“Happy Birthday… my LOVER” | Grandma’s Stories

Jul 31st “Happy Birthday… my LOVER”

August 1st… is a very “good day” for a BIRTHDAY!

Just have to post this favorite PHOTO of “Lee and ME” and the “Ben Burroughs’ Sketches” – “My LOVER”… as seen in the below PHOTO – – It is LOVE in WORDS and PHOTO – – and only the Almighty Creator of LOVE – – could have seen to it – – that this photo was taken when it was – – and then for me to find in the NEWSPAPER – – the exact words to frame with the ‘one and only photo of LOVE’ – – for me to have as a remembrance of my LOVE!”

When I read these words… there is one place in the BIBLE … that – – I an guessing that “Ben Burroughs” may have taken some time to read – – for the usage of the colorful descriptive words – – make you see everything in such a more heavenly scale – – almost takes you into the “Dream Land of LOVE” – – where all LOVERS meet – – some time…

In this PHOTO is our son… little Lee, Jr. – – and of course there is something he wants – – and to have to wait – – looks like that is something he does not want to do.

Also, take a look at the dress – – that I made before Lee was born – – and it still fits. – – This is another dress … that I made requiring six (6 ) yards of material – – looks like at the time – – I liked dresses with lots of skirt material flying around.

Of course – – every photo has another story – – and the extra story is…. Lee was smoking a cigarette… and all of a sudden – – some emergency occurred – – Lee hands the cigarette to me – – saying just hold this a minute – – runs off – – and as a non-smoker – – I am holding this cigarette – – and not as careful as I should be with this same dress on – – an ash drops on the skirt area – – and of course a nice fire hole – – but when everything was back to normal – – I had enough material to splice into the area of the skirt – – and to this day you would not be able to find the burn hole area.

It does pay to make your own clothes – – you always have enough material to make emergency mending a snap – – and you hang on to those things you made – – for longer periods of time – – “A ‘work of your own’ – – makes you feel good – – to see your own creations – – that still look so good!” DV
