West Texas

There is something amazing about living in West Texas. Maybe it's that the people still act out the Texas values that many of us were raised on, maybe it's the lack of traffic and the ease to get from point A to point B without any hassel or maybe it's the dry heat that feels really good on my balding noggin. I am not sure but it is really nice out here. I miss Dallas. I miss the nightlife and the ability to go see the cowboys or rangers play. We are taking a trip to galveston next week and being out here makes it an extra 5 or 6 hours but that is ok. I am sure that Mehkya will see about a thousand slug bugs on the way and i wont be able to use my arm for a week from her non stop pounding that I receive everytime she sees a slug bug. It's fun though! I am trying to keep my eyes on the road and drive friendly, she is searching for slug bugs with clinched fist ready to pounce on me. It's not too fair! THe other day I asked her to go clean her room and her response made me laugh.. She said "daddy are you asking me or telling me to clean my room? Cause if you are asking me then I have the right to say NO" I was shocked! Anyway back to West Texas. It is nice out here, things are falling into place for us but there is one thing I cannot stand...............................The wind never stops blowing! We bought a pool, the wind blows the cover off, We needed rain but it only comes with the wind. I water my yard and only one side gets wet because of the wind!! But it is all good. Wish that some family would come out and see where we are. I miss Big D but am loving West Texas
