Peach's mother on the right was presented with the Cowboy Hall of Fame award. She is the first woman to achieve this honor and is very deserving of the accolade.

Those oldtimers will never be replaced--the era which they lived
is gone. Think what their lives were like and what they went through.
They can tell the most wonderful stories. Oh, they will be missed.

Thanks, Soap, for sharing.

Randolph Mulvahill, a son of one of the first white pioneers in the Chilcotin, died this spring at 91. During one of my visits with him talking about times gone by he made the statement, "Dave, if anyone ever starts telling you about the good ol' days, you tell them to shove em' up their ..."
I have to agree with the philosophy.

I just read a book called Buckaroos and Mud Pups by Ken Mather on the early days of ranching in the interior. Very fascinating times, but I'm glad those boys laid the groundwork. I hadn't realized there were ranches in BC before Alberta and Saskatchewan. History is fascinating but I guess we gotta realize we're making it every day :wink:
 
I remember going to that event, but those little short shade trees have really grown since then.

Didn't you and your crew make the trek into town horseback one year and arrive the morning of the breakfast?

Thanks for the memories.

Wonder if Jesse Sears is any relation to Lindsay Sears.....

I think the guy in the picture was an Indian Cowboy, related to my grandmother. Soap should know if I'm wrong.
 
Congradulations are in order for Peach's mom. Evidently, Peach had learned a thing or two by the time you hooked up with her! She'll be in line to get the award, too, when she gets to be an "old timer"!!

I have worked around a lot of top cowhands in my life, but good ol' Peach is the best cowhand I've ever had the privilege of working with. Her talents don't stop with riding horses and working cattle, either. She can cook, carpenter, mechanic, fix fence, and then dress up and be a complete lady. In the Political Bull, one of the many controversial topics is about Feminism. I hereby state that Peach is far superior to me, and I will be the first to admit it. :-) Peach gives all the glory to God. She says without Him, she falls very short.
 
Congraatts to Mom Peach...
What a tribute to your wife. I am sure she knows and you tell her often. Just think your 2 boys have seen and I am sure have learned what a husband is suppose to say and treat thier wife like. Sunflower has seen how and what to look for in a good husband.
Before long youwill have grandbabies to spoil :wink:
