They miss New York

but Texas is cowboy home.

Ruth proposes to Rusty

Now that the ranch was out of the red the two realized that they had fallen in love...

Proving theorems

Almost 4 months

From letting us know that a "favor" was the climax to a whole other world of the story, to the actual favor------- evolved or known very least.  All has been gravity waves in action, read, our truth comes that way.

The New Yorkers clamored

for the finance specialists roles.  Many were already "seasoned" as they say, ranch talk.

Coal warned Rusty

Named for his jet black hair, now white, Ruth's father told him that Ruth wanted him to stay on as long as possible.  "Don't get catched by that woman, unless you want to".  Rusty laughed at his directness.  He talked about his wife who had passed ten years before.  "We were married for fifty some years and she was like Ruth (or Coal), fast forward and direct!"

The day to day routine

for the remainder of Spring and then Summer beginning in June, they would have the ranch.  Fall classes would be ongoing support and prosperous until winter when Rusty planned to leave.  By then Ruth felt that she may have an Eselene like conference center as well as a working ranch.  Her passion was beginning right away.

With Rusty by her side

she called to order the first meeting.  They would be working the herd she told the experienced hands and the inexperienced.  Ruth outlined what a typical day would be like, hard work and relaxation both.  She wanted the farm run well and asked for some finance specialists to help her.  Everyone would work together and change off for variety yet to focus on one's passion was also part of her plan.

Ruth wanted to be at the Ranch

Dad was racing Star, the Kentucky Derby.

the poolside bar

The outdoor pool was not open for swimming but the bar was at the Downtown Sheraton in Dallas where the gala was held.  The mens group was in hunt for a cave.  Once upon a time, the ranch was near the Oklahoma border with Texas.

They were ecstatic...

Rusty was willing for 6 months to run the ranch and to train a foreman as he went.  There would be a large crowd now following him for the Mens group with a few women too.  He was glad to do it and looking forward to the big lands of Texas.  He would be near enough to a big city and travel whenever for book talks and signings.  Mostly he missed the Land.

Rusty catches on to the favor

Ruth and "Dad" want him to run the ranch outside of Dallas for a year while they concentrate on the races for "Star".  Ruth says, "The mens group could have a western home in none other than Texas.  If they want to learn ranch handling there would be a plenty".

Father of Ruth,

he wanted to speak to Rusty regarding her.  She was so difficult speaking about herself at all yet she seemed completely different around Rusty.

philanthropist

sometimes a volunteer, ever more the giving...

Ruth talks to her father

"Did you talk over, the race, Dad?  He was running out the door or away from Ruth.  She wasn't sure exactly the main motive?

Rusty the millionaire

Noone knew he was worth so much.  He invested and his books paid off, yet he lived simply and was still the personality they had all come to love deeply.  Few knew Rusty well.  He was shy most of the time until he talked about the ranch doings and the rodeo.  Ruth maneuvered the conversation to those points as much as possible.  She started to be by his side with the mens group members, Rex ....

Another reality overlooked

How to describe an alternative to our agreed upon foundation seems impossible.  As a development the human condition is just recently able to focus on future so actually confronting the mechanics of today maybe even more difficult or unsettling.  Ahhe well!  Today is the beginning of the rest of your life.

To Australia

many Maori also go!  Rusty now living in New York felt quite at home.  The present encompassed all that he found, his passion.  He was a published writer going to book signings and rodeos, both.  His culture playing a key role.

from New Zealand

Rusty went to Australia as a young cowboy, wrangler.  He made his way to the memorable ranch where the phenomenon began.

Shopping

Ruth loved New York City for her passion, and spent a full week like an athlete practicing for the masters, shopping spree.  Boxes were every where and when Rusty walked in and Ruth was covered in jewels.  He told her she looked 'Maori", all decorated, head to foot.

The horse race!

Ruth was used to the stables, she grew up around horses.

The blue people

Kind of translucent they were known for their scent....

Texas

seems almost a country, it is so large and influential.  El Paso means the crossing, a transition, a baptism.

The Coral Motel

This took me years to find again.  El Paso is like this.  I once found a neighborhood winery serving hundreds of different glasses of wine for the expert.  The establishment closed yet the neighborhood a hidden gem also, has yet to be found again, by me.  I think it is the way of the Franklin Mountains, one can forget the way!

Anyway the motel had a pool at that time, I swam daily and relaxed for a month.  I am glad that I found it on Montana, brings back good memories, I strengthen as I swim again.

Ruth and her father

flew into La Guardia with their family plane, bringing Gold Star, their race horse.  They were coming to see Rusty and ask of him, a favor.

Two philosophers

were watchers of storms according to The Philosophy Book.  The are in 1854, Henry David Thoreau and 1748, Charles Louis de Secondary.

Fridays

The food was sizzling, "Their fajitas are the best," chimed the PA on another film!
