This PHOTO is in Saint Louis, Missouri – –

On the left is Helen Brady – – and this is her home on Fair Avenue – – and this is at the intersection of Lexington – – in the year 1935.

The focus of this PHOTO is on the “DOG” – – can you guess what the “DOG’s” name is……. – – Everybody is admiring “MICKEY MOUSE” – – so naturally – – who ever is taking this photo – – certainly did not think that – – just maybe – – in a hundred years from then – – someday some one – – might want to see the face of the adults – – especially – and since the main person in this photo – – is the young lady on the right side of this photo – – “MARIE BRADY” – – who in the future wail… be my MOTHER!

That is correct – – that very good looking and young lady – – on the back of this PHOTO wrote… “This is how skinning and flat – – I was then!” So …since so many of these old photos – – do not have information as to “WHO” is in the photo – – I sure am glad that my MOTHER – – after having been married in 1936 and then having me – – in 1937 – and each thereafter – – another child – – as that was the thing to do – back – then – – the rules of being married and having children has completely changed today- – but one thing for sure – – and I am so glad to have the FAMILY that I have – – I just cannot even – – imagine any other type of FAMILY – – that would be better!

After having six children – – including a set of twin girls – – and every child … weighting in – – of at least “eight and a half pounds” – – it is no wonder that – – a woman will not look like she did – – in those days when young and beautiful and in the BEST of physical shape! – – So – – after several years – – and looking through old photos – – just had to write that message – – that – there was a day – – once upon a time – – as to having had… the best of of shape!

NOW… back to the PHOTO – – the little girl – – guessing that she – – also is a cousin – – since she is in lots of these old photos – – – her name is “BOOTS MORRISON” – – and since so many of the BRADY FAMILY and COUSINS – – live on FAIR AVENUE – – these were days when my MOTHER – to – be – – in those days – – did visit with lots of the FAMILY – – and these were the days – when most of the people did a whole lot of walking – – as they all surrounded the “FAIR GROUND PARK” – and there are quite a few old PHOTOS – – of FAMILY and FRIENDS – – and all taken in and around the PARK!

Just thinking…. the more one will WALK – – the better their PERSONAL shape. I know that to be true – – as – I also walked all around the NORTH SAINT LOUIS area – – – and when doing – – looked like “super woman!”
