It is no joke. Both Ken and I like Texas. This afternoon we arrived at the lake house and we were both delighted to be here. Now I know that the house has a lovely view and that the facilities are comfortable but it is certainly not fancy but we do enjoy living here. We left the time share today due to the weather but Ken commented to me while sitting on the deck this evening that this view was certainly better here than in our little log cabin in Flint, Texas. He was right. It is better here, even though the hot tub is not working.
Perhaps we like Texas so much because it was the first place we lived in the US. In 1964, we drove with all our belongings in our new fancy car to Galveston. People were friendly and welcoming and we fit right in. We loved it, especially the warm evenings. It is always a bit chilly in the evenings in Ontario but in Texas, you could sit outdoors all evening without a sweater. We lived there 6 years. Both boys were born in Galveston. David gets great credit by being a BOI, born on the island, and attending Baylor for his MBA. Eventually, he tells the real story, that he only lived in Galveston for 11 months and returned for college and graduate school. But he is a true Texan and I think Ken and I are too. Now for the month of April, we will be living in Texas and we will enjoy every minute.
