I pray that there are decendants that want to keep the land and keep ranching! There's nothing better for the soul than being on and working the land. ❤❤❤
I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to them relate the history of the Family Ranch! What a Blessing to hear their story. Thank you for allowing us to listen and learn.
I'm striving to be just like this gal! Eat a good hardy breakfast, work on the ranch all day, eat what you raise and grow and still be sharp as knife at 100! Goals!
I think all of the older generation needs to video tape the stories of their lives to pass down to their children and grandkids. Good stories like this will die if you don't share them. Thanks for sharing your stories.
I think of it more as a recipe. How they have done things is how you're supposed to do things. Things get tough from time to time, these people got tougher and overcame. I love it
Interview you’r old relatives. Do it now. I wish I had been able to interview my grandfather before he died but the iPhone (cell phone cameras) wasn’t around then and it was difficult with the tape recorders. Not impossible but I didn’t do it. Now it’s much easier. Set an interview your grandparents or the oldest folks in your family and ask them about their lives. Ask them about the hard times and the good and how they made it through both❤️
Living in Texas. I’m tellin ya. These people are tough and they live long and healthy lives. I hate to see their ranches sold to make housing developments.
We need more people like this now more than ever. People need to go back to their roots at doing these things ( gardening, close family ties, etc) and being as humble as these two are as we are facing some serious issues with the way our country is going.
I’ve bought oil and gas leases since 1968 and this country is full of people like this. I’m blessed to have met so many good people while working for the oil companies as an independent contractor. I had to black sisters I leased in Meadville, Mississippi I’ll never forget one was 100 years old and the other 103 years old. They were a wealth of information on the family histories of everyone in the area.
I have a friend who used to lease land (is that called a "landman"?) Meeting the good people like these two kept him depressed all the time - cause he knew they were the last generation in their class. I loved to talk to him about them but he got too sad so we discussed idiot politicians.
This is so amazing to me it literally makes me feel like I am talking to my grandparents who passed away. I work on their farm that they purchased back in the day. And it is still in my family. It's on its fourth generation. And we are so proud to say that we have no outside help. We do it all ourselves except for we milk. Almost 200 cows twice a day. But this is so impressive to see these 2. Much respect to both of them. God bless all the farmers and the people who grow up this way. And who went through those hard times like the drought? I could not even imagine. These types of people. Are so few and far between these days that they're almost not existent. Everyone breaks down and ends up selling their land because it's just not practical or profitable to have a farm these days, but we do it because we love it, and we would not want to be doing anything else.
So awesome to see this comment, I always wonder why people would sell precious land if they can hold on to it! Priceless thank God for all you farmers. We all know the evil cabal is trying to take away many farners' lands...🙏🙏🙏🙏Best wishes to you and your family!
@mermaidokalani3322 thank you for that nice comment!!!!!! God Bless you and your family as well! ❤️ sadly the small farmers go out of business bc they cannot afford to make a living off their land w fuel prices unfortunately
I grew up on what used to be a farm and ranch in very rural hills in Santa Rita NM. No one around us. Sadly some family were money hungry and sold. Was very peaceful prior. I had a rough lumber cabin. We raised 100 chickens and a few Turkey. I am moving back and try to re-setup on a different area on property.
America's history right there spreaking. Thank you two for sharing our/ your rich American history. Last of my elders have gone. Now it's up to us to share vocally our traditions and true history. Stay strong. Hold on to your land and heritage. We across the nation support our ranchers and farmers. The news just doesn't let you know that.
'The Epoch Times' has an indepth Documentary showing clearly what Farmers and Rancher's are going through in the USA and Abroad in 2023. Massively important that anyone age 12 and up watch it.
Had me at sold a lit of beer over their by the church lol. And didnt habe to pay taxes lol. These are the salt of the earth people who i could listen to for hrs
Farming is the best way of life,I was fortunate to be raised on one in Ireland. I'll never forget the experiences I had as a young man.Thank you almighty God.
great stories by wonderful people who went through tough times and kept perseverance. Ranching and eating good food keeps them healthy. Very inspiring lifestyle
I pray the evil wef Blackrocks, Gates, or China don't get this beautiful farm! Praying someone as wonderful as this family takes it over when that time comes, & keeps it a Family Farm, not an evil corporate farm.
My grandpa was born in 1899. He died in 1980 after seeing me graduate in 1979. He told me about the trains planes and automobiles. He used to put windshields and model T’s. He said they put them in with rubber mallets. He had to be very careful putting them in, because they were told if they broke more than one window they were fired. My grandfather was 42 and my grandmother was 17 in 1941 when they got married. Most of his relatives had dairy farms in upstate New York. They raised hundreds of head of milk cows. In the summertime they would take my mother out to their farms and she would spend the summer with them learning how to pick vegetables out of the gardens and how to can them. She also said that she actually turned butter in an old-fashioned butter churn. My mom said she would sit out on the porch and take turns with her aunt churning butter. She said when she was really young, she remembers using an outhouse and she said that they had well water to drink.
If I could leave everybody with just ONE piece of usable wisdom.. ICE CREAM IS A SUPER FOOD.. every constituent in ice cream helps with longevity and the promotion of healthy hormones in the body which will lead to a long and healthy life! I love you all!
That’s my Aunt Doris and Uncle Bobby, what a lovely video. I wish my father Walter Billimek was still here to join their conversion.❤
I hope they each had children, and grandchildren to pass on the stories, care for the land, and that the Billimek last name continues.
I pray that there are decendants that want to keep the land and keep ranching! There's nothing better for the soul than being on and working the land. ❤❤❤
Ps...never sell that land, regardless of how much you are offered, keep it in the family....🙏🙏🙏
I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to them relate the history of the Family Ranch! What a Blessing to hear their story. Thank you for allowing us to listen and learn.
Nancy for you 🌹😉

