I hope ya'll find just the right spot.....cuz Texas can use some more horses, equipment, house stuff and kids along with one blind goose. And the parents. That is a pretty part of Texas I hafta say.
I made a trip to Floresville a few years back, friend of mine had a great aunt that lives down there, and she had two horses that she could no longer take care of (she's 90 years old) and asked if my friend would take them. She called me and asked if there was any way that we could use my horse trailer to haul em. I said, Yeap.....ROAD TRIP!!!!! Enjoyed it so much. She'd never really been out of this area, and we had a blast.
Hafta tell this part of this story, .........Aunt Jim and Karen and I had gone down to the barn pasture where the horses were, and had loaded the horses. Everything went fine, she insisted on loadin them herself , even at 90 years old, I was a bit hesitant, but she said they hadn't had anyone else messin with them in 10 years, and hadn't been loaded in all that time, she didnt want us gettin hurt :shock: LOL they loaded fine. On our way back thru the pasture, Aunt Jim was in the back seat, we were just talkin, I don't recall about what.....but I glanced in the back seat at her, and she had tears rollin down her face. I lost it, reached in the backseat for her hand, she grabbed hold......I stopped the truck, Karen by this time looks back to see what I'm doin, and see's Aunt Jim too....she lost it too. So there we sat, three women bawlin in the middle of the pasture in my truck, with the horses loaded in the trailer. I asked if she was sure she wanted to do this....she said yes, just was hard, cuz they was her long gone husbands pride and joy. I've been thru Floresville several times since then, and I always think of Aunt Jim. She lives with some of her kids now in Austin. She comes home here, on occasion and I get to see her. Her lil house, and 50 or so acres are a beautiful spot on earth.
Wish ya'll all the best with yer move to Texas.
