You can take the girl out of Texas....
Grew up in a place called Lufkin. NE of Houston. I loved it. Nobody in a real hurry to do anything...
I was probably 10 or 11 before I ever ate at McDonalds... There were no fast food places at all until the mid-late 70's....
It was Hillbilly Deluxe- pick-em-up-trucks... 
Love South Padre Island... Spring Break for years!!
Galveston, too. I don't know about now? But you used to be able to spend the night on the Beach  Love that! They also had huge waterslides on the beach as well.
I miss it all very much...
But my mutable self has adapted well to Yankee land hippichick... great pics... had me daydreaming of yesterday.... IP: Logged |

I know people from Lufkin. I know people from CC too. I'm from So. California orininally, and I've been in Texas for too long. I've lived in Galveston, then Houston and now presently El Paso. I'm hoping to move to Austin soon (I say that every year). IP: Logged |

Wow GN... Nobody ever knows where I'm talking about....
I now usually say its round about where the space shuttle fell out of the sky (so sad)..
The Piney Woods... lots of people don't realise that there are deep deep woods in Texas... It was a great place to grow up. IP: Logged |

When hubby and I decided to move from PA., we went on the internet and looked up "The Cheapest Places to Live in the U.S."
We located Brownsville Texas and Douglas AZ.
The thought of being swollowed up in a hurricane kinda made us choose AZ.IP: Logged |
