Texas - A Big State of Mind!

Well, this week I wrap up my Texas Travels for a week or two. In the last two weeks alone I have gone to Waco, Fort Worth, Wichita Falls, Arlington, Grand Prairie, Ellis, San Marcos and San Antonio! I have driven over 1000 miles in the last week. And this week I am going to Austin, our state capitol. Now, 1000 miles, lets think about that...that is a LONG WAY. And I never even left the state.

We saw the changing scenery of Texas...pine trees, to wind swept oaks, to barren prairie land, to scrub brush. This is why I love Texas. Where else can you see such a variety of land and the beauty of God manifest? Now don't get me wrong, there are places I could do without, but really...it's all part of who we are...Texans.

So as this glorious sunny day progresses, think back to some of your wonderful memories of our Lone Star State and feel all the pride that comes with being a Texan. And...never forget a road map!

1000 miles in a week! With that kind of travel, you should never lease a car, because you'll lose money! :)

I love Texas, too. I realize we Texans must sound so narrow-minded, but it really is a great place to live. From the Gulf to Big Bend, we've got so much diversity! So maybe it's a little boastful, but I think Texas is worth boasting about!
