Cowboys and Crude Oil

Bruce happily left the job at the mechanic shop in Oklahoma City for a new life on a ranch near Elk City. He was nursing a broken heart from the rejection of a woman he had begun to love. Who was he kidding? No woman would want to take on a man like him and his four children. They had just begun to heal after the death of their mother. He believed the cowboy life of his childhood was a better fit for them and he was ready for whatever might come his way. Kathy discovered that she could make better money driving a truck and hauling crude oil than using the bachelor degree she had toiled to earn. Her parents were wary of her choice of occupation and yearned for her to be married and provide them some grandchildren. Their urging produced the opposite results, sending her far away from Woodward, Oklahoma. She was self-sufficient until the day she met a cowboy.
