I can relate to quite a few of them! We even have the armadillos here. In the past few years we've had more and more. As far as I'm concerned they should be fenced and kept in Texas!!!!

Very funny!!! Thanks for sharing it, Marilyn!!!

We share a lot of traits with much of the lower 48, but we claim they are our originals. Our daughter who went to a Christian college in Arkansas and met people from all over the country, and the world, said that people don't like, and make fun of, people from Texas because of our state pride.

We won't apologize for it. After all, we are Texans!! If we'd been living in another state when I was pregnant, I would have wanted to come home so that our daughters would have been native Texans. Thank goodness, we didn't have to move. I know it sounds crazy, but most of us who have been here for a couple of generations or more just love our state. As you should love yours.

Is the people not liking Texans part really true??

Those are funny Marilyn. No, I do not dislike Texas, but I guess there are probably some people who do. You can't please everyone, lol. I've actually never been to Texas, but it sounds like you really love it there. Maybe I'll have to go there some day just to see what it's like.

I've been to Texas and love it. I do have to say though, that some of the people I met were afraid more "yankees" were intending to move there. When I explained that I was just there for a visit, they were much nicer. That was about 20 years ago.

I went to a Beer Barn, Billy Bob's, and the grave site-s of Bonnie and Clyde. Great visit!!

I've never been to Texas although I grew up wanting to be a cowboys cheerleader . I remember mom coming back from a training session for her carpet cleaning business (many years ago) & saying she didn't get to see anything except brown grass & lizards. I have a very good friend who lives in Amarillo. I may go visit her someday.

I went to visit a friend in Dallas for a week. It was great! I don't remember (slept since then) exactly where the graves are, if they are in Dallas or nearby. She took me to this place one evening that you could see the lights of Dallas and another city...I think Ft. Worth, but don't remember the other city for sure.

I did get to walk around the South Fork Ranch from the TV show Dallas. I only missed 2 episodes during the 13 year run. My favorite show!!

Yeah I was doing so much training I didn't get to see anything. I really had a hard time breathing because of my asthma. It is not as bad now so maybe it would be better now. Janet, I used to watch Dallas all the time too. I would have loved to see South Fork.
