i'm back......

My chauffeur and I took a quick trip to the East side of Texas.

I've decided I do not want to live there.

Are you ready for this?

Too many trees...

Yep, I am an Arizona girl thru and thru...

I need the open country.

The trees grow like weeds in that part of the state. I much prefer

the area around Austin, Fredicksburg (love, love, love Fredricksburg) and

my favorite town in Texas,

Blanco.

Now that is a town I could live in.

Really laid back, and I could have my white house with a

white picket fence

(okay, back to reality)

I do love the heritage behind Texas.

And did I mention, I love the panhandle.

I could live there too.

This is just a random pic of a flag from Texas. But when I saw it,

it spoke volumes to me.

I guess that is why they call it the lonestar state.

On our last day there,

I made my chauffeur stop at a peach stand.

As I was carrying the box of peaches back to the truck,

I heard my chauffeur mumble something about

"a whole box!"

They made the best peach pies.

I'm Back,

Petie
