00:00:00Fish!
00:00:08Huh?
00:00:11Come on!
00:00:14Come on, come on!
00:00:19Come on, come on!
00:00:23Come on, come on!
00:00:28Dear Ma and Pa, the Bible says for everything there is a season, and after two years of
00:00:53marriage, the time has finally come for Willie and me to put down roots on a ranch of our
00:00:58own.
00:00:59We left the wagon train today, and are heading out alone through desolate and beautiful country.
00:01:12It's not green like the farm, or golden.
00:01:16As you can tell by my handwriting, the way is pretty bumpy.
00:01:22He's worried we got a late start leaving Denver.
00:01:24August is not a good month to start up a ranch.
00:01:28I did get a full year of teaching in, and we can use the money.
00:01:31We also may be starting up something else.
00:01:34Namely, your first grandchild.
00:01:37I haven't told Willie yet.
00:01:39He's got so much on his mind already.
00:01:41There will be plenty of time to tell him after we've settled.
00:01:45For everything, there is a season.
00:01:57Willie, can you pull up for a minute?
00:02:15Feel better?
00:02:16Yes.
00:02:17You're bound to get sick hitching around in that wagon.
00:02:20You know, there's still a couple of hours left of daylight.
00:02:23We can keep going if you want.
00:02:26No, that's okay.
00:02:27We'll get an early start in the morning.
00:02:30Come on.
00:02:31I'll help you get supper started.
00:02:34I'm not hungry.
00:02:35I'm not hungry.
00:02:36I'm not hungry.
00:02:37I'm not hungry.
00:02:38I'm not hungry.
00:02:39I'm not hungry.
00:02:40I'm not hungry.
00:02:41I'm not hungry.
00:02:42I'm not hungry.
00:02:43I'm not hungry.
00:02:44I'll help you get supper started.
00:02:53Looks like they're alone, Trent.
00:02:55Just out for a little romantic ride in the country.
00:02:58Shouldn't we do a roundabout and make sure they're not part of a wagon train or something?
00:03:14I'm tired.
00:03:30A bottle of whiskey and a woman.
00:03:33One out of three ain't bad.
00:03:34What do you say?
00:03:35Enough talk.
00:03:37Let's make me rich today.
00:03:44I saw Buster ties his gun down.
00:03:51So do we.
00:03:52Yeah, but your average rancher don't tie his gun down, Mason, that's the point.
00:03:56What do you say, Trent?
00:04:02Some other time, maybe.
00:04:03Willie, bring some food.
00:04:04Willie, bring some forks when you come.
00:04:34Welcome, folks.
00:04:58Thank you, sir.
00:04:59Frank Taylorson, proud owner of the greatest general store in this parts.
00:05:03Oh, Missy LeHay, and this is my husband, Willie.
00:05:06Pleasure.
00:05:07You folks just passing through?
00:05:09Figuring on staying.
00:05:10Oh, well, that's good news to test for a junction.
00:05:14Well, if you could just show us the land office, Mr. Taylorson.
00:05:18Yes, sir.
00:05:19About two doors down.
00:05:21Goodbye.
00:05:24This is the track you'll be homesteading.
00:05:26Just north of the McLean place.
00:05:28See?
00:05:30There's the main creek threading through the middle with plenty of branches for the cattle
00:05:33to water.
00:05:34It's a good place to start a family.
00:05:36Here's the deed.
00:05:37I wish you folks the very best of luck.
00:05:41Many come, not many last.
00:05:43We'll last.
00:05:44With hard work and a lot of prayer.
00:05:45Just two gallons.
00:05:46What are you doing?
00:06:07Thanks to marrying you, it's the happiest day of my life.
00:06:26Our life.
00:06:27Missy LeHay, as God is my witness, I swear to work harder than any man to build you a
00:06:34home on this land.
00:06:36We'll raise a family and watch generations after generations of LeHay's thrive and prosper.
00:06:43Well, Willie, I have something to say about that.
00:06:47Hey, get back here!
00:06:49Get back here!
00:06:51Hey!
00:06:52I didn't see nothing, Mr. Owens!
00:06:57She can feed start early in these parts.
00:07:00That's the first child I've seen.
00:07:03Yep.
00:07:04Glad you brought all those books just for that one.
00:07:07I'm sure there are more.
00:07:11First, the ranch.
