1989 - It was a rough summer. Irene loved her vacation but did have health issues for a few days during this visit. This is along the Marginal Way an annual walk. It was vacations by the water that made her happy. Even when visiting family in later years on Long Island, she and Eddie went to the water for the reunion with them.

January 5, 1981- A welcome back party for Irene at PS 204. Irene had been out and in the hospital for surgery from November through the holidays. We were all so happy she returned we threw her a surprise party after school. Cider champagne, crackers and a choice of cakes. (Of course she aimed for the chocolate.)The ladies were Josephine, Rosemary, Adi, Saralee,Phyllis, Ceil,Linda S. Linda P and Shirley. Two couldn't be there in person. but they were there in spirit.

For those who didn't think Irene was sentimental. This photo was the cover from a handmade gift made for her that she kept over 35 years from her teaching days. It was found in a box of treasured cards, letters and well wishes from her colleagues and friends in Brooklyn.

This photo was taken by NCL in 2007 when Irene went on the Norwegian Spirit cruise with OLHC. She loved being on the water, having dinner served and being with the church group. She said the Carnival Line ship's crew was wonderful and she loved having photos taken with everyone.

1990- Irene and Eddie's most favorite spot in Ogunquit was right off their cottage on the Ogunquit River. It had a natural path to cross from the cottage to the sands of Ogunquit Beach on the other side. Each day the river would empty at low tide and they would walk across the riverbed to the beach for a swim and sun bathing.Of course they always timed coming back before high tide because Eddie could not row a boat! They only made the mistake of staying too long just once in all the years they vacationed in Maine.

1984 - Odiorne State Park in Portsmouth NH (just a few minutes ride from Prescott Park and of course the shopping draw of Kittery Maine.) The beautiful flowers of Prescott Park were the attraction there and of course Odiorne's attraction was the view. Irene and Eddie drove to NH to visit just one day each summer, but they spent most of their vacation time on Route 1 exploring Maine.

Irene always hoping to travel to far away places. Always renewed her passports. She did get to fly to Europe and joined her church on a cruise to the Islands.
Photos taken : August 23, 1962, June 17, 1997 and the last photo January 25, 2008. By next renewal date January 2018 Irene wasn't feeling up to going beyond her local travels in the neighborhood, but she had some good church friends who took her places when she could no longer drive.

1987- On the road to Kennebunkport. The Bush home in the background. If they went on that road and into Kennebunk, and Kennebunkport once they must have gone at least 50 times in all the summers they went to Maine. Not once did they run into the Bush family, but the ride was great and it always meant either shopping or dinner out, sometimes both!

1990-They had to go to Maine a little later in that summer and Irene said It was a little cooler for that trip. It didn't matter they had daily outings and even though some days at the water were chilly they had cover ups to keep them warm. They still found places to visit both old and new.

1981- Hampton Bays- Irene reading the paper in a quiet space away from the house, (mostly because there was no big porch.) However, the roaming photographer could find her wherever she was. (She was pleased he didn't disturb her, in fact she said she didn't even know he had taken that until the fall when the film was finally developed.)

Irene and Eddie didn't have Hugh on this 1985 walk along the rocky southern Coastline of Maine, so they took turns taking photos of each other sitting on the rocks. They truly loved Maine and the Coastal towns. Irene said they waited too long to get the film developed, so the photos didn't come out the way they had hoped, but they kept them as memories just the same.

Most people didn't know that along with Lord And Taylor's in Manhattan and Manhasset, Irene loved shopping in Maine. She used to say it was almost as relaxing as sitting near the water up there, for no matter how far she traveled to shop in Maine, she was always within eyesight of the Ocean. She used to bring a list with her on vacation, shop for birthdays and Christmas holidays, even help Vinnie and Eddie shop for their employees.

Irene loved eating out when in Maine, If one looks at the dining places in Maine she frequented, she sometimes had a pattern: First "The Whistling Oyster" and then "The Lively Lobster". As she said, those kinds of places were certainly tough to find in Brooklyn.

1989 On a cool August night in Maine heading out to dinner. Irene spoke of how quiet and peaceful it was that summer and how much she enjoyed going out each night .No cooking, just relaxing, meeting some friends from NY and some total strangers who started up conversations in the restaurants.

1988 The first Breen Family artificial tree. Irene was so proud that she did it all alone and put it in place in the front window, that she took a photo of it as soon as she finished. As she said," It was safer and so much fuller than the real trees." I think it also gave her an excuse to purchase more lights and ornaments. She truly made home an extra special place at Christmas time for her brothers.

Two years later the new fresh Christmas Tree, all decorated, in its "appropriate" place in the library. Irene loved fixing the house for the Christmas holidays. She always put up a fresh Christmas tree and the three Creche scenes she had around the house, one on top of the book case, one on the Mantle and another on a little table all by itself. Later on, it became necessary to buy an artificial tree, but she ALWAYS made sure to have a fresh wreath on the door and when possible, buy some fresh pine to place in a water filled vase.

Whenever near the water Irene was always happy, however, this photo when developed, had the family calling Irene "Olive Oil", (Popeyes thin girlfriend). Today it would be totally "Politically Incorrect". It didn't matter to her, as long as she was near water, nothing would bother her.

1962 after Vinnie's Ordination. "During ordination a new priest’s hands are anointed with chrism as a sign of consecration and of the change that has been effected in his soul.
The custom of kissing his hands stems from a recognition of the fundamental change that has occurred and of the particular importance of the sign of the hands in priestly ministry.
After ordination the priest uses his hands to hold the Eucharistic species during the consecration, to make the sign of the cross while absolving sins, to anoint the sick and dying, and on occasion to impart the sacrament of confirmation."
Here Irene kisses Vincent's hands to recognize their importance in his new Ministry.

Norman Rockwell had the first picture Of the Girl in the Mirror in the POST March of 1954. I believe someone in the family saw it and remembered it on Irene's Graduation night in May 1955. (And just so you see the difference between Rockwell's treatment of the poor doll in his painting and Irene's treatment of hers, her doll in the photo was taken in 2019.)
