I have been in Texas for 10 years, born in PA, but now I call Texas home. I live pretty close to the panhandle, about 65 miles east of Lubbock near a small town of Dickens. I love the people from Texas and think a get together would be great. Marlene

Oh, dear lord!!!! I must have confused you in my earlier post "Texan for 40 years. (first ten displaced by birth to air force dad in Nebraska)"
"DISPLACED"..... i.e. Five Generations from Texas... dad was in Air Force when I WAS BORN.. in Omaha.. geesh... I'll have to watch my mouth... I ain't no transplanted nuthin'... But thanks for the friendly welcome, just the same!! LOL!!

I am a Texan displaced by birth, but have lived in the Metromess for 38 years now. My DW, on the other hand, is a native of Clyde...just east of Abilene. Her family has been in that area for well over 100 years, so she really is a native daughter!!
We are currently in the Metromess...Arlington/Mansfield area, but have our little piece of heaven in NE Erath county....between Morgan Mill and Lipan..... working toward that day that we can move onto our place...

hi greenacres, sorry I just now saw your question.  I was born and raised in Richardson, tx (suburb of dallas, for y'all yankees). I escaped to the country near leonard, tx for 3 years until medical bills forced us to sell. Back in Richardson again till my next escape.

Except for 8 years during my 20's, I've spent my whole life in the dry old Panhandle. I keep thinking I want to move somewhere with grass and trees and water. Then we finally have a rainy spell like we've had this past couple of weeks and the air smells so good and the sky is so big and blue that I feel like I'm looking right into God's heaven. Guess the wind and the dirt just get in your blood because the years I was gone, it was that dog gone wind that I missed the most, that and the thunderstorms in the spring. I finally felt like I just couldn't breathe any more still air. The first night I got back here, there was one heck of a thunderbuster with glorious lightening streaking through the night. I slept like a babe and I've been here ever since. I always said I'd go back someplace green when I retire, but lately I've started to realize, the closer it gets, the more I don't know where else I'd want to go.
