Looking for a lost story

Several years ago I was reading a story. The two main character - one was manager of a ranch and the other was an architect.  They adopted two teenage boys. One was actually 1/2 brother of the ranch manager.  The other boy was the paper boy.  The family eventually opened a Computer store and were building a ranch house out in the country - moving out of their condo in a high rise. The story stopped and now seems to have disappeared from the internet. Of course I cannot remember the name.  Does any of these facts trigger an answer?  I would love to read the story again. It was pretty good.  THANKS.

It sounds familiar, but I can't place the name or author.  Hopefully someone else here will remember.

The story is called "Tales From the Ranch."  The author is the late David Dillon, writing under the pen name "Tulsa Driller."  There are 55 chapters in Book 1 of Tales from the Ranch, and 20 chapters of Book 2 were written before David's untimely death.  The first two chapters of Book 1 feature the sons of the ranch owner; then the focus starts shifting to the two main characters of the rest of the story, Dale and Craig.

Cia or Myr or Renee Stevens, or another admin, do I have permission to mention the two websites where this story is located?  I am almost certain David Dillon/Tulsa Driller never posted the story on GA.

The most readable version is at: http://storycove.us/  after which you have to click "Complete Author List," then choose Tulsa Driller, then click Tales From the Ranch, then click "enter", then on the upper right click "Chapter/Page", then go to the selected chapter.

On Nifty, go to:        http://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/rural/tales-from-the-ranch/     and select the chapter.

 

The format is much easier to read on StoryCove.us, but harder to start reading.
