Picture Perfect Winter 2013 Week Four "Nostalgic" Theme hosted by Gator
I knew what photo I wanted, but could I find it was the question. Dug through a file box and Bingo! Found it. Scanned the photo and opened into Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 to remove another horse in the background, enhance the black & white photo, crop and frame and place on a background as if in an album with black pages as it once was.
Once in a while back then I would take some black and white photos. Not sure what camera. Don't remember when I bought the Canon AE-1 but this might have been the camera. It was manufactured between 1976 (the year my daughter was born) and 1984 so probably was the camera (and I still have it).
I'm just happy to have found the photo of Sherry and Randy. I bought Randy at age 6 when my daughter was just a baby. He was sold at age 21 to a family with a little girl and a baby boy. He helped raise those children and also taught several beginners to ride in the Pony Club. He died in 2002 and is buried under a tree overlooking their arena. I was sent a shadow box, a lock of his mane in a hand beaded ornament, a brass name plate with Randy Zan 1971 - 2002 and the institutions to add my favorite Randy memories.
The older my horse Jake gets, the more he reminds me of Randy. I have even on occasions, let Nostalgic take over and have called him Randy.
And yes, my daughter still has horses. This year she is again hauling trying to win a world championship in the National Cutting Horse Association. She left this week for Arizona for a show circuit.
