Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about folks from Texas…

• If someone in a Lowe’s store offers you assistance and they don’t work there, you may live in Texas
• If you’ve worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you may live in Texas
• If you’ve had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you may live in Texas
• If ‘Vacation’ means going anywhere south of Dallas for the weekend, you may live in Texas
• If you measure distance in hours, you may live in Texas
• If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you may live in Texas
• If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked, you may live in Texas
• If you carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you may live in Texas
• If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph — you’re going 80 and everybody’s passing you, you may live in Texas
• If you find 60 degrees ‘a little chilly,’ you may live in Texas

          

I thought I’d share a few of my favorite things.

          

It’s tradition to take photos in the blue bonnets. For some odd reason they only seem to grow on the side of busy highways, except for the crazy guy who plants them in his front yard in Southlake, only to spend all his time on the front porch chasing people away.

We were on the side of a highway, actually where two meet, but it was off the road quite a bit.

Illianna was far too interested in the flowers and grass to actually look at the camera, but I figure I’ll have many years of blue bonnet photos where she’s looking at the camera. Only one where she’s actually fascinated by the flowers.
