That city boy looks mighty comfortable on that horse. You really have a lot of cute pictures of John!
Was this Ronnie's pony?
If the pony comment doesn't make sense, ask Lee. If he doesn't know, ask MaryAnn or Rina or Laurie. They'll know! (Ron actually has a neighbor with ponies now!) John looks quite content on that pony. . . did you take it home for him?
