I love that teatime!! LOL!! Thanks for the encouragement everybody! If I could move to Texas TODAY I would. In my heart I feel like God has been showing me Texas is home. It will be in God's timing when we move there and not ours since we cannot go anywhere until we sell our business and our home. In the mean time, while we wait for that to happen, I love reading on this forum about Texas. I love the pictures. I love reading about people's experiences who live there already or those new to the state. I am all about Texas! For the record teatime, I don't live there yet but I am a Texan too.

She is a very good memory though.
If she was from Arlington, then it's most likely the same place!

I know they grow in New Zealand and Iceland, so they very well could be in the UK too.

Here are a few photos I took today from my backyard. I love my cattle...well, they're not mine, but the dogs and I think they are. I love to watch them, and the dogs love to bark at them and/or chase them.

Yes, it's a peaceful life to live out in the country. I would never move back to the city.

Beautiful, TexasNick! I was driving in that area back in the late spring, visiting San Antonio and Fredericksburg.
