I decided to do a story about Buckley. If you have never been to Buckley you should drive there one of these times. The town itself is pretty much like it was when I lived there but all around it has built out like everywhere else. Moses Lake and Buckley were my two favorite towns. Clayton and I drove our Motorhome through Moses Lake shortly after we were married. I barely recognized it. It has really grown. There is a hospital there even. When we lived there, you had to go to Ephrata to the hospital. Anyway, the photo is a picture of David on a pony in Buckley. I think he was about 4. A photographer used to come through several times to take pictures. He had the pony in a trailer behind his truck. I can't even remember how much he charged. I know he did pretty well. The kids just loved getting on the pony. In Buckley, if nothing else, there were lots of kids. It was a time when people were still having big families. I think Diane was too afraid to get on the pony, so we just had a picture of David. The pony is in our front yard. The photographer just went from house to house.

Can you imagine nowadays if someone came house to house with a pony. It seems like there is probably some law against that now. Though if they can to my house I might be interested depending on the price.
ReplyDeleteYes, going door to door with a pony will never be seen again. The hat,scarf, vest and chaps were put on for the picture. He had a girl's outfit for pictures too. Yes, there probably would be some law against it now. I just love all the pictures of Sophie.