00:07:13Then teaching.
00:07:16Then everything else.
00:07:18Everything else?
00:07:19You know what I mean.
00:07:21What were you going to tell me before that chicken butted in?
00:07:24Just that...
00:07:28Then I'm happy too, Willie.
00:07:41Hello, young man.
00:07:43Howdy.
00:07:44I'm Missy LeHay.
00:07:46What's your name?
00:07:47Jeff Huff, ma'am.
00:07:48How old are you, Jeff Huff?
00:07:50Twelve years old, ma'am.
00:07:51Did you catch that chicken?
00:07:52No.
00:07:53Got distracted by your smooching.
00:07:56Sorry, ma'am.
00:07:57Well, I'm sorry we caused you to lose your chicken.
00:08:00It wasn't mine anyway.
00:08:02Just fooling around.
00:08:26Okay.
00:08:27Willie!
00:08:28Sonny, Sonny!
00:08:29Where have you been?
00:08:30I've been waiting so long for you to come back.
00:08:31Where have you been?
00:08:32Sonny!
00:08:33Where have you been, Sonny?
00:08:34Where have you been, Sonny?
00:08:35Ow.
00:08:36Leave him be.
00:08:37I mean it.
00:08:38I was just having a little fun with your little brother, Sonny.
00:08:39Take it easy, please.
00:08:40Sonny!
00:08:41Sonny!
00:08:42Sonny!
00:08:43Sonny!
00:08:44Sonny!
00:08:45Sonny!
00:08:46Sonny!
00:08:47Sonny!
00:08:48Sonny!
00:08:49Sonny!
00:08:50Sonny!
00:08:51Sonny!
00:08:52Sonny!
00:08:53Sonny!
00:08:54Why don't you and I go in and have a drink?
00:09:01Sonny?
00:09:04You can go play.
00:09:16Don't go embarrassing me like that.
00:09:18Sorry, Sonny.
00:09:20I got you something.
00:09:24I got you something.
00:09:34Easy there, Jeff.
00:09:36If that widow feeds you, I'll pay her good money.
00:09:38I don't like her there, Sonny.
00:09:39I don't like her there, Sonny.
00:09:40I wanna go with you.
00:09:42Yeah, well, you can't.
00:09:44I've already told you that a hundred times.
00:09:54I'll build you a house a lot better than that.
00:10:11Oh, no, really.
00:10:13This house is just fine.
00:10:15Let's go take a look.
00:10:22Humble as it may be, sweetheart,
00:10:51this is the first home of our own that we've ever had.
00:11:21No stove.
00:11:25I can use a fireplace.
00:11:27My cooking can't get any worse than it is right now.
00:11:37Lord, bless this house and all who enter.
00:11:41Amen.
00:11:51Amen.
00:12:07Dearest family,
00:12:09I miss you and the small creature comforts.
00:12:11Sometimes I can almost hear your voices in the soft prairie wind.
00:12:33I worry about Willie.
00:12:35He works with a ferocity that sometimes scares me.
00:12:37He's so concerned we won't be ready for winter.
00:12:43I've still not found the right time to tell him about the baby.
00:12:55Willie and I went riding over our land.
00:12:59What a beautiful place.
00:13:01I'm sure he'll be happy.
00:13:03Willie and I went riding over our land.
00:13:07What a beautiful country the Lord has made.
00:13:15Just the other day, we saw Indians on our ridgeline.
00:13:21Willie is very concerned for my safety,
00:13:23though there hasn't been any Indian attacks in years in these parts.
00:13:33I'm sure he'll be happy.
00:13:51Willie and I are sending you a treasure map
00:13:53to our hard-earned savings,
00:13:55which we just buried in the wilds of our new ranch.
00:14:03I certainly hope you never need to use it.
00:14:05I certainly hope you never need to use it.
00:14:15I certainly hope you never need to use it.
00:14:17He really doesn't trust banks out here.
00:14:19But then, this is a strange and wild place.
00:14:21But then, this is a strange and wild place.
00:14:29I've been punching cattle over three years, Mr. Lahaye.
00:14:31This experience is some, but more than others.
00:14:33Where are you from, Henry?
00:14:35What does that matter?
00:14:37I'm here now.
00:14:43All right.
00:14:45I suppose it's none of my business anyway.
00:14:47No offense.
00:14:49None taken.
