Thanks for the welcome !!
Everyone here have been great.
We have have to readjust our lingo which has been hard - the minute we start talking someone will say "you're from up north aren't you" .
We say things like "pop" instead of soda -
"you guys"instead of y'all.
But we're starting to get with the program - even went to the State Fair and had a corn dog and fried twinkie!!!!

Just ask things like "Hey, Yall got a Coke?"

When they ask what kind, state your brand.

FW is a great place to live, lakes all around, The coast is 6 hrs south on I45, mountains to the west and forests to the east. Texas is so big I havent had time to go north yet,even after 4 decades.
