As I get things organized for the coming year, I wanted to let you know this new blog will be just what the title suggests. I will be blogging about this wonderful place we live, Texas. Those of you who know me know of my book, Texas in Her Own Words. I have been blessed to have traveled this extraordinary place and spoken with her even more extraordinary people. What started as a love has turned into a passion. I love spreading what I call the ‘Gospel of Texas’ I hope you will choose to follow my comments & observations of the great state of Texas. Some will be comical, some poignant, others just an observation or two. I am certainly open to your responses. We’ll get started shortly. In the meantime, take care of your precious selves.
There truly is something special about Texas. The pride you carry from living in Texas, being a Native Texan, and when asked where you are from, all you gotta do is say Texas. People will turn and look to see if you are wearing a six-shooter, boots, or hat. While on vacation once in Florida, my wife and I stopped to buy some peaches from a makeshift stand along side of the road… he spotted our Texas plates on the ’81 Buick, commented on the nice “UP-hole-stree” and quickly offered us a trade. He was willing to trade all…I said ALL of his peach trees for just one of my oil wells. Looked him square in the eye, had him repeat it for clarification….which he did, and I told him….. I would get back with him on our next trip.
Asking questions are really fastidious thing if you are not understanding anything totally, but this
