Ten years ago, Bill Lansing decided to commemorate his memories of growing up on a small ranch in northern California. Like most baby boomers, not much was ever relayed about their parents’ history. So he decided to remedy that for his future descendants. The book starts out with his parents’ courtship in 1920s and connects the narrative memories from 1946 with personal photos in a chronological manner until 1969. Many of the stories are funny, as Bill writes with passion and humor. The title comes from three general sources: growing up with horses, beginning at age six; hating the bandy chickens his mother coveted; and Bill’s passion for baseball. These three topics anchor the flow of the book.
