Have only driven thru the upper panhandle of TX. a few times but I'm sure there must be prettier parts than that dry flat land.
Were I come from we sit on porches, say "yall" call a sack a poke, pick our own dandelion leaves to make salads, learn to drive on mountains and hair-pin curves, have kin that are real mountain folks and some still make moonshine, other kin working in coal mines all week and get together on someones porch on Sat. for fiddle playing and dancing, and church on Sunday then home to cook fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy & corn on the cob, all raised in the back yard.
Now I live in CA. where I don't know many who even cook, we all invite people to "do" lunch with us in our favorite restaurant, we love shopping, festivals, plays, the beach, back yard BBQ's, visiting fantastic San Francisco, Sequoia mountains, and all the wonderful quaint towns up and down the coast line, riding bikes, rollerblading. We also have the best weather in the US right here on the central coast. Wouldn't trade places with anyone.