00:14:51If you give me a job.
00:15:01I suppose it's none of my business anyway.
00:15:31I suppose it's none of my business anyway.
00:15:55How?

00:16:11How?
00:16:13What is that supposed to mean?
00:16:15You speak English.
00:16:17That's what they tell me.
00:16:19I'm Miriam Redhawk-McLean.
00:16:21I'm Miriam Redhawk-McLean.

00:16:45Done everything there is to do.
00:16:47Well, how come you haven't been hired by one of the big outfits?
00:16:49Well, how come you haven't been hired by one of the big outfits?
00:16:51I can't use this no more, so...
00:16:53I can't use this no more, so...
00:16:55most people think I'm washed up.
00:16:57most people think I'm washed up.
00:16:59But I learned to get by with my left.
00:17:01But I learned to get by with my left.
00:17:03You take me on, Mr. Lehane.
00:17:05I won't let you down.
00:17:07I won't let you down.
00:17:09I won't let you down.
00:17:11That is a job.
00:17:13That is a job.
00:17:21I'm just getting started.
00:17:23I'm just getting started.

00:17:27Trying to make this place into a home.
00:17:29Please, sit.
00:17:35I think I have one last jar
00:17:37I think I have one last jar
00:17:39of strawberry preserves
00:17:41that I've been saving
00:17:43for just such an occasion.
00:17:45of just such an occasion.
00:17:49Please.
00:17:51Here.
00:17:55Now, this here
00:17:57is a county fair blue ribbon winner.
00:18:05Mmm.
00:18:07Mmm.
00:18:09This is very good.
00:18:11You must teach me how to make this.
00:18:13My mother made it.
00:18:15I'm not a very good cook.
00:18:17When I was growing up,
00:18:19I mostly helped out my pa.
00:18:21Riding horses, plowing the field,
00:18:23tending to the chickens.
00:18:25Then you will do very well here.
00:18:27Many women who come here are soft.
00:18:29They don't know how to do these things.
00:18:31You do.
00:18:33Still, I feel that my husband would prefer a good meal.
00:18:37I brought you some things.
00:18:39It is too late to start a garden this year,
00:18:41so corn, potatoes, beets.
00:18:43Oh, thank you, Miriam.
00:18:45We are neighbors.
00:18:47The last family was here.
00:18:49Well, they could have asked us for more help,
00:18:51but...
00:18:53I think they feared my Shoshone ways.
00:18:55I think they feared my Shoshone ways.
00:18:57Well, my husband and I will be grateful
00:18:59for whatever help we can get.
00:19:01What is in there?
00:19:03The secret to flaky biscuits.
00:19:07Pig lard.
00:19:09Excuse me.
00:19:11Sorry.
00:19:31What do you think about these?
00:19:33Bring them.
00:19:39Would you be Mr. Lahaye?
00:19:41I would.
00:19:43Well, I am Finn Anders.
00:19:45I would like a job, sir, if please.
00:19:47What kind of farmer are you, son?
00:19:49I come from Norway on a boat
00:19:51to find adventure
00:19:53in the big wide open spaces.
00:19:55Well, you have any experience around cattle?
00:19:57No, sir.
00:19:59Well, I am big, strong.
00:20:01Own horse.
00:20:03Well, Finn Anders from Norway.
00:20:05This will be strictly trial basis.
00:20:08Hope you learn fast.
00:20:10Don't worry, Mr. Lahaye.
00:20:12I learn good and fast.
00:20:14You betcha.
00:20:23Good girl.
00:20:25The boys will love the jam.
00:20:27And still with their pop.
00:20:29You sure I can't give you any biscuits?
00:20:31No.
00:20:34Thank you, though.
00:20:36Well, maybe next time
00:20:38I'll make them with the pig lard.
00:20:41If I don't fretch.
00:20:47When you're ready to bring
00:20:49this little one into the world,
00:20:51I will be there.
00:20:53I've delivered many babies.
00:20:55Oh, Miriam, thank you.
00:21:07Shh.
00:21:11I'll bring some books for the boys.
00:21:13Good.
00:21:15I don't want them growing up illiterate
00:21:17like their pa.
00:21:19Very nice to meet you, neighbor.
00:21:21You too.
00:21:33Here comes trouble.
00:21:36Let's go.
00:21:44I, uh, heard you were hiring
00:21:46some cowpokes.
