| My Texas Page This page is for those who have questions about or are interested in Texas. I put it here because I am from Texas and proud of that fact. Now that does not mean I am a 'cowboy.' Not by a long shot. But like someone once said in a song..."I may not wear a Stetson, but I'm willing to bet son, I'm as big a Texan as you are. There's a girl with barefeet, laying in the backseat and the trunks' full of Shiner Bock and Lone Star!' I have been all over the country, from New York to Seattle, Florida to California and all places in between, but Texas always has been and always will be home. |
