time to leave US.
Where have you been and up to?

  I couldn't live anywhere but Texas.  I grew up on the Texas Gulf Coast, but my parents had migrated to the coast from their ancestral home - my father from ranch country of south Texas, and my mother from German farming land near Victoria.  So I learned about both, growing up admiring my ranching girl cousin who rode a horse as fast as she could, no saddle and barefoot - and following my maiden aunts around with their farming chores and then doing fine needlework before bedtime.
   
  Now, I live in Houston, work as a transportation engineer/planner.  It took me a very long time to discover what to do for a living, so am just now getting to my full potential.  My brother, sister and I have a ranch near Shiner, Texas where I would contemplate placing retired horses, but not myself - as I like living here so far. My grown son and his family live in Austin - so I visit there every few weeks.
   
  There are several ghetto friends living here in Houston including Anson "Tony" Barnes who you may have known.  Clark Santos who died a few months ago, lived down the street from me for a while. I miss him.
   
  Let's hope that the US is making a turn for better days.
   
  Connie
