Texas, Our Texas

I'm proud to be a 4th generation Texan. Although, our family has vacationed in many states through my childhood and adult years, I can't imagine living anywhere else.
We have a culturally diverse population which is truly a manifestation of the inscription on the NY, Statue of Liberty. "Give me your tired, your poor,..."
Our state has aided people during hurricanes, floods, and many other disasters.
Our economy has remained one of the strongest, during the volatile times.
Texas is a land beaming with opportunity.
I am a city girl, but my family has cattle ranches in South Texas...hundreds of acres. Yes, they are real cowboys! I'll never forget going to the ranch as a child (1970's) in my bell bottom jeans and platform shoes...looking for Native American Indian arrowheads...I didn't realize the historical importance at that time.
My Texas life affords me the luxury of going to the Houston Theatre district one night, and visiting real cowboys. The food is great in Texas: French, Asian, Texas Country Cooking, Italian,...you name it, we've got some of the best. Our southern hospitality is second to none! Don't listen to the uneducated rants of an ignorant few :) Pray for them to put away the hate! There's enough of that in the world.
Let's teach our children to strive for peace and put away the hate. God bless America and God bless Texas!
Daughter of an American Vet and Proud Texan,
