An American family helped me cross from Tijuana into the US without being seen. #USA #ranch

I hadn't been tempted to head north until I saw my friends go there #ranch

I'd get together with my friends from the ranch and we'd go to Tijuana together. #ranch #countryside

I think I was a vagrant because I was always out of the house and nobody looked after me. #ranch

I ran into two friends from the ranch in Tijuana and they helped me get back to my #ranch.

For no reason at all, the older prisoners beat us younger ones; it was very unfair. #countryside ...

My friend abandoned me and left me alone in Tijuana, and that same day I was thrown in jail. #ran...

Hay que tener cuidado aquí en TIJUANA porque nos llevan AL BOTE y a comer CALDO DE OSO. #rancho

To earn a living, we would travel from Zacatecas to Guadalajara on tractors. #ranch

Mrs. Raquel makes a lot of food and generously shares it with the people of the ranch.

The food for Mrs. Raquel's party is ready. #ranch #countryside #oldfashioned

Sometimes I get depressed and don't want to go out, but this is my best therapy. #ranch #countryside

I thought my best years were with my ex-husband, but NO. #oldfashioned #ranch

Y como se lo prometimos, le compramos su ANDADERA a Don José. #alaantigüita #rancho #campo

People sent food and supplies to Don José, who lives alone in his little house. #ranch #countryside

We visited Don José again, and this time he had a SURPRISE. #ranch #mexicancountryside #oldfashioned

If I didn't know what MARRIAGE was, I would have already found 20 boyfriends. #ranch #oldfashioned

I've been separated from a man for 26 years, and yet I'm not alone; I have God the Father with me...

Sometimes, because of so many problems, I want to give up, but thank God I'm still here.

People tell me that at 67 I still look good, but inside I feel rotten.

Doña Raquel turned 67 and proudly says she's lived a life well. #ranch #countryside #party

Don José Luis stole some flowers from another garden to make a bouquet for Doña Raquel. #ranch

My taste is mine, and who can take it away from me? #ranch #mountains #donkey #Mexicancountryside

I don't put my feet in the stirrup because this donkey repairs. #donkey #countryside #mountains #...

Mrs. Eloisa works every single day of the year without fail. #ranch #oldfashioned #Mexicancountry...

Mrs. Eloisa uses this stick to hit customers who don't want to pay. #humor #ranch

This stone is specially made for grinding chili peppers and spices, that's why it's red. #ranch #...

We found more cows than Doña Raquel originally had. #ranch #cows #countryside #cattle

Don José Luis finally fulfilled Doña Raquel's promise to give salt to her cows. #cattle #cows

After a long journey, we finally found Doña Raquel's cows. #cattle #cows #ranch

This is the LONG WAY this woman travels EVERY DAY to check on her cattle. #ranch #countryside

This is one of the WORST PESTS found in the countryside and is difficult to eliminate. #countrysi...

Because she didn't study, Doña Raquel's daughter has to take care of her animals. #ranch

With the drone we managed to spot some cattle near a pond; it must be Doña Raquel's. #cattle #cows

The huizache, a plant with thorns that humans cannot touch but cattle can eat.

My mom is my greatest pride; when I grow up, I want to be just like her. #ranch #countryside #mou...

My mom used to work the mill while she was holding me, and the sound relaxes me. #work #ranch

We have a special stone depending on what we're going to grind. #oldfashioned #mexicancountryside

These are the stones we use for grinding in the mill. #ranch #mexicancountryside #oldfashioned

People think my job is easy, but it's actually complicated. #oldschool #work

The first time I picked up the mill, I already felt like I'd broken it. #oldfashioned #work

Few women bring nixtamal to the mill to be ground anymore; it's not like it used to be. #nixtamal

For me, as a woman, it's very satisfying to WORK and always BRING IN MONEY. #oldfashioned #work

When I met my husband, I thought he was already married, so I nicknamed him "Old Fool." #ranch #c...

My husband told me, "If you want money, there's the mill; that's where it'll come from." #ranch #...

I'm proudly from the ranch and I'm used to working hard. #ranch #oldfashioned #countryside #fyp

For a marriage to be balanced, both the man and the woman must WORK. #ranch #countryside

In my hometown, they used to say that women 30 and older were destined to be spinsters. #ranch
