Although I’m a fifth generation Texan, and have never even traveled outside Texas, I have no ‘Texas’ or ‘Southern’ accent’ at all. I have no idea how that happened. None- unless it was growing up adoring and watching classic movies where the characters were often without an accent of any kind. I may have tried to pattern my speech after them from an early age. Who knows?
At any rate, no one can ever identify where I came from by my speech. Strange. No?
People meeting me for the first time often remark, ‘you’re not from Texas, are you?’
Somehow I find this a tiny bit hurtful, as I am very proud of my state- as anyone can tell by reading my lengthy bio. lol :)
I LOVE your homepage! fun stuff. Nice kitty collection you’ve got there! When I lived in NC I Had a cat house! Bred Exotic shorthair and persians. Had one chinchilla. Now have a collections of ferals.. that rather live here but are terribly afraid of me. Didn’t get my first dog til I was over 50!
Also appreciate your concern for endangered species.. and your work to help.

Your home page is amazing. Texas is the perfect place. I have friends who have never traveled outside of Texas... They don’t see the need!
