“Happy Birthday” – – “AUNT Irene Riley~!”
This is “Aunt Irene” and this is in her backyard. And the most important part of this PHOTO – – is little ole ME!
This PHOTO with the two of us is probably on an important day – – like my birthday or maybe …. a big birth date for Aunt Irene – – because if I did the “MATH” half way right – – “Aunt Irene is the big (50) – – and little ole “Mary Ellen is only two (2) years of age.
Sure looks like Aunt Irene is afraid that I might get hurt – – and or even fall down – – but if I know myself – – I’m betting that – – even as still as I am standing – – “I could run rings around good ole Aunt Irene!”
My Aunt Irene just loved to sew – – as she was always making something – – you name it… she could sew it up in no time at all. So… it was especially nice for me to be a girl – – as… Aunt Irene was always making a nice “Pinafore” for me – – and any other dress – – even when it came time for me to graduate from GRADE SCHOOL.
Since my MOTHER had a special dress that she wanted for me – – for graduation – material and the whole nine yards… – she gave Irene – her sister the picture of what – – she had in mind for me – – and my Aunt worked from a photo – – and “lucky me” – – my graduation dress … was made by “IRENE!”
As… TIME has a way of flying by – – I am LUCKY to have lots of memories – – – and so many include my Aunt Irene! so……….”HAPPY BIRTHDAY……………AUNT IRENE…….
