“My future GRANDMA – also AUNT IRENE”

Jul 14th “My future GRANDMA – also AUNT IRENE”

How’s this old Photo – – for going way back in “TIME – the old memory lane!” This is early 1900’s – as “AUNT Irene” on the right – does have a much younger face – – so much younger than so many of the PHOTOS – – that I have of her.

On the left… is “Anne E. Smart Brady” – -and she did have thirteen (13) children – – and my Mother to be… “MARIE” was the number 13 – – and the last!

Without looking up the exact dates – – but using a foggy memory – – seems that the above Photo looks like ANNE and IRENE are happy about something – – and here are the simple facts of the TIMES. Marie was born in 1900 and is (15) fifteen years younger than her older sister IRENE – – the only two girls to survive. MARIE – – my future MOTHER to be – – will only be getting married in 1935 – – and IRENE will be married NOW or very soon – – because she will be having her one and only baby boy in 1910 – – so it is very possible that on this PHOTO… Irene has been married some years and is sharing the “GOOD NEWS!”

So… I LOVE for the person – – who will be celebrating a “BIRTHDAY” – – enjoy the fact that you are having a BIRTHDAY – – and the best decision to make is to celebrate at least – a whole week! – The idea is… that you gradually get into the feel of another “YEAR” that of getting “OLDER…” – but so much “WISER” – – and by doing so – – “YOU will also feel as YOUNG as your HEART inspires and keeps you … well motivated!”

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY… AUNT IRENE!”
