Here's the first of my pics. I've 28 that were put on CD for me, so I'm obviously going to be posting photos for at least a few weeks.
The first two:
This is mum, taken on the day I graduated from my 2-year college, in May of 2003. She was doing dialysis then, and you can see the tape on her shoulder that was where her tubes were attached to her. She was doing reasonably well when this photo was taken, and I was just bursting with joy, that day, to know that mum was FINALLY going to see me graduate college--with honours. (I flunked out the first try, at age 19).
This pic was taken about a mile up the road from our caravan, at one of the town beaches, in Lake Luzerne, NY.
As I'm typing this, I'm still waiting..and waiting...and waiting, for my computer to upload the files to photobucket--we could be here a while...
Anyway, the second pic is of me at age 12 or 13. My dad had a friend who's daughter was showing her quarter horse, so he took me to this show, somewhere in western New York. There, his friend introduced my dad to this cowboy, who was boarding his big black horse and fancy silver studded saddle at that stable where the show was being held. I have to admit, this horse-loving kid basically drooled over this beautiful horse and it's fancy rig. I guess the cowboy must have noticed, because he told my dad that I could take the horse for a quick ride around the grounds, if I wanted--and dad, bless him, had his camera with him. One of most treasured moments, as a kid--I loved cowboys, I loved horses--well...I imagine it was sort of like a young Dr Who fan getting to touch the real Tardis, I suppose. I was in seventh heaven--and scared a little, too--that was one biiiggg horse! 




Nice pictures , thanks .
