    What a wonderful idea! I came here years ago from North Carolina and Texas has been in my blood since. I love living here, and it's hard to think of living anywhere else.

    My writing has been off for awhile now, but I'm putting this in my favorites just in case my muse comes riding back on my buckskin she rode off on a few months ago. In the meantime, good luck with your contest. Patricia

    Texas is where I left my home and heart. Being native Texan, I get homesick away from it. Fortunately, I'm only a hop and a skip from the border Still gotta visit Mom every now and then... I might be able to think of some things..
