What I've Learned.....

The past 6 days have been hectic and busy.  Last Thursday we moved to Dallas, TX.  On Friday we unloaded our belongings into a storage unit.  On Saturday we drove to San Antonio for a photography conference.  On Tuesday we left San Antonio to head back to our home in Corner to finish packing to complete our move. It is about a 15 hour drive from San Antonio, TX to Warrior, AL.  We knew we couldn't handle all of that time on the road in one day, so we chose to break it up by staying over in Beaumont with one of my husband's friends.

While on the road from San Antonio to Beaumont, I started thinking about all the changes that have taken place in my life in the past few days.  This is what I've learned:

Texas is flat.
Texas has a speed limit for daytime driving and a speed limit for night-time driving.
Texas is flat.
Texas charges you to drive on some of their roads, known as toll roads (I do not like this idea at all).
Texas is flat.
You can reach exit number 850 and still not be out of the state of Texas.
Texas is flat.
People wearing a white ball cap with an orange "T" on it are not for Tennessee.
Texas is flat.
Texans are really not well-informed on the Southeastern Football Conference.
Texas is flat.
Texas fans still carry a bit of a grudge over losing the National Championship to Alabama.
Texas is flat.
Waiters in Dick's Last Resort throw many napkins at you when you ask for ONE.
Texas is flat.
There are alot of Mexican restaurants in Texas.

And finally, Texas is flat!

I'm just sayin',

The Future of Farm Town

If you are an active member of Facebook, you are more than likely familiar with, on an intimate basis, a game called Farm Town. Farm Town is a virtual farm. You plow your land, plant your crops and reap the rewards (coins) of selling those crops at harvest time. You even have the ability to "prostitute" yourself in the village market by offering to harvest other farmers' crops. You can sell your farm for larger farms, purchase silos, waterwells, logs, barrels, pigs, chickens, roosters, goats....you get the picture. You beg your "farming" friends to send you gifts of animals and trees so that you will not have to make these expensive purchases yourself. After all, you are saving your coins so that you can buy that farming mansion and pond you've been lusting after on the neighboring farm. However, the future of Farm Town may be compromised. My son called earlier to let me know Facebook had a new virtual farm game called Farm Ville. He's at level ...

Revolution!

In 1968, the Beatles wrote a song entitled “Revolution”…which is the theme of my blog today. I believe it’s time for a good, old-fashioned revolution, or at the very least, a mediocre civil war between the conformists and non-conformists! You see, I’m a non-conformist…I refuse to go along with the crowd…a rebel per se! I march to the beat of my own drum. If I were born in a different time period, I would have been riding astride when all the other ladies were riding side-saddle. I would have been on the battlefield reloading muskets, wearing britches, while all the other ladies were taking care of the wounded. We have a president in office who has touted ‘change, change, change’ ever since he became the democratic nominee for president. However, his big plans for change have done nothing but flop like a fish on dry land. Everyone wants change, but we want change for the good of all, not for the good of those who choose to avoid work, moral ethics and abuse my tax dollars. I’m ready for...

21st Century Technology

Sometimes, living in the 21st Century, isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Sure, electronic technology is great. But have you ever sat down and pondered exactly what has been laid to the wayside by electronic technology? Letter writing – I can send you an e-mail, any time night or day, but it doesn’t seem as personal as sitting down and writing my thoughts to a friend or loved one, in my own hand-writing. It takes a little more time, but it is well worth the effort. Christmas, birthday, get well cards, etc. – When was the last time you actually mailed a birthday card, Christmas card, get well card or “thinking about you today” card? I mailed cards this past Christmas and will hold tight to this tradition for as long as I am able. A personalized electronic card is nice as is an e-mail full of well-wishes for the holiday and New Year, but again, there is something quite special about receiving that personalized card in the mail. And don’t you just love finding things in your mailbox t...
