I moved to Maryland from Texas about 5 1/2 years ago. It was a culture shock to say the least. Everything was completely different. 5 1/2 years later we have become accustomed to the ways of Maryland but I can not wait to be able to moved back to Texas. I sure do miss it. So, in honor of my home state, my Thursday 13 is all about the greatness of Texas!
13 Things I Love About Texas!
- The wide open spaces
- Texas has beaches, deserts, and everything in between, even mountains
- Everyday is a great day for a cookout regardless of the weather
- Tex-Mex Food!
- Barbecue
- The Alamo
- No state income
- The Dallas Cowboys (even despite last week’s lost)
- Texas used to be it’s own country
- High School football
- The winters - what winters?
- My family lives in Texas
- People are friendlier than people in Maryland

Great list! I have visited Texas a couple of times and really enjoyed it.

I moved to the Dallas area earlier this year. I know where some good barbecue places are, but where is the good Tex Mex. I am grasping at straws you might not even live near Dallas, but you mentioned the Cowboys. Happy TT.

These all sound reall good, but I wonder how they would compare to that of Sydney, Australia??
Have a great TT, and a very Merry Christmas!

Yep, Texas is a wonderful place. I agree. I wouldn’t mind moving there, but I think my family wouldn’t care for that. Have a great TT.

I’m not from Texas or even in Texas, but dang I totally agree with the Tex-Mex food. Yum!
My TT is up too if you want to check it out.

Texans are allowed to go on like that. I feel the same way about Florida, but when I say so, people just laugh!

I’m Texan….and I’m one of the lucky ones living on the beach. But I got a kick out of the Dallas Cowboys —Jessica Simpson, stay home!!!!!!!!
Happy 13ing.

I liked Texas. I even wrote a book about traveling there on my motorpickle.
My TT was about the solstice this week.

This is not a lame-o TT!
I miss Texas, a lot, but sadly even Texas isn’t large enough to contain both me and my stepfather and his daughter. So I live in Ohio.
When we moved from Austin to Missouri about 15 years ago, it was quite the culture shock! I can so relate!
Happy holidays,
Lori
