| My Texas TEXAS....where the Tea is SWEET and accents are sweeter, Summer starts in April, front porches are wide and words are long, Macaroni & Cheese is a vegetable, BBQ is the state food, y'all is a proper pronoun, chicken is fried, biscuits come with gravy, everyone is honey, someone is always getting their heart blessed and we are all "fixin" to do something. Repost if you are proud to be from Texas or tell me about your state! |

| You are lucky to live in a warm State. When My Husband retires we may move to Florida. I love Spring, Summer and Fall in Indiana but Winter stinks. I do like the changing of the seasons though and I love our fall festivals and festivities. Indianapolis is really big on festivals and events all year long.

I love my Texas too....but, a couple of things I couldn't get use too; the hot weather and mosquitoes. As Texans say there only two Seasons; Christmas and Summer I'll add no one has hearts as bit as the people in Texas.

| 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.

| Oh, I love this big, relaxed, friendly state and all its diverse people, our easy lifestyle, head square-on-the shoulders nononsense men who still open doors for the ladies and where one doesn't have to be a trustfund baby to afford a lovely home with acerage and drive and park one's own car. The money we save on those big ticket expenses goes toward shopping trips to Neiman's. Our summers are hot but they don't stop a real Texan and our winters are easy with just enough snow and ice to give a rich flavor to the season. I love sitting on my porch sipping sweet tea with mint and enjoying a way of life that largely hasn't succumbed to the high-tech rat race of the new millenium unless you drive into Dallas proper! I'm no cowgirl but I have always loved horses and even had the great pleasure of having my own for years, stabling him with friends only a few miles into the country. Nothing like racing through the countryside astride a beautiful, sleek animal with the wind whipping your hair like an East Texas tornado to clear out the cobwebs! Hill-country weddings at a rustic lodge are a hoot with all the carousing and dancing and you gotta love a cowboy weekend at a friend's ranch for great cuisine from the chuckwagon chef right out on the prairie with a fireside singalong as a few of the boys strum their guitars late into the warm night beneath the huge, limitless starfilled sky of Texas. Texas is a state of mind, it's true, but it is lovely to get to live Texas all one's life.

Miss the Ft. Worth Stockyards on Chisum Trail Days.....blocking off the streets...Grapefest in Grapevine...Great Food (yep! women still home cook, it's a matter of pride). Love smokers......great way of cooking...... I never locked my door in the 16 years I lived there. Parents still instill manners into their children and teach them respect and civility. The still address you as Mr. & Mrs. Although, there is nothing taught about children should be seen and not heard. There is a sense of confidence in them without the attitude. It is an easier way of life; God Bless Texas. Hill Country is beautiful, East Texas has wonderful trees.....Yeah! the land is pretty flat, (the highest place in Texas in the hood of your car) and it takes forever to get from one end of the state to the other and if you don't like the weather stick around 5 minutes it'll change.....but, you can't beat those big hearted Texans.

| Texas is a wonderful state. As a child my grandparents had a house in Corpus Christi and my mom, brother and I lived there for awhile. Later they got a farm in Aransas Pass, TX and we lived there some on and off. My other grandparents had a big farm in Karnes City, TX. I always loved going there. Other places in Texas where I have lived are Austin, Houston, Spring, Tomball, Humble, Splendora and Warren. I have lived here in Warren, TX now for about 11 years and I love it here. We live on 6 acres out in the country. I have visited many other places in Texas. My parent retired in Kerrville and I loved going to visit them when they were living. After my dad died my mom moved to San Antonio and I would go there to visit her. There are just so many wonderful places to visit in Texas. Of course I have lived in other states too, California, Louisiana and Virgina. I guess I am just happy to be in America. There are many wonderful states that I have yet to visit but perhaps one day I will.