00:21:49Jobs are filled.
00:21:52Oh, this is a bunch you hired.
00:21:55You're really scratching the bottom of the barrel.
00:21:58Too bad you just couldn't have waited a bit.
00:22:00Hired some real men.
00:22:02So where would I find these real men?
00:22:04Me.
00:22:06Me and my boys.
00:22:10Not only can we rope
00:22:12and ride,
00:22:14but most important,
00:22:16we can shoot.
00:22:18Hey, mister.
00:22:20I bet you can't shoot worth nothing.
00:22:23Why don't I start with you?
00:22:26Trent, come on.
00:22:28Let's get out of here.
00:22:35We got some cows to drive.
00:22:37So watch them, and do likewise.
00:22:40You betcha, boss.
00:22:42Mr. Lahaye,
00:22:44how would you feel about
00:22:46hiring on another broke-down old cowboy?
00:22:48Well, I suppose I wouldn't feel
00:22:50so good about that, Mr...
00:22:52My name is Cookie.
00:22:54You're Cook.
00:22:56You're real quick.
00:22:58Afraid I can't afford another hand right now.
00:23:00Strictly on a trial basis.
00:23:03Come on, now!
00:23:17Get up there!
00:23:29Come on, now!
00:23:33Get up there!
00:23:38It's a beautiful herd, really.
00:23:51This way.
00:23:53Come on.
00:23:59Come on, now.
00:24:03Come on, now.
00:24:15How do, Mr. Haye?
00:24:29My dearest Missy,
00:24:31the prospect of being grandparents
00:24:33fills us with such joy and pride.
00:24:36I can only imagine
00:24:38how happy you must be.
00:24:40And by now, I'm sure you've shared the happy news
00:24:42with that hard-working son-in-law of mine.
00:24:45I can still remember
00:24:47the exact moment
00:24:49when your mother told me about you.
00:24:51I was standing in the kitchen, eating breakfast,
00:24:53and most of all,
00:24:55I remember how radiant
00:24:57your mother looked when she told me.
00:25:01And as for you, my strong daughter,
00:25:03I hope you are feeling well
00:25:05and that it is an easy pregnancy for you.
00:25:09I love you, darling.
00:25:32Mom!
00:25:43My wife and my initials.
00:25:49Fine idea, including her.
00:25:52All this would be nothing without her.
00:25:55Therefore, a man shall leave his father and mother,
00:25:58cleave to his wife.
00:26:00They shall be as one.
00:26:02Genesis. You know your Bible.
00:26:04Yes. Yes, good read material.
00:26:06Anyway, I'm happy for you.
00:26:08A good marriage, that's...
00:26:12something to be treasured.
00:26:14Speaking from experience?
00:26:19Scotty!
00:26:20What?
00:26:21Ready for another one?
00:26:22Not yet, yes. Hold on.
00:26:26What are you off to?
00:26:28Taking some books to our neighbors from the plains.
00:26:32Be back in a couple of hours.
00:26:45She sure is a better rider than I am.
00:26:49Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:26:56Buffalo.
00:26:57It ain't done by white men, neither.
00:27:00White men only take the pelt.
00:27:03Indians use just about everything.
00:27:05The hide, the meat, the horns, some of the bones.
00:27:08Yeah, in this scene I saw some Indians
00:27:10riding south last week.
00:27:13All this beef is better than this buffalo meat any day.
00:27:16Well, there ain't been engine trouble
00:27:18in these parts for quite a while.
00:27:20Yeah.
00:27:21Buffalo meat any day.
00:27:22Well, there ain't been engine trouble
00:27:23in these parts for quite a while.
00:27:25Let's tell the boys.
00:27:51Lord, give this horse wings to fly.
00:28:22Ten.
00:28:24Fussbell, Scotty.
00:28:25There's some sick cows that need to be brought in.
00:28:27Yes, boss.
00:28:29Is Mrs. LaHaye in the house?
00:28:31No, sir.
00:28:32She up and took some books over
00:28:34to your neighbors in McLean.
00:28:43Marty.
00:28:44Yes, sir?
00:28:45We've got a problem.
00:28:46We've got a problem.
00:28:47We've got a problem.
00:28:48We've got a problem.
00:28:50Watch your shoulder, Brad.
00:29:08Hurry up.
00:29:19Hurry up.
