from out of the past came the footbeats of the great horse, SILVER

Roger Nelson, left, and Duane, right, were really great horsemen. Roger still is and we honor the life of Duane and all that he meant to our children.

Daniel is on the horse to the left and Randy is on the horse to the right, The year is 1963 and we we visiting the Elmer and Opal Nelson farm in Hills, Minnesota, visiting from Riverside, California.
Both Roger and Duane had spent time with us in California so the boys looked with anticipation to our first visit back home.

Roger Nelson forwarded this picture to me and to make the circle complete, it was their sister, Carol's husband, Art, who blew this picture up for us.

Midsummers and pleasures
wherever we may roam
be it ever so humble
there's no place like home.
