I'm glad I could remind you...Hi Danielle-momo:<br /><br />I'm glad I could remind you of something that's been missing on TV, IMHO, Westerns that have more of a message than violence.<br /><br />While the West was wild and men had to learn to survive using their wits, talents, and buckets of luck, I wish some of the westerns depicted today would tone down the violence just a bit and show more of the internal struggle and man against nature struggle that were just as big a part of taming the West as the violence.<br /><br />OK...getting down off my soapbox now...LOL!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!<br />Slainte'<br />C.H.

I think it is because cowboys work with the land and most often have to depend on themselves to keep their herds alive through a rough winter, or dry summer. <br /><br />Their ranch and everyone who works for them depends on their ability to juggle the present with the past--the present being juggling bills to keep the ranch going and the herd fed--and the past using their God-given talents to work long after most of us would drop from exhaustion.<br /><br />Farmers are cut from the same cloth as ranchers--some grow crops, others raise animals. They are all to be admired...IMHO.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!<br />Slainte'<br />C.H. AdmirandC.H.

LOL!<br /><br />I come from a long line of feisty Irishwomen, so it's hard to imagine a heroine being any other way. <br /><br />A few years back I had a heroine who put her child first and was quite selfless...the reaction from readers wasn't what I'd hoped for...but the character could not have been written any other way.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!<br />Slainte'<br />C.H.
