Memories--How time flies as I cherish my childhood

Early readers of the blog may recall the photo above, taken in 1957 at Grandpa Jake's house with my wonderful Santa surprise, my first horse. You pumped it up and down, and it rolled on wheels. Below is the horse in 2009, without a "show shine". When I grew up and finished "training" him, my father had a car spring mounted on his belly, so you could rock back and forth and he was permanently stabled at Uncle Ralphs, for his grandchildren to use. Tin pony to the Greatest Show on Earth. What a journey!!!!!!!!
