“From Day to DAY, We are Learning”

Apr 26th “From Day to DAY, We are Learning”

“We are getting ready!”

Of all the places to WORK…

The above photo shows a small area of the BAKERY… and that is Sister Augustella, the one NUN that could be called , the BEST of NUNS, as everyone enjoyed working for and with her… and would WORK , 24/7… if that was a choice.

This photo is for the … Anniversary Edition … I would have to check the correct year … where I have an old copy, and I am so glad to have this once in a LIFE-TIME EDITION… all of the old photos… from those years when I was there… which – just go to show… how things were… way back and when!

Sister Augustella would have a large “laundry size” basket, just full of the treats… that we would get at “RECESS TIME” – in the morning and afternoon RECESS times – and that would be a full basket for the GIRL’s side and also a full basket for the BOY”s side.

That was a real treat for each of us to be able to get something so extra sweet!

We did not go to the BAKERY, as you see in this photo, as Sister Augustella and her workers were busy “baking” and there was no room for interruptions – as you can see… all those loaves of bread!

Back then… when I was the size of some of those girls in this photo line… I would work in the BAKERY – and one of the jobs that I had… was putting those loaves of bread in the bread slicer.

Then … one or two girls would spread each slice of bread with “HOME-made grape jam”… which was also from the grape vineyard on the Orphanage grounds – and we also had “HOME-made Apple-butter” – from the green apple trees… also growing on the Orphanage grounds.

When you think back… these jobs that we had when we were very young…were very good training for all of the things that you may consider doing when you would be older and had left the Orphanage – as we all need to work at some point in our LIFE.

What better way is there … than for young children to learn how to develop skills in a variety occupations being a self-assured person so as to get an idea of the types of work, which would be of a benefit in more ways than, one can think of – the motivation factor is in the determining just what natural talents do I have that will provide the exact “road” in LIFE to pursue!

When it comes to this time of the year… a Monthly Holiday TIME… my having had the chance to work in the BAKERY with, and for Sister Augustella … has been of a great benefit to me, as I have such good memories of getting ready for these HOLIDAYS, and I sure do enjoy telling everyone how and why I do what I do, since everyday of my LIFE…seems… that each and every day was and of a special learning lesson, just for the next time … each day and for every year to follow!
