Taste of TEXAS

I really did mean to go out one afternoon and do a photo documentary of all the little Texas-isms that I saw while driving to town and around the neighborhood, but the visit was abruptly cut short! Here are the few that I took that turned out:

My first experience that wasn't on TV!

Walking home, all the lights went out in 5 counties! They do things BIG in TEXAS! Thank goodness for flashlights and candles...
