This Country Is All Talk Just Waiting For Someone Else To Fix It
As I have learned over the recent few years, social media has provided this false environment where people talk a big game, but carry out their day to day lives a different way.
Old Frio Town - Ghost Town in Texas - Western Era
FRIO TOWN, TX. Frio Town, originally known as Frio City, was a frontier community off Farm Road 140 immediately south of the Presidio Crossing of the Frio River, sixteen miles northwest of Pearsall in northwest Frio County. The town was laid out by A. L. Odin in 1871. The first mail was delivered to the community on horseback from Benton City; later it arrived from San Antonio by stage. Frio City was a "cowboy capital" and outpost cultural center during the 1870s. Estimates of its population in the early 1880s reach as high as 1,500.

Learning about the Country Life of Relatives Taught Me How Rich and Blessed They Are
I remember as a child when we used to go with our parents to visit our relatives way up in the mountains. We lived in Puerto Rico and our relatives lived in Las Piedras about 2000 feet above sea level. They were a family of seven children and the parents—nine all living under the same roof. Their living quarters comprised three open-plan shacks. The first one was the living room. It had a 13” black-and-white TV on a small side table and a ripped-up couch. They divided the second one into two bedrooms. One with four full-size beds and the other with one queen-size bed. The third shack was the dining room and kitchen. Then there was an outhouse. Also, they bathed in the river or gathered water in buckets and brought it to the house to bathe in an outdoor area enclosed with zinc panels.
The Country, City Match
Now, it may not seem like a big difference when two people get together from different backgrounds, but when one person is from the country and the other is from the city, there can be huge differences. So, is it possible for this type of couple to maintain a relationship? The answer is yes. Not only can they survive a relationship together, but they can also complement each other's styles.
