Wow, that pic reminded me of one of my earliest memories. My Dad carrying me across the yard and putting me in my brother's go cart when I was that age. The go cart was wooden and looked like one of those soap box racers if it was made by the little rascals. It was powered with the lawn mower's engine. They put the engine back on the lawn mower to mow the yard. The steering was done with ropes. Remember understanding the steering, grabbing the ropes and then getting upset because they wouldn't make it go. I wasn't even big enough to see out of it. Know I was that young because it was in the drive way of the house we moved from right before my 2nd birthday.

Have four memories from living in that house. The go cart. Two from the house next door, and the day we moved.

The boy in the house next door and my brother were the same age. He had a train layout in their attic. He and my brother took me up there to watch the trains. He also had a tree house in his back yard. They took me up there and let me read comic books with them. Don't remember what comic they gave me to read.

Remember when we moved we went back and got one of my toys that got left. It was a 2 ft sq piece of masonite with a metal castle in the middle. The masonite was painted green like grass with a blue moat around the castle mounted in the middle. Kinda weird I Don't remember the dog we had living there. Have pictures of it tackling me and licking me in the face with me laughing. Just don't remember that dog at all.

My niece was born in Gallop NM the day before my 2nd birthday. Woke up in the back seat of the car on the trip out there. They had started the trip while I was still asleep. Had to change from my pajamas to my clothes in the back seat and didn't want to. Didn't want people to look in the car windows and see me getting dressed. Remember my Grandmother being in the back seat also. That was the only long trip she ever took with us.
