Jul 19th “Today, Remembering Important Events of the Family”

“BIRTHDAY for Aunt Irene Brady Riley – coming soon”

Have to find PHOTOS of “Aunt Irene BRADY RILEY” for a remembrance of her “BIRTHDAY” – – as she did and always remembered… to send cards to everyone in the FAMILY – –

And as I remember… even to each and every “NEW ADDITION” as they came along.

It does make one feel good to receive a “BIRTHDAY Greeting CARD” – – and since “Aunt Irene” is no longer here on EARTH – – perhaps this message… on the computer can transcend into the “realm” of those places – – for each of us – – into the everlasting Eternity – that which… we all look forward to going to… and with great expectations.

“Marie Brady and big sister, Irene”

“How do you like this PHOTO – young girls – MARIE BRADY is thirteen years old and standing on the right – and she looks like a real “BAKER” of good desserts in her “BAKER’s HAT” – which makes young “Marie” look real cute.” The year for this

photo is 1913 – – and standing on the left side of this photo – is MARIE’s older sister, IRENE.

In the “BRADY FAMILY” – there was a relative that enjoyed betting on the horses – – I can not remember if he was still in IRELAND or not – but just before “IRENE” was to be born – this relative made a terrific WIN at the RACE—TRACK – and so … since he was so “LUCKY” – Mr. and Mrs. Brady decided to name the new baby girl – that “LUCKY WINNING HORSE NAME” – you guessed it – it was “IRENE!”

So… in case anyone was wondering why our “AUNT IRENE RILEY” was always so “LUCKY” – now you know, too!

Also… in this photo the “LADY” in the middle – is a cousin and this is where Marie and Irene are for this weekend – guess they are helping her and the children … which could be her’s and or even some other relative visiting – these details I do not know?

This PHOTO is of “IRENE BRADY-RILEY” – now married to “William B. RILEY” – and “IRENE” is standing on the left. In the center is an IRISH cousin – – even to-day – I would recognize her voice – as she had a very fresh and strong “IRISH BROGUE” – and … I did like listening to the way she would talk with us kids…as we did visit at their home quite often … when I was very young.

On the right side, in this photo – – is “MARIE BRADY” – – and not as yet married – as she was designated to be the care taker of the parents… when the time would come – something different in this family – as even Bishop Burns from the HOLY NAME CHURCH came to the “BRADY HOME” – so many times, trying to persuade the family to let her… young, “Marie Brady” become a NUN in the Catholic Church.

Years much later… my “Aunt IRENE” would tell me … that I was to go into the Convent – to be a NUN – since my MOTHER was not allowed to go into the CONVENT – but – as circumstances were – I felt – that it was my duty to stay with my MOTHER and help her – I just did not have a strong feeling to be a NUN.

In LIFE… there is a “PLAN” for each of us – the only thing is – we just do not know exactly what that “PLAN” is for each of us – and with our free choice, to do things in LIFE – there is the possibility – that we could choose to take… the wrong road.

Tomorrow… we will find photos – that show what is going on in the “BRADY FAMILY – “FOLK TALE or SAGA” – every FAMILY has stories – that are forgotten – just because no one took the time to write anything down – and or did not care enough, and or very much about their FAMILY .

“OH” but… I am the nosey one… to look into the past and try to find the answers… if only…I can!

I like my FAMILY … I should say that… I Love my family!

ALSO… and I am thinking that… everyone should have some records of their own basic roots – where they came from – where were they – what did they do – and what about the next generation?

Keep good records … as to whom … who will know – if at least someone – does not take the precious TIME to record some important events… with photos??? DV