00:29:33You are safe here, Mrs. LaHaye.
00:29:39I'm so sorry.
00:29:40I'm so sorry.
00:29:44Putting a scare into this poor woman.
00:29:46We were just having a little fun.
00:29:48You listen to Sharp Claw.
00:29:53Is it trouble you want for us?
00:29:57My apologies, Mrs. LaHaye.
00:30:01You see, this is my brother, Sharp Claw.
00:30:06I give you my word, Mrs. LaHaye.
00:30:08My young hunters meant no harm
00:30:10except to laugh at your expense.
00:30:12Their proper behavior when they saw you
00:30:14should have been to make sure
00:30:16that you arrived at your destination safely.
00:30:20Especially a woman in your condition.
00:30:23Oh.
00:30:30And this is my husband, Sean.
00:30:35It's a pleasure to meet you, madam.
00:30:37Nice meeting you.
00:30:39And Robert and Bruce.
00:30:42Hello, boys.
00:30:44Please.
00:30:46Let's go.
00:31:17Can we take our books?
00:31:19Yes, they're yours.
00:31:26Children, these are the same books
00:31:29used in almost every school in America.
00:31:33Who is this McGuffey?
00:31:35An Ohio schoolmaster who felt a burden from God
00:31:38to teach all American children how to read.
00:31:41American children?
00:31:43Yes, sir.
00:31:44And that includes those whom our late President Lincoln
00:31:47called Native American.
00:31:51Thank you, Mrs. LaHaye.
00:31:53Now, you all have your books.
00:31:55All you men and children out.
00:31:58We have women's business to talk about.
00:32:00We have women's business to talk about.
00:32:30Yes.
00:32:53Sherpa!
00:32:57Over there.
00:32:59Come in, Bruce.
00:33:00Come in.
00:33:08Willie.
00:33:10This is Miriam.
00:33:12And her husband, Sean.
00:33:14And her brother, Sharpclaw.
00:33:18We're on our way to the mountains.
00:33:21We intend only to take some buffalo.
00:33:24I have given strict orders that no cattle are to be harmed
00:33:27and those orders will be obeyed.
00:33:32Are you ready to go home, Missy?
00:33:37Mr. McClain?
00:33:39Mrs. McClain?
00:33:43Sharpclaw?
00:33:49Goodbye. Thank you.
00:33:50Goodbye.
00:34:13Hold her down, old boy.
00:34:14Uh-huh.
00:34:15She'll be good in a couple of weeks.
00:34:18Uh-huh.
00:34:23First time I ever seen him go like that.
00:34:40Just what did you think you were doing, Missy?
00:34:42I was taking some McGuffey readers over to the McClains.
00:34:45Miriam asked me to teach her children how to read.
00:34:47How come you never told me about Miriam's visit?
00:34:51I'm worried about you riding alone.
00:34:53It's too dangerous. You won't be doing this again, Missy.
00:34:55Oh, yes, I will.
00:34:57Oh, no, you won't.
00:34:58Oh, yes, I will.
00:35:09Missy.
00:35:12Sweetheart.
00:35:15Do you miss teaching this much?
00:35:20No, that's not why I'm crying.
00:35:23Then why?
00:35:25Because I truly believe that the Lord sent Miriam McClain to us.
00:35:32Then why would he do a thing like that?
00:35:36To bring our baby into the world.
00:35:41Healthy.
00:35:43And hearty.
00:35:46Our baby?
00:35:53Missy.
00:35:55No, please, Willie, don't worry.
00:35:57Miriam will be my midwife.
00:35:59She's delivered all the babies in her village for many years.
00:36:03Our baby.
00:36:05Oh, Willie, aren't you happy?
00:36:08The happiest man alive.
00:36:16Oh, Willie.
00:36:19Good rub?
00:36:20Cookie.
00:36:22Very good.
00:36:23Perfect for a brisk night like this.
00:36:25Here's a blanket to keep off the cold.
00:36:28Don't give her that old horse blanket.
00:36:30You, uh, you take mine, Mrs. O'Hare.
00:36:34No, well, thank you both, but I'm fine.
00:36:38You told them?
00:36:41I'd like to raise a coffee cup to, uh,
00:36:45as soon as it's as strong as we got,
00:36:47to Mr. and Mrs. LaHaye and their happy news.
00:36:51So say we all.
