FALLING FOR VERMONT
(True Texan still falls for love stories.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was born in the middle of Texas, and the ‘Heart of Texas’ is in my heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also did my time outside of Texas, so I know even more what it means to be a Texan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spent the last three years of college in Nebraska.
Survived ‘up north’, -14\u00b0 one morning, because I didn’t need a car (walked everywhere in the small college town).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spent the next seventeen years ‘in the big city’ of South Florida.
Should qualify in Guiness Book for longest a Texan spent in S. Florida (maybe the only Texan—never met any there).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When moving onto my inheritance (in land) became an option, I thought it was better for my children to finish growing up in the country and attend small-town high school (with its limitations, without metal detectors).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hasn’t been perfect, but no regrets for this Texan returning to Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
