“German St.Vincent Orphanage PICNIC – 2015”
If you were asked… “Where and WHAT were you doing a YEAR… ago?”
The answer that most people would give… “I have no idea… WHAT I was doing just yesterday – – and YOU want to know “WHERE” I was a year…. ago?” “You have to be out of your mind!”
So… while you are thinking back – – about where you where – – LOOK at where I was. That is me in the blue dress and surrounded by my GRAND-DAUGHTERS… ALYSSA is sitting next to me – – and JAIME is standing behind Alyssa – and their MOTHER, JILL is standing behind me.
“St. Vincent Home”… had a very generous sponsor for this get-to-gather PICNIC… for previous ALUMNI and their FAMILY – – a wonderful BAR-b-QUE dinner – – which also included dessert – – and to even have “seconds” if … you would have the room for more to eat! Just take a look at he plate of food that was brought to me… more than I could eat all in one sitting – – as I am the type that likes the desserts – – and will save the food for a little later time – – as I am a very slow eater – – – and for this PICNIC – – there were lots of other things to do – – besides just sit and eat.
So… just a reminder to other “ALUMNI” – – if you were also attending this PICNIC … and have PHOTOS – – be sure to contact me – – so we can share stories with PHOTOS – – and even some of the good old days at “St. VINCENT” – – since as the years go by – – some times some good old things – – that we wanted to remember – – have been forgotten – – but to hear about it again – – just might be a very good thing – – reminiscing the “GOOD OLE DAYS!”

Hi Grandma!
Yesterday was a lot of fun visiting your old stomping grounds and seeing Tommy, his family and even your old friends! It was interesting hearing all the alumni’s stories as they were reminiscing during the tour of the place.
Most of all, it made me feel very blessed and filled with gratitude to belong to such a beautiful family. I always cherish all of our “get togethers” and time spent laughing and enjoying each other’s love and light~
I also especially appreciated you printing out photos of you at the orphanage as a child to share with us. (Grammy asked if we could pick her out from a photo of a classroom full of girls, and as I scanned the photo, I picked out my Grammy right away!! She still has the same look after all these years
and plus I recognized my own face in hers!)
I am very grateful for my Grandma! I love you Grammy!! What an uplifting day this was…
Cheers to honoring the past, and even more importantly GUARDING THE PRESENT MOMENT- right “NOW” is all that is, all that ever has been and ALL that ever will BE. This moment is what creates the ripple effect out into the vast interconnected universe so it is wise to be AWARE of this power THIS MOMENT has…
Today I will be meditating and giving thanks to the Universe~ feeling the resonating GOD within me FLOURISH ABUNDANTLY with JOY, LOVE and LIGHT which through my conscious being I will echo back into the universe for ALL ETERNITY. <3
Thank you & God Bless ALL now & always~
XOXO Love, Alyssa XOXO
