I am always amazed how many people drive big trucks in Texas. As many times as I have been here I am still in awe of big trucks and how fast everyone drives. We had to drive downtown today and I always wonder where all the people are going and why they are in a hurry. Some people like to weave back and forth between lanes. It seems like a game to see who can be the fastest or first in line. I read somewhere that even when we speed we only arrive a few minutes earlier. It seems to me that I can spare the few minutes and drive safely. I pray the people in the big trucks see us in our little car. I always laugh as I think about the saying that everything is big in Texas. I guess it's true.
I am enjoying my visit with friends in Texas and feeling blessed to have arrived safely at their home. Maybe next visit I'll arrive in a big truck so I will feel like a Texan. Anyways, I do love Texas. I always feel at home when I am here. The hospitality is also big in Texas. I have noticed that even though people are in a hurry they seem very friendly. Life is big and good in Texas!
We fell off our walking schedule as we spent two days traveling in the car. But, today we were able to get outside and walk. The weather here is warm to us, and I laughed as I overheard native Texans talking about how cold it is. I will gladly give them my winter coat and snow scraper if I can stay here until spring. It would be great to stay if Laney were here also. Maybe she will surprise me and show up in a big shiny truck in my dreams. In the mean time, I'll have to Skype her and reassure her I'll be home soon.
