The Beginning “Your Fired!” said Mr. Frankenbanana. “Fine”,

my dad said. “I don’t need this crummy place anyways”. “I only get paid two cents an hour”. When my dad got home he had told us what had happened. So, we were off to start a new life in Austin’s colony.

Our Journey to the new home

We rode on horses, I rode with my dad and my sister rode with my mom. We needed a new start so we got a lawyer to qualify are land, we received 1600 acres of land. It was a good trip not too long. It took us 3 weeks. And we didn’t experience any difficulties. It was quite a pleasant trip.

1823

A year had passed since we had moved to the colony. My mom called us for dinner, we had some nice bread with hot beef. “mm mmm” we all said.

1823

My dad had invested in cattle this year. Which was smart because all the new people coming were hungry, and one again he had made quite a good profit. We had a blessed year once again.

Our Profit

We only had 1 troubled time through out our life in Gonzales, it was when some natives came and took some food and supplies nothing serious. My family made 4500$ total throughout are three years.

My life

I Decided to stay in Gonzales the rest of my life, I got married and had 7 kids they all grew up successful and I died happily ever ever.
