Sep 24th “Flappers Days…High Fashion…”

“How do you like this photo?

This photo includes  my MOTHER – at least twenty years before I was ever a thought… but that is Marie Brady in the middle of the three girls … sitting on the top step. This photo is old… and I am Lucky to even have… photo restoring  – well – that is not something that I  am even  …  oh well …  just not good at trying to do. There would be a great possibility that only ashes would be left – when I got to where I would be expecting a miracle!

All the girls are very good looking…they are all dressed to go  somewhere.  And  – of course…I’m guessing …that back in the day … that this was taken – –  girls wore… black stockings.   “Do I sound like FORD – when he offered his cars in any color –  that you would like… as long as you ordered the vehicle in BLACK!”

Now… that I give another thought to the above photo… I see that my MOTHER is wearing “PEARLS” – a favorite of her’s – – and would you believe that I still have some  of her “PEARLS” – – they are good and last forever.

So… on second thought… since the girls are all dressed to the  10th degree… and they are all on the front steps to one of their homes … and my MOTHER is in the center of the group… looks like they are celebrating my Mother’s   BIRTHDAY on the 25th of SEPTEMBER!  When you are invited to a  “BIRTHDAY PARTY”  – you get dressed as nice as  you can… everyone who is invited are all friends… and each enjoys being with all the others… and at some  point in the festivities… just to remember this special occasion… there is a call for a “PHOTO” to be taken  –  – just so in another …hundred years from  “NOW” – – someone will resurrect the old  “PHOTO”  – – and show the whole wide world… just how lovely their MOTHER was on one her BIRTHDAYS… so very many years ago.
