Well, we are sorta transplants up here <g> The only thing I'd like to
change/teach folks about is how to keep their blooming mongrels home! Well,
I take that back, I wish the neighbor would find someplace to sleep besides
right smack dab in the middle of the road <g> The man has carved his
driveway out of part of our property and we ignore that but the drinking and
then sleeping in the middle of a barely one lane private road is a bit of a
problem.
Now, I'll trade James some Texans for those Californians. I'm really tired
of being told just how glorious Texas is and how nothing in California can
match Texas, how expensive it is to live here, how the schools aren't any
good, how there is too much traffic, blah, blah, blah. I finally told one
gal that if it was so blooming marvelous there I'd buy her a bus ticket and
she could go back. Funny, she has spoken to me since <g>
Lynda, who loved visiting *almost* everywhere in the U.S. and listening to
the stories of the locals and collecting recipes and loved living in Mexico
and collecting still more recipes <g>
