Thanks for the kind words. BTW, I have a daughter in Fort Worth who, though lacking your distinguished Texan and Texican ancestry, loves Texas with an absolute passion. God bless.
Truth be told, my chief claim to Texas is the fact that my G-G-Grandfather was born here just prior to Texas statehood. It took another 150 years for one of his descendants to move back here and begin a new Texas branch of the family.
We've now got our stake firmly planted, and don't ever plan on leaving. We absolutely love Texas.
