Do you Remember…..
Summer vacations with your family?
Hot water bottles?
Coon skin caps?
Floating around in innertubes?.
Spending hours in reflection?
Dressing up for church?
Sitting in the grass and looking for four leaf clovers?
Riding around in the back of a jeep with the top off?
When your only phone was in the kitchen?
Those pump-action metal toy ponies?
Costume parties?
Your first love?
Holding babies?
Dressing up?
Playing Cowboy?
Slippery slides?
Parties in your unfinished basement?
Playing in the mud?

DID YOU? I REMEMBER riding with my folks 150 miles away to Rapid City to buy it for my sister… and then I inherited it in short order. I loved it. There is one just like it in the Pioneer Auto Museum in my home town of Murdo S.D. and I’ve always wondered if it is ours. Our house blew away in a tornado after we all left. We were renting it out but had a bunch of things in the basement and we were told people in town came and rifled through all the stuff before they filled in the basement. No problem as it all just would have been buried. My mom’s friend went and got all the papers out and a friend went and got all my childhood books. She said her kids grew up reading them. We were all living so far away that none of the family went back.

I don’t remember how I got mine or what happened to it and I never saw a picture if my sister (4 years younger) riding it.

I was 4 years younger than my sister so can’t imagine that I would have been old enough to remember their buying it for her, but I so clearly remember it. Strange. They wouldn’t have bought it for her if she was older than 7, I would think, and I am 2 or 3 in this photo, So I couldn’t have been older than that when they bought it..Ah, the mysteries of memory.

My sister is 4 years younger and I had the horse when I was around 18 months old. Maybe I wore it out?

Yes, I do remember at least some of it — minus a few things because we had different roots. Great that you have pictures of all that stuff. I wish I had more pictures from way back.

If my brother had lived longer, I’d have more pictures too. Unfortunately, he died far too young.

How old was he and how old were you?

He was 60 and I was 56. He had all the pictures, but pancreatic cancer got him before we got around to dividing them. I miss him a lot. He was a really good person and we enjoyed our time together. It ended too soon.

Did someone destroy the photos? Such a shame.

I took this picture at a hotel in England in the Cotswalds. It was supposed to be haunted…

The hot water bottle was hanging on the inside of the bathroom door.
