What got me was how when I started trying to remember, more came to me. I don't generally like reliving the past but this was an exception :). I think it was a more innocent time but then I remember how much was swept under the rug... <br /><br />Mostly the West as it was shown in those shows was a fantasy for even those born then. It's the beauty of great mythologies and the Old West is one. It's why I love writing what I do-- going to a time where the good guy wins. It was the guarantee with all those shows too. Then we come back to reality lol and yes, it's laugh at some of it or cry. I prefer to laugh-- even if sometimes it's a cynical laugh.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-70448774992743986602017-11-14T16:57:13.033-08:002017-11-14T16:57:13.033-08:00Sounds like you’ve found a good fit with the blog ...Sounds like you’ve found a good fit with the blog writers group you’ve chosen to join. I enjoyed reading of your background and could identify with some of your experiences living in a rural area. There was a freedom in the space and and opportunity to appreciatively embrace nature — it’s harshness and it’s warm beauty I experienced as you likely did, too. Certainly those years helped form me as you describe was true for you. Life growing up,in the West was mainly in my imagination during the period I was attracted to Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers — sounds like you lived more of it for a longer period. joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.com