00:36:52So say we all.
00:37:03Willie.
00:37:07What is it? I'm awake.
00:37:10They were just so kind and concerned tonight.
00:37:16The hens?
00:37:19Yeah.
00:37:24What about their families?
00:37:28I really don't know much about them.
00:37:32But they're good workers.
00:37:34That's the most important thing.
00:37:37Shouldn't we know if they have families or not?
00:37:41Let me see.
00:37:44Lots of times cowboys come out here
00:37:47to get away from things.
00:37:50We gotta respect that.
00:37:55Still, it seems like such a lonely life.
00:38:06You're gonna be a wonderful mother.
00:38:37Hey.
00:38:40What's up?
00:38:41Well, just like you figured, they're all by the lonesome.
00:38:45Must make me a risk tonight.
00:38:47Come on.
00:39:05Willie says you know the good book.
00:39:08Sunday mornings, my husband and I read the Bible and pray together.
00:39:11You're invited to join us.
00:39:13Well, thank you, Mrs. LaHaye, but, uh,
00:39:16I have to go.
00:39:17Aren't you a church-going man, Henry?
00:39:19Actually, I used to be a preacher.
00:39:22A preacher?
00:39:23Yeah, well,
00:39:25the Lord giveth,
00:39:28and the Lord taketh away.
00:39:32What did he take away from you?
00:39:36Something very special.
00:39:38My wife.
00:39:47Ben!
00:39:49Come here.
00:39:51I need you to reshoot his horse.
00:39:53Yes, boss.
00:40:17Good morning, Mrs. McClain.
00:40:21Mr. LaHaye.
00:40:26You and Missy going into town today?
00:40:28Yes, we are.
00:40:31Mrs. McClain, I know when we first met, I was...
00:40:34Out here, neighbors need one another, Mr. LaHaye.
00:40:38Well, I couldn't agree more.
00:40:41Please.
00:41:12Basically.
00:41:14Just take it up.
00:41:17You make it look so easy, Sonny.
00:41:21Well, I've practiced lots of hours to make it look like that.
00:41:25Okay, come here.
00:41:27Remember how I showed you? Coil it in your left hand.
00:41:29Like that. Make sure there ain't no kinks in the line.
00:41:32This is the noose.
00:41:34Okay?
00:41:37Let's see what you got.
00:41:46Loosen your wrist.
00:41:48When you're ready, cast it off.
00:41:52Missed again.
00:41:54It's all right. Keep practicing.
00:41:55Get another rope.
00:42:05Good day.
00:42:09I'm Missy LaHaye.
00:42:11He seems like a nice boy.
00:42:13My brother.
00:42:15I'm glad to hear that he has family.
00:42:17I've been a little worried about him.
00:42:19He's fine.
00:42:21And your mother and father?
00:42:25They're gone.
00:42:27No offense, ma'am, but...
00:42:29It ain't your business worrying about someone who's not your kin.
00:42:32It's just Christian charity, Mr. Huff.
00:42:39I hope we're not interrupting you, ma'am.
00:42:42What do you want, Trent?
00:42:45I think you better get saddled up.
00:42:48We got some riding to do.
00:42:57Sonny! I did it!
00:42:59I roped the post!
00:43:01Gotta go now.
00:43:03Behave yourself. Keep practicing.
00:43:05You'll be back, though.
00:43:07You know it.
00:43:09Got my rope.
00:43:14Sonny!
00:43:28Has Sonny gone a lot?
00:43:30It's his job.
00:43:32He's making money so we can have a ranch of our own someday.
00:43:36He sounds like a very good brother.
00:43:45Ah!
00:43:49Ah!
00:43:52Ah!
00:43:54Brought yourself a strong breed.
00:43:56Yeah, we'll know more after roundup.
00:43:59Let's call it a day.
00:44:09Now, children,
00:44:11and Mr. McLean,
00:44:13I want you to write these letters on your slates,
00:44:16and then sound them out.
00:44:18And when you know them,
00:44:20you'll have mastered the entire alphabet.
00:44:24Help each other out now.
00:44:31The weather's turning cold,
00:44:33and Sharpclaw and his camp will be leaving tomorrow,
00:44:37and you probably shouldn't get a chill riding over.
00:44:40So, this is my last class for a while.
00:44:43The children have learned much from you, Mrs. LeHay.
