Alan, your picture brought back a flood of memories for me. My adoptive father had served in the horse cavalry with the 8th Cav. out of Ft Bliss, TX. in the 1920's. He had me on the back of a horse practically before I had learned to walk. 

His favorite joke was to tell folks that he had been a pilot in the horse cavalry.

They would always exclaim in disbelief, "A PILOT?!"

To which, he would reply: "Yep! They would hand me a shovel and send me into a stall. Then I would 'pile it' here and I would 'pile it' there (gesturing in different directions on the ground). I was a 'Pile it!'" He would proclaim with a chuckle.

Great to see you've got them young'uns started out right! I like that second pic, too! If I were to give it a title I would call it: "Barefoot n' Boots!"

You're quite welcome, Alex.

I simply copied the image, pasted it into MS Paint, rotated 180°, saved it, and then added the saved image here.

Aside from the saved image appearing somewhat smaller, your smiling face does not seem any the worse for wear.

Cheers, my friend!

Thanks Ron. Somehow even when it was rightside up on my computer it'd still go upside down everytime I uploaded it.
