“DENNY Jr. in OHIO”
This photo is taken of DENNY McClarren JR – – in Circleville, OHIO – on May 28th, 1942!
Grandma Leah McClarren …had this flower garden – – and just to show off all of her flowers and how well they were doing – – looks like the flowers were as tall as DENNY JR – – and some of the flowers were even taller.
One thing about CIRCLEVILLE is – that it is the City and County Seat of Pickaway County – – – and also well known for the “PUMPKIN FESTIVAL” – – and that was proved to me …when we would go to OHIO every year – – as GRANDMA Leah McClarren was the best of the “PUMPKIN PIE BAKERS” – – – on one of our visits – – – she gave us – one of her pies to take home with us – – and that pie plate she baked that “PIE” in – was my MOTHER’s – – and when she passed on… well… now it belongs to me – and we always bake the “PUMPKIN PIE” in it – – and always receive rave reviews!
Share your thoughts about “OHIO” – – and – – whatever you like about making “PUMPKIN PIES” – – as the world always like new and interesting baking ideas???

“Happy Birthday Denny Jr.”
January 24th is coming up and little Denny Jr., will soon be 76. Sure wish that there was a way to fix old pictures – this one is at least 76 years old and I am older and I just do not know – how to fix -up all the old stuff – so that it would look glamorous? There are ways to do all this fixing up of our old bodies and even our old stuff – but I have not found the way to do it and then – the eyes do not want to help out with staying focused on old stuff fix-up information – when there are so many more important things to do!
I was looking for one of the pictures – that are somewhere of Denny Jr., in the baby bed – – just for and older picture and a very young – almost new born baby? The idea was old and new all in the same photo.
This photo was taken in the backyard of our Aunt Irene Riley – on Ashland Avenue at this time The idea of taking photos with a “BOX CAMERA” – way back then – the game of taking photos was so new to most people – and I’ll bet not many people took the time to read the instructions of how to focus – and how to place people so that the “BRIGHT SUN” was not making more light than you needed – and it sure would help if you were not aiming the camera into the strong light and the people in the picture – well what can you say – second guessing – you will end up p paying for lots of pictures that just will not turn out – not as you were expecting – and then – the developing of the film – just not a good match???
(Click on the photo – the larger size – helps to see little Denny’s face better! Denny has the best shade of red hair – it’s terrific!)
