Great writing prompt. What is the story here? It made me think of that Gene Autry song “I’m heading for the last round up…”

Oh yes. I just listened to it. A perfect choice.
I then had another thought. How about Benny Hlll’s Ernie (The Fastest Milkman in the West)? Is that too un-PC? Ernie’s horse was called Trigger and a palomino.

That is an interesting irony because Roy Rogers, the singing cowboy also had a palomino called Trigger. When Trigger died Roy Rogers had his horse stuffed. Roy Rogers sang, “A Cowboy needs a horse.”

I think it tried to jump a little too high and got stuck. I’d take it home, too!

I think my kids would have been very happy to see you take this abandoned horse home. They’re at the age when personification is a huge part of daily life. Each stuffed animal, plant, and rock has feelings, a name, and a personality. 🙂

Some people and animals like napping in trees. Keeps ’em safe from the other critters.Me? I’d be afraid of rolling over while I dozed.
I can totally understand why you’d want to take him home and let him graze in the backyard.

I had a bunk bed when I was a kid. It was hand-made by my father. No such thing as a guard rail, Mary. I’m amazed that I never fell out. Like you, these days I stick to the bottom storey. 🙂

Wow, a handmade bed by your dad sounds cool. I am doing a vintage, rescue stuff, recycle, upcycle blog hop on cactuscatz.com on saturdays. if you have a photo of the bed, that would be great to add to the linkup if you’re interested.

Goodness, Mary. That was way before digital photos. And recording our personal history was the least of our concern, so no print photos either. 🙂 But thanks for the offer anyway.

Yeah, it’s so much easier now. My dad was in the military and we were stationed overseas so I guess it was different. A lot of families who were stationed overseas took pics so they could send them back to their families stateside. My dad was into taking b&w photos for awhile. We don’t have many pics from his family in the states though. Both of my parents came from poor families so there’s nothing of them until they were in their 20s. Now it costs nothing to take pics except for the initial cost of the camera/phone. Really different.
