This misconception became evident when Mark and I attended Bible College in the midwest, especially when we got to know Mark, a friend from Great Britain, whose dream of traveling to Texas was to go to El Paso. But there is so much more to Texas. Texas is BIG! :) Many regions have their own geographical identity.
THIS is East Texas!
Ok, so it looks a little like desert in front, but that's a work in progress... keep reading! :)
I know many of you have probably been to Texas, or heard me talk of it. Allow me to state once agian - it is beautiful here! :) I'm just a little proud. Anyway, the pictures are of a piece of property that my parents own way out in the boonies of East Texas. (Seriously!) It is absolutely beautiful up there. We were out on Monday, Dad had a road built and an area leveled out. Hopefully there will be a cabin up there someday. For now, maybe just a picnic or so. The view is outstanding!
...and so was the climb!
boy, that's a jungle on either side!
Black-Eyed Susans along the road.
The puppies evidently thought they might be good to eat. :)
These little guys were so cute - and friendly! They enjoyed visiting with us.

Well, I hope you enjoyed the little East Texas tour! I enjoyed being out there with the rest of my family (Mark had to work.) It was a wonderful day. We had some rain and it wasn't hot while we were there. Good thing too... that hill is steep!
Til later!
Til later!
It's beautiful! Thanks for the tour.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the tour! :)
ReplyDelete*SIGH* Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I grew up in West Texas, where it does look a lot like that first pic, LOL! I love it!
ReplyDeleteBTW, you are tagged for a meme! See my blog for details...
My husband had to go to TX fairly often for training at his old job. The kids and I tagged along on several of the trips.
ReplyDeleteAt a rest stop somewhere, we saw a sign that said "the sun has ris, the sun has set, we're still in TX yet?" Or something like that...
Anyway, we had just been discussing what a HUGE state TX is. There's nothing like actually seeing geography to understand it.
