Aug 31st Mr. and Mrs. Thomas F. Brady – my GRAND-PARENTS

A “PICTURE” is worth a thousand words – – and… am I … ever so glad… that these PHOTOS were preserved over all of these years – – and of all the many photos that may have been taken and even some of the older brothers in the BRADY FAMILY – – may have been collected and kept – – but that which I am most grateful for… is having these of my GRAND-PARENTS – – and these young “Grand-Parents” to be…were saved by my MOTHER- to-be and she was the last and the thirtieth child in the BRADY FAMILY!

I can not tell the age of my GRAND-PARENTS in the above PHOTOS – – but they do look fairly young and in very good health for two immigrants coming on different ships and in different years… to AMERICA. On the left is ANNE E. Smart BRADY – – my GRAND-MOTHER to be – – and she did have thirteen children – – and the last of her children was to be “my MOTHER, Marie.”

May 8th “Live LIFE – LOVE – TODAY – FOREVER”

1920 – Notice long hair and very long skirts… Click on to enlarge.

This PHOTO – – has a lot to tell us…. in the center is my GRANDMA, “ANNE E. SMART BRADY” – – and in her younger days – – as she did live to be in her 80’s! Another thing about this PHOTO is that it is the oldest of any of my “GRANDMA ANNE” – as there are several in her older and more worn out looking days… considering she only had thirteen (13) children – – and the last of her children to be born in 1900 – – and of course you know who that was… you see her… in the above PHOTO – – and we had a hard time getting the image to appear – – as best as we could – – standing on the right side of the PHOTO – – is my MOTHER – to – be “MARIE” – – and she sure does look so “HAPPY” – – must have been “MOTHER’s DAY” – – when the photo was taken.

There is one “LESSON” in LIFE – – that I just keep forgetting – – whatever I say – something “too” positive or negative – – I need to sit on the fence – just looking through my gallery of photos – and found two (2) other – – old photos – – these are are the youngest of “Miss ANNE E. SMART” – – and another – – so …….

Here is the “Mr. and Mrs. Thomas F. Brady” – – My Mother’s MOTHER and FATHER – – and when they were married – – and – all of the time – that they were married – — and – all of the time – that they were married – – ANNE’s MOTHER came to live with them! — This must have truly been a very blessed FAMILY – – as just – – how many young men – – do you know – that will

“WELCOME” the “MOTHER – in- LAW” – to be a permanent FAMILY member – – and – – they must have had a very happy relationship – – as they all lived long lives – – and in to their 70’s and 80’s – – something to think about???

Inquiring Minds…want to know – – so if you are… up to date … reading the BIBLE – – you will find that the “Fifth Commandment” (the 5th) gives a promise – – – truly LOVE and Respect your PARENTS – – and you will receive a long LIFE! If you can do that – – You will find that you will LOVE and be CONTENT with your PATH here on earth – – finding enjoyment in all of the plans our CREATOR has for you! “Moderation – in everything – – – is the “KEY” WORD!”

This is the spot – – for me to proclaim to the ALMIGHTY – – – how grateful and thankful – – that I am – – for all of the tremendous “GIFTS” – – that – – HE has given to me!

Looking at the above PHOTO – – can you see all the LOVE of LIFE – – that your eyes are taking in… millions of anything you could have – – could not buy – – all the LOVE surrounding me… – – as you can see by the card that I am holding… It is… MOTHER’s DAY – – – – and this is forever – – – one of the GIFTS on the TOP of my THANK YOU YAHWEH – lists – – this is the memory that I most cherish!

Evidently… these wonderful “GIFTS” started generations and generations – – long before anyone ever thought about – – who along our lines of marriages and children to follow – – will find – – that by reading the TRUTH and WORD – – just to be a “TRUE BELIEVER” – – when you find that narrow path less traveled – – the reward will be so… great! So.. in the above PHOTOS and lots of others on this site – – everyone did their part – – and I hope to pass this info on to those that follow me – – and in hopes that all enjoy – – all… just as I have enjoyed – – keeping the memory – – in my heart – – to take with me wherever… and when ever!
