A Good Place To Bring A Kid!

I felt bad for my baby girl, Jamie, all cooped up in the city back in 1973 .We lived in Bayonne, NJ then and a trip up to see Grandma and the rest of the family would do her good.I said, "Jamie, you shall now learn to drive a truck." Then, you shall learn to ride a billy goat.Here's Uncle Fritz saddling up the billygoat. Why does Little Chuckie look sad? Why is little Jamie trying to run away ?? look at me! A size 10 !! I'll never see that anymore!!


Uncle Charlie had a slew of ponies when we were kids.The one above is Little Charlie Keefe on one of them.Mine was Trigger,Paulie's was Thunder,Davy's was Daisey Mae, my cousin Christine had Dolly.He had other ponies but I forgot their names.Below is Robbie, Uncle Charlie's horse.I wish I had a picture of Tippy, my grandmother's collie and Sheppy my Aunt Annie's collie who looked like Lassie.

  1. My sister Nancy said " Hey! I had a pony too you know. Peanut. Peanut didn’t want to do nothing! I would get so mad because he didn’t want me to ride him. Wouldn’t budge. I told uncle Charlie I wanted another pony… hahaha

    Remember the trips to Indian rocks with uncle fritz and our very first BBq of toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and cups of fresh ice cold spring water. and the night grandma scared the hell outta me and i wet the bed forever.Bad Paulie and Tommy McCue for shootin out the windows of Uncle Charlies old chevy hay truck.He also shot me in the ass with a BB too man that hurt.Ilooked on Google maps of plymouth the other day and couldnt find the 2 old shale mountains that we always stared at when we went up there but i can still here them roosters a crowin lol where some of the best times of my life.
