[QUOTE="cross_7, post: 984852, member: 8382"] My grand parents came to West Texas in early early 1900(i'd have to check with aunts to know when for sure) They came in a covered wagon and started farming cotton with a team of horses. My Grand Dad would day labor when work was available and my Grand Mother would plow with the horses alone when he was gone. They had 6 kids and gave all 6 kids a 1/4 section, kept 2 sections for themselves and sold the rest when he retired. They started with nothing and everything they aquired was from the sweat of their brow. I remember back as a kid, they grew, raised, or made most everything they needed and spent very little money. They had the money then but they believed spending money was wasteful My Dad was born when my Grand Dad was 50 so by the time I came along he was old and retired but he had some great stories He loved training calf roping horses Everybody said my dad and uncle always won becuse they had better horses than anybody else :D I'd sure wish I could have known them when they were younger [/QUOTE]
