Good morning Billie. I haven't dropped by in a while but couldn't resist the thread about Texas. Part of my family has been in Texas since it was a Republic. Our oldest son will be getting out of the Air Force by the end of the year and will move back to Texas and our whole family will be back in Texas where they belong. Here is my favorite quote about Texas, specifically West Texas.

A German artist named Ludwig Bemelmans once visited far West Texas, exploring its forbidding but majestic mountains and barren desert, and afterward said: “It is what Beethoven reached for in music. It will make you breathe deeply whenever you think of it, for you have inhaled eternity.”
