People actually grow and eat okra

‘Backwards and forwards’ means I know everything about you!
Djeet is actually a phrase meaning ‘Did you eat?’
You don’t have to wear a watch because it doesn’t matter what time it is. You work until you’re done or it’s too dark to see.
You don’t PUSH buttons, you MASH them.
You measure distance in hours. Like its 6 hours from Houston to Dallas .
You’ll probably have to switch from ‘heat’ to ‘A/C’ in the same day.
‘Fix’ is a verb. Example: “I’m fixin’ to go to the store.”

Gravy is a food group.
A cool snap (below 70 degrees) is good pinto-bean weather.
A carbonated soft drink isn’t a soda, cola or pop. . . . it’s a Coke, regardless of brand or flavor. Example: ‘What kind a coke you want?’
Fried catfish is the other white meat.
We don’t need no stinking driver’s ed . . . if our mama says we can drive, we can drive.
If you understand these jokes please pass ‘em on to your friends from Texas ———(and those who just wish they were).

EVERYONE can’t be from Texas . You might say it’s a gift from God!
And the most important thing we learn growing up in TEXAS is…

I’d like to share some things I’ve been doing since the Lord YHWH told me in 1990′s to leave city living and move back to the family farm in west Texas. …That the country would go belly-up, so learn to live without money as Ma and Pa did through the depression when I came along.

Love that Judi… we’ve dialogued some regarding US Prez Zip… and her good string of writers. (She’ll recognize me I think, by email addres.)

Let me know if you want some of my tales…

Am enjoying your instructions on gardening, the recipes and tales… especially the shoes out the bus window, and Horse Trading!

Blessings and Shalom on all you do… keep up the good work!
Texas Gal