00:44:56Keep at it, Mr. McLean.
00:45:00Having a turbulent time finding a word that starts with an X.
00:45:04That is a difficult letter.
00:45:05Sean's always used an X to sign his name.
00:45:08Well, not for much longer.
00:45:25Snow will be coming soon.
00:45:28Now, remember,
00:45:30really sound out the words with them.
00:45:35And when you come back,
00:45:37you'll be ready for the advanced readers.
00:45:39I'll keep them on.
00:45:41Good.
00:45:43God go with you and your family, Sharpclaw.
00:45:48Miriam,
00:45:50I'll be seeing you.
00:45:52Yes, you will.
00:45:54Safe travels.
00:45:58Goodbye.
00:46:01Come on.
00:46:06Willie and the ranch hands have worked hard
00:46:09to ensure the livestock survive the long winter.
00:46:15Cookie and I have prepared the soil for a large garden next spring.
00:46:19I so enjoy his companionship.
00:46:21And his cooking.
00:46:36It's all coming together.
00:46:38It's beginning to feel like
00:46:40home.
00:46:52Now, as we wait for snow,
00:46:54the ranch hands have time to go into town
00:46:56for some well-deserved relaxation.
00:47:00Don't tell us what you got.
00:47:02I'm a Greek.
00:47:03I'm a Greek.
00:47:11As for Willie,
00:47:13he still works harder than anyone.
00:47:21Maybe more now, knowing the baby's coming.
00:47:29As we prepare for winter,
00:47:30I'm reminded of Isaiah
00:47:32preparing the way for our Savior's birth.
00:47:35And I think warmly of all of you
00:47:37as Christmas approaches.
00:47:51Are you warm enough?
00:47:53I'm fine.
00:47:55Why are you always so warm?
00:47:57Even your feet.
00:47:58Someone's got to warm the icy toes of yours.
00:48:04I guess that's why we're a perfect match.
00:48:07The sky looks like snow.
00:48:09We're lucky it held off this long.
00:48:13You know, I was thinking today,
00:48:15this is going to be our first Christmas
00:48:17in this house, Willie.
00:48:20I bet you miss your family.
00:48:22All those family traditions you talk about.
00:48:25Sure, I miss them.
00:48:29But we'll start new traditions here.
00:48:32Well, with the weather settling in,
00:48:34this might be our last chance
00:48:36to get into town for a while.
00:48:38Better tell Santa what you want for Christmas.
00:48:40No, nothing store-bought.
00:48:42That would be just a waste of money.
00:48:45Well, what then?
00:48:49All I want for Christmas
00:48:51is to be surrounded by the people we care about.
00:48:59Hmm.
00:49:07This year's mine.
00:49:09No.
00:49:14You got the watch.
00:49:17I got the watch
00:49:20because mine broke.
00:49:23It's a practical thing.
00:49:25I have to know the time
00:49:26in order to steal.
00:49:30Give me more money.
00:49:33No.
00:49:36You got two brooches and a watch
00:49:38and I don't got none of that.
00:49:40I got two salt and pepper shaker and...
00:49:42You ever wish you had a place
00:49:44to call your own?
00:49:45No.
00:49:56A bit more coffee.
00:50:11May I?
00:50:12Well,
00:50:14Mrs. Lehay would like to say something.
00:50:17Well, as you all know,
00:50:19Christmas will be here before we know it.
00:50:21Santa Claus will never find us
00:50:23all the way out here, I bet.
00:50:25But he will if my wife
00:50:27has anything to say about it.
00:50:29Willie and I would like to
00:50:31cordially invite you all
00:50:33to Christmas dinner.
00:50:35Unless you have other places to be.
00:50:42Well, then, that settles it.
00:50:44Christmas dinner with all the trimmings.
00:50:46Trimmings?
00:50:48Now, where do you rustle up
00:50:50some of those?
00:50:52Well, I was hoping you might
00:50:54help me, Cookie.
00:51:01Here you go.
00:51:03I got that.
00:51:05Mrs. Lehay, Mrs. Lehay!
00:51:07Jeff, what is it?
00:51:09Mrs. Lehay, I got something
00:51:10for you and me.
00:51:12What's it say?
00:51:14Not sure.
00:51:17Come here.
00:51:31Dear little brother,
00:51:33it's real hot here.
