“75 + 76 + 77 = 228” | Grandma’s Stories

Feb 9th “75 + 76 + 77 = 228”

When you add the ages of these “young” oldies – they average 76 years of age. They sure do look good – it must be – because they are so active – like flying up and down the slide! Sure looks like they have taken possession of the slide – there are no other boys and girls trying to get in – and on this slide – – for – all of the “FUN” – – that these three are having!

I remember – that when these three would get together – and there might be a few others around – that these three would have so much funny stuff to talk about that the laughter in the room – was so loud – and as they would continue to carry on – one of them trying to out do the other – – you could see the ceiling slowing rising a couple feet – – there is something about “contagious laughter” – – that without and hardly – a word – everybody – is getting to feel like this is the best day – that they ever had – – since “Laughter is GOOD MEDICINE!” *****

Do you like numbers?? There is another number associated with the three in the above photo! When you are in the Orphanage – you are assigned a number – whatever belongs to you – must be stamped and or with indelible ink be marked – so that what is your’s – will always be yours and – I am guessing that – you should be able to – depend on receiving your own clothes – but that does not always work – as I personally have a story about that!

Once – you have been given – – your “NUMBER” – – you and everybody knows “YOU” by your “NUMBER” – – as the NUNS would only call “YOU” by your number! So, TOM was number 79 – and DENNY number 78 and lucky me – my number was 91. Through the years – that I was there – and from hearing so many called by their number – there are a lot of the girls and only one boy – whose “NUMBERS” are still floating around in my brain??? ***** “HAPPY BIRTHDAY ***** HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM” *****
