A Pretend Past

Sometimes I think it would be fun to live in the Old West.....but not the real Old West. I'm talking about the Old West as written by Lori Wick.

The one where there are men who are both single and employed in various manly professions.

The one where the aforementioned men are just waiting for the love a good woman who may or may not know how to cook.

The one where the people work hard but don't seem to actually live in sod houses or worry about twisters or plagues of locusts.

The one where there is only one church in town that is always taught by the world's most patient minister who always has a saintly wife and 5 year old that is always saying things to make the adults laugh and think "Oohh, what a little scamp!"

The one where people who don't know each other often seemed forced into marriage for a variety of reasons but ALWAYS eventually discover they are soul mates.

The one where there are insanely large families and then men are always really, really good at handling the kids.

The one where the lack of air conditioning is not an issue.

The one where chivalry is not dead and hygiene is not questionable.