00:51:35I'll bring you some beans
00:51:37that jump all by themselves.
00:51:38And I'll see you after Christmas.
00:51:40Sorry.
00:51:46Best be going, Missy.
00:51:49Well,
00:51:51thank you, Mrs. Lehay.
00:51:53Boy's got one speed.
00:51:55Run it.
00:52:01By the time this arrives,
00:52:03I expect it will be nigh
00:52:05on to Christmas.
00:52:07I think on how long
00:52:09the world lay in darkness
00:52:11before the light of day.
00:52:13I think on how long
00:52:15the world lay in darkness
00:52:17before the light of day.
00:52:19I think on how long
00:52:20the world lay in darkness
00:52:22before the light of the world
00:52:24was born in that humble little stable.
00:52:27We have been blessed
00:52:29to receive his light.
00:52:31Not only to live and hope ourselves,
00:52:33but to take hope to others.
00:52:35I am sending you something
00:52:37which I know you'll remember
00:52:39from many Christmases past.
00:52:41May it start a new tradition
00:52:43in the Lehay household
00:52:45and remind you we are there in spirit,
00:52:47sharing your first Christmas
00:52:48on the ranch.
00:52:50And know we will miss you,
00:52:52but our hearts
00:52:54are forever knit together in love.
00:53:09Take it around.
00:53:11Henry, around.
00:53:13Here.
00:53:15Come on, Fred.
00:53:16Hurry up.
00:53:21I just don't understand
00:53:23why Willie had to go into town
00:53:25on Christmas Eve.
00:53:27I'm sure he'd be along shortly, ma'am.
00:53:30Well...
00:53:35Willie Lehay,
00:53:37where have you been?
00:53:39It's Christmas Eve!
00:53:41I know.
00:53:43There's gonna be one more
00:53:45Merry Christmas, Miss Lehay.
00:53:48Merry Christmas, Jeff.
00:53:58Please come in, come in.
00:54:10There's just one thing missing.
00:54:14What?
00:54:24This star
00:54:26stood on top of every Christmas tree
00:54:28we had when I was growing up.
00:54:32Go ahead.
00:54:37Here you go, little man.
00:54:40Come on.
00:55:11Mrs. Lehay, this is
00:55:12the best Christmas dinner I've had
00:55:14in many a year.
00:55:16Many a year?
00:55:18It's the best one I ever had.
00:55:20Well, thank you,
00:55:22but I couldn't have done it without Cookie.
00:55:24Well, thank you, ma'am.
00:55:28How's it time to open presents?
00:55:30Presents?
00:55:34Yes, Jeff,
00:55:36I think now it's time to open presents.
00:55:42Okay, let's see,
00:55:44Ben,
00:55:49Scotty,
00:55:52Henry,
00:55:56and Jeff,
00:55:58oh, me,
00:56:00and Cookie.
00:56:04Well, go ahead, open them up.
00:56:12Oh.
00:56:26Thank you, Mrs. Lehay.
00:56:30This is the best Christmas I ever had.
00:56:33Me too.
00:56:37What is it, Scotty?
00:56:39This is the
00:56:41best Christmas present I ever got.
00:56:52Well, gentlemen,
00:56:54I know how you all feel about Bible reading,
00:56:56but it wouldn't be Christmas without it.
00:56:59So, you are welcome to stay,
00:57:01but if you want to leave...
00:57:03I believe I'd like to stay, ma'am.
00:57:06Yeah,
00:57:08I'd like to stay too.
00:57:10Me too, ma'am.
00:57:18Gospel according to Luke.
00:57:29And so,
00:57:31Joseph went up from Galilee
00:57:33to the city of Nazareth,
00:57:35to Judea,
00:57:37to be enrolled with Mary,
00:57:38his betrothed,
00:57:40who was with child.
00:57:42And while they were there,
00:57:44the time came for her to be delivered.
00:57:46And she gave birth to her firstborn son.
00:57:48And she wrapped him in swaddling clothes
00:57:50and laid him in a manger.
00:57:52And an angel of the Lord
00:57:54appeared above them,
00:57:56and the glory of the Lord shone around them.
00:57:58And they were filled with fear.
00:58:00And the angel said to them,

01:21:48Who knows what the next year will bring? I am confident the love of God and family will light our path
01:21:55And a renewed faith in the words
01:21:57For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven
01:22:24You
