“Last Look at St.Vincent’s PICNIC”

Aug 16th “Last Look at St.Vincent’s PICNIC”

Every one in our FAMILY had great smiles for all of the activity and especially to visit the inside of the “German Saint Vincent Orphanage” – – to visit the apartments of the children living there today – – and then to look at photos of how the same area looked… when I was there… as a little girl.

This is my son, Al and his daughter, Jaime on his right – – and then on Al’s left side in daughter, Alyssa – – and we are still full of big smiles.

Since this PICNIC is taking place … in the back of the Orphanage – – this area was used for the ball field – – that is when I was here in the 1940’s and early 1950’s – – so this shot does give a view of the back side of the laundry – – rest rooms and garage, but at the top of those buildings you can see the tops of the Main building – – which is not often seen.

The next PHOTO is of the girls, my Grand-daughters, ALYSSA and JAIME, and standing in the middle is their mother, JILL – and they sure do take very good photos – – you have to say that the camera likes them – – as they photogenic. – And… more smiles!

How do you like this PHOTO??? That is my Grand-daughter, JAIME… singing with the band. I do not remember the name of this BAND – – but how do you like the extra long “HORN” – – which was used for a couple of the songs and music that was played.

Looking at this PHOTO… seems to me – – that this area – – used to be the “TENNIS COURT” – – and also used for us to play the “VOLLEY BALL” games… that we would play – – way back there in the good “OLE” days.

One thing about taking PHOTOS – – when attending events – – especially – – those that you might have lived and or have older memories of times gone by – – – to look over the old Photos… will bring you up-to-date in memories – – so that when you are just thinking – – “I wonder what happened there and also wonder … what happened to this FRIEND or FAMILY – – you can finally feel that everyone that you used to know – – did make it “GOOD” – – and your mind just seems to rest… with the thought that “all is well” – – everyone has had a very good LIFE!
