I was born across the border, yep! I'm an Okey as these Texans would tell it; they don't like the word Sooner. After I left the military, I made my way to North Texas not only looking for work but to continue my education and I'm still here today. My little brother Walter Garland Farmer was #3, we call him Dub. Like me, he too was born across the border and is also an Okey. He came out of the military and went right into the oil industry. Yep, found himself right in the thick of things and moved to Houston. There he became a representative for the company and ended up working around the world until he retired. Now we come to the next little brother, Charles Ray Farmer is #5 among the kids. He too after the military made his way to North Texas and lived here for the most part but, now he lives in the Hill Country of Texas. He is a true Texan. We were taught from the time we could walk we had to work. Don't get me wrong, we always had plenty to eat and a roof of some kind over our heads. It's just nothing was wasted, somehow it was reused. One of the things that were placed in our minds was. "Can't only do one thing that's to run around behind COULD hollering I CAN'T." We are truly self-educated. The mind is a great thing and using your imagination to help in solving problems is fundamental to helping the characters come alive in this story. If you like it, maybe. Just maybe, we may come up with another one.view less
