1964 selfie by jack4john

1964 selfie

It's not really a selfie of course because I did'n take it I did the restoration though. I am not the one pulling the cart by the way that's Neddy This was taken on a summers day in 1964 according to the back, outside the house I grew up in . We had to get spring water from a well about a mile from the house, hence the water can . The little girl sitting on the other side of the can from me was my best friend back then Caroline who would die tragically over Christmas 1967. Looking at this picture now I realize I am not related to anybody in the picture ( Neddy Included ) from the left is Margaret who was visiting from England, Caroline, Me , Anne, ( Caroline's Mother) and Mary Ellen...
What a lovely photo to restore. I just about remember the 60's too

very interesting photo ~ you must have grown up in a very rural area. I remember those milkcans ~ I think that is what you are leaning up against in the photo. I have several of them still from my grandparents farm. Neat idea to include this post :)

Lovely photo, great memories, and it set me wondering, has there ever, ever been a donkey that was not called Neddy?
