Denny and Mary Ellen – taking turns…

Aug 20th Denny and Mary Ellen – taking turns…

Mary Ellen riding her bike…

“WOW” Finally received a bike – that my Daddy had promised – for the longest time – but later is better than never – – – The only reason – – that I say that – that way… is that my DAD had promised to get for me a “pony” ever since I was a real little kid – – and up to this date – – well… I have never received a “pony” – – and of course, I had stop wanting a “pony” for so long – – probably knew that I was never going to get a “pony – – from day one!

As you can see on my face… I am tickled “PINK” to finally have my very own bike! There are only two other girls that I know of – – that also received a bike of their very own. When you have something special in an Orphan Home – – you can be sure that you will soon have a lot more friends – than you did the day before receiving – your new and special item – – – as all would like to have it – – but no one will bring one out – – just for them.

It was nice – – when my DAD had his old “Jalopy” – – without it I guess that I never would have seen this bike? There were also the times when my Dad brought other stuff out to this HOME – – and we would get to share it with all the other kids. The one time I remember in the “SUMMER” – and boy o’boy was it ever FUN – we all had “WATERMELON” – all the KIDS – kept coming back for more and more slices… that was the best time for everybody…

“Well…it looks like I will be just standing here and posing… by the time Mary Ellen gives me the “OKAY” to ride – – I’ll have to turn in for the night, here!” “You know when you have an older, sister – – you feel like – – they must be some kind of a teacher… – did you ever listen to some older – “sister’s” – it seems that they are just born with a whole bunch of “HOW TO DO’s – this and that – that really… do they know more than the next guy???” “I know – that some day I will get to ride this old bike!” If I keep telling myself – someday it will be safe to ride this old bike – but, WHEN???”
