happy… that we had the best of gifts … so that we could give to our MOTHER… when she would come out to see us on “VISITING SUNDAY” … an extra “special gift” to hang on the wall … over and above our baby Karen’s crib!

To have a “Guardian ANGEL” is what I grew up with, and we always said the “GUARDIAN Angel” prayer in our morning and night time prayers, and I feel it is very important to remember… that as we go through LIFE… we need guidance and the ALMIGHTY will send that guidance, if we will… but, only “Ask.”

Just today was reading “MATT 18:10” – “for I say unto you… that in heaven their “ANGELS” do always… behold the face of my FATHER, who is in heaven.”

So… with that verse from the “BIBLE”… I believe that the Almighty is sending us HELP … if only… we will ask? D.V.
