The Portion of my Inheritance

So .  .  .

I’m just going to go ahead and put it out there. No more looking over my shoulder to see who’s there, because a true blue Texan would hang me up by my boot straps just for uttering the words. 

Even after 32 years, Yankee blood runs thick red through my veins and my true blue Texan family and friends shake their heads at me and they warn me good.  

“Shhhhhh! Don’t say it out loud!! Don’t even think it, cause they’ll know!”

Living in Texas land, where the heat sears your skin just by peeking through the drapes, and your sweat evaporates before you get to the end of the driveway. Yes, it’s all about the heat here and most Texans love it.

But this winter has brought on a wonderful (in my opinion) surprise! We are on our second freeze, with big thick chunks of snow and EVERYTHING!! Just iced in! And this Yankee heart is thrilled by the sight of it. White covered ground, a blazing fire in the fireplace, warm oven, chili smothered with cheese and onions, sweat shirts and sweaters. Need I say more?

I LOVE THIS WEATHER!! 

There, it is finally out and I feel wonderfully relieved!!!
