Throwback Thursdays- Sharing Pictures of My Cousin Ron and I with his Pet Rooster

 

Sharing Photo of My Cousin Ron and I

 

 

 

My cousin Ron says this was taken at their old ranch house where he lived with his mother in Lancaster, CA before he started kindergarten. My cousin would have been about 4 years old, and I was maybe 3 years old. Looking at our coats and hats, it was probably winter. Looks like I had a stuffed lamb sitting there...but do not remember it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Cousin and I with his pet rooster 

 

The second picture was taken the same afternoon. Ron was holding his big red rooster that they kept as a pet. He said the only chicken name he knew at that age was "Henny Penny," so that was what we called it, although it was a ROOSTER. His mom told him that the rooster used to walk right up under her bedroom window every morning, and wake her up with its crowing…so she didn't need an alarm clock.

 

* I remember my Aunt Bea; she was so cute and had the cutest Southern Accent (TN). I loved her and have good memories.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Photos of my cousin and i and our parents

 

 

Here is a picture of my Dad painting a fence slat? And here is Ron with his mom, my Aunt Bea. We were in our backyard on Roslyn Street in Riverside. Looks like I was scowling at the camera. FUNNY!

*My mom must have been taking the photo!

Hi Praful,

Yes all my photos when I was little were B&W. I cannot see my cousin's rooster so I am going to try to enhance it now. I cannot remember the rooster but remember my aunt talking about it waking her up.

You and your cousin look like you are dressed for Wisconsin weather.  My aunt who is the same age as I am used to have a pet chicken for many years, probably the only chicken around to die of old age.

Your mother must have been a great photographer, very nice shot of your dad painting the bench.

Hi Kristin -- great post that I'm sure evokes a lot of memories for you.  In photo #3 - I believe your Dad is working on a picnic table bench(at least that's what it looks like to me).

Hi Bob,

My mom used to say my dad would get more paint on the ground than the fence. He was a pilot in the Air Force but tried to be handy around the house. That redwood stain was so thin that it would just drip everywhere. My cousins rooster was so cute and a very unusual pet. I was so happy when he sent me the photos.

Hi Michael,

Oh you might be right as we did have a redwood picnic table with the long benches. I remember we took it from California to North Dakota and we could only use it 2 months as the rest of time in Minot was snowy. Good memories.

Hi Tony and Darcy,

I feel bad that I don't remember the rooster but I do recall my Aunt talking about him waking her up before dawn and my dad had told her he could take care of the problem as they had been raised on a farm but my aunt said NO. I may just remember my parents and aunt talking about it a few years later as I was only 3 in the pics.

Hi David,

Those must have been fun days going to visit my aunt and cousin and having my dad come home for 30 days every year to spend time with my mom and I. Then he would fly off again and I would miss him for 9-11 months again. Finally he retired.

Hi Patty,

Yes it is so much fun to go through my mother's scrapbook and find photos to share. My cousin sent these to me a few weeks ago and I thought the rooster picture was especially adorable.

Hi Kerrie,

I adore the 40's and 50's styles and they were so stylish and formal. The swimsuit is so cute and reminds me of the movies made during that time era.
