Posting note:  As we embark on a lengthy road trip to Texas, posting may be light over the next few weeks.

We are very much looking forward to our upcoming road trip to Texas.  We plan to visit with our friends and family, and enjoy the economic and cultural benefits of years and years of immigration. 

Texas has a rich history, a vibrant diverse culture and a low cost of living thanks to its industrious people, many of which came here not that long ago on boats through Galveston or across the border form Mexico.  I embrace those pioneering souls and appreciate the value they've added to my life with their inventions, their entrepreneurial spirit and their wonderful cooking!
