“Just Some of my favorite old pictures”
This is a favorite old picture because… WHO in the world would not take notice of a bird sitting on your head…
especially… after just having spent the night with the Grandchildren and their friends for a late FUN TIME Night of games and story telling and all the things that little young girls like to do… just for FUN!
This is a favorite picture because… I remember this occasion so very well…
When SCHOOL let out and I was walking with others on Linton Avenue leaving Perpetual Help School… there was a man with his camera and stuff set up on the lawn where we were heading for home.
Back then I was nosy and some of the girls were wondering what this man was doing… so asking …he told us we could have our picture taken and he would see to it, that our parents would receive it.
This was also during the WWII years and people were NOT spending their money foolishly… and this man did not ask for any money…so there I am!
As a little kid… never thought about this picture taking, but one day this person showed up at our door.
When he pulled out the photos…my Mother thought that they terrific and paid for them…
Sometimes… some things just have a way of working out… just fine!
This Photo of me and my brother Tommy… was one that I always like as it shows the way I was always ready to start dancing around.
There was only the radio back in these times, and some of the music was just exactly what my feet would like to start dancing around to.
We also had many records to put on the record player… just so that we had good music that we all liked… as my Mother was a terrific dancer too!
This photo of me… is when I was being taken care during the weeks that my Mother would be in the Hospital have another little brother for me to play with.
I always did like a rocking chair and a doll to hold… so easy to please and just as good as I could be… seems that I was pleased with just living.
This is the best of photos, since I was just eight months old… and on the back of this photo, my Mother wrote all of the things that I could do.
I am guessing that when you are the first child in the family, the parents have plenty of time… just to devote to the baby.
With the parents always talking to me, and taking me places… seems that all I needed to do … was listen, and just start following all of the clues set before me…
How else do you get the hang of living well, accomplished… guess that is why we are given those five (5) senses … touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste .
They sure do come in handy … when you are learning… just like I have been learning for all of these years… and as, I have been… and have had time to enjoy!
