RE: What The Cowboys Did After The Cattle Drives Ended

The name of the movie is called “The Son” with Pierce Bronson. You should look up saltgrasstrailride.com for the oldest trail ride in Texas promoting the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. 🐓🐓

oh I love The Son on AMC but it's a series, waiting for them to start the 2nd season. It's very interesting because they are accurate in much of the Comanche history in dealing with whites, fighting and so on with things that happened in Texas.
yes I looked that up the last time you mentioned it, very interesting stuff.

[mother2chicks]

It was a really good series and I too look forward to the second season of “The Sons”. Pressing on about the salt grass trail ride, it was tradition when I lived in Houston to drop everything we were doing and cheer them on as all of the trail riders associations converged on the city for the rodeo. 🐓🐓

was that in the winter? I hope? I could tell it was a big deal. why did you guys leave Texas?

[mother2chicks]

Yes, the rodeo starts in late January or early Feb. I think. We left cause both of my parents lived here and I wanted to be closer to them. Both have since passed, but both of my Sisters are here too. Still Love Texas, but have a nice home here in rural Florida. Not far from the University of Florida. 🐓🐓

howdy this fine Tuesday @mother2chicks! hey how long ago did you move and have you been back? I was just wondering if things have changed alot in case you went back.

[mother2chicks]

Moved here in 2005. Once a Texan always a Texan! Yes, been back and was surprised at the enormity of the freeways and the population explosion. Especially, busy from Fredricksburg to Austin and San Antonio. Wow! Now It makes me wonder how I lived there for 25 years. It was fun. 🐓🐓

howdy this evening @mother2chicks! well you might not like it there now unless you moved outside of town, couldn't pay me enough to live in or close to one of those big cities!
