“These are the very Best PICTURES…taken”

“Looks like…  I am waiting on the front porch steps for the arrival of my MOM … as she is bringing my brand new baby brother Denny … home from the hospital.

This is, one of my favorite pictures and best of times for me… as the first child in the family, I get to be  informed and dressed to the hilt… even have my bracelets on… and in those days… my long stockings!

You get an idea of what I am talking about, when you take a closer look at the third photo on this page.

Mama is making sure that all three of us are in this picture… and gives me a chance to  put my “two cents’ worth” of looks of an “OKAY” making sure that  MOMMA is  holding… my baby brother Denny just right… so that his face can be seen and everything is just perfect!

In the second picture… MOM is making sure we see little baby Denny’s face… because … to see,  “who is in the picture” is the most important thing about taking pictures!

This looks like maybe you… the new born baby,  “Denny’s”… “first trip”  from the hospital to home!

At that time, over eighty years  ago, when this picture was taken,  the hospital  would keep the Mothers’ in the hospital for at least two  full weeks  and sometimes three weeks… but,  that is not the case today.

That’s Mom’s writing on the  top of this photo.

These photos were taken  on the day baby, Denny came home from the hospital.

“First “Outings and Pictures” of our new addition to the Family is our extra special little, Denny H. McClarren Jr., himself”

So, today… Denny is 83 and I am 84. Looks like we are playing the game of life in growing older,  but better each year! 

Thank you,  Almighty Yahweh… for  always blessing  our “Family” with  all of Your extra special  and perpetual care,  that we have received all of these  wonderful years… for each of us… to be here on Earth… to do that which You  directed for us to do… according to all that which… 

I have read in the Bible… Psalm 139…as we all, are so grateful and thankful  for your help at all of those times, we were in need … and giving us the opportunity to pass on to others, that special message …that we hope all of us… will share here  NOW and  – forever! Amen.