Agree!
I just love listening to these two talk and tell their story. It would be an honor to just sit and listen to then relate how life was. Thank you
I just had the same thoughts. If I lived closer, I would love to visit them in person ❤
Love there stories !
There's thousands of folks just like these two across the country just as interesting.
I think all of the older generation needs to video tape the stories of their lives to pass down to their children and grandkids. Good stories like this will die if you don't share them. Thanks for sharing your stories.
i agree 100 %

"You can't pay me what I'm asking" love that lady!
Yep, I know exactly how she feels.
❤ family legacies are priceless!!
These two are rich beyond measure. National treasures. ❤❤ Thank you for the videos. I just love them.
Just love this! Grew up in rural South Dakota in the 60s and 70s sure miss those days. Could listen to these folks all day! 🥰
Oral histories cannot ne contained in a book, this is so special.
Bless these two, this generation is a wealth of knowledge
I love it!!! A bowl of ice cream every might !!!! Lady after my own heart
I'm able to listen to their stories, 24-7 . What cuties , the sister & brother are . Happiness to the both of you.❤

I think we have met before. Did you do oil and gas leases in winnsborro LA
This is so great to listen to.
Hopefully their land can get passed down to family that wants to keep it. ❤
YES. Do not sell to greedy developers!
I agree. Keep it in the family. 🧡🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼❤
I would love to talk to Bobby and Doris for hours. Thanks for sharing.

We have you and your family to thank as well!! Yes…thank you to all our farmers in Texas and nationwide. Much respect and love.❤

@mermaidokalani3322 thank you for that nice comment!!!!!! God Bless you and your family as well! ❤️ sadly the small farmers go out of business bc they cannot afford to make a living off their land w fuel prices unfortunately
There is more than one way to measure wealth
Most people sell their land because they can't afford the rent (property taxes). You will have nothing and you will be happy says Klaus.
What a wonderful story. With all the recent developments growing and inviting Californians in to destroy our way of life, I'm glad they have held out!
I love these two . Simple. But powerfully Real !
Texas history
That’s the life. Zero stress and u will live as long as u want. All organic food
"Zero stress"? 😆
I don't know about zero stress!
off the grid though, like it.
Loved this...
God and country 🙏
When they pass, there goes that beautiful farm. Hopefully someone takes over and cares and loves it
Happy birthday, Bobby! God's blessings on you & Doris. No taxes... I can't even imagine that. Boot leggin' I can! Hahaha!
