Guest guest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Debbie, I have lived in Texas all my life except for the short time my husband was in the navy. You live around my old stomping grounds when I was a kid. I lived in Austin in the 30's and 40's. I loved it down there. I live in Italy which is 15 miles from Waxahachie in Ellis County. When I was a kid we use to drive through Round Rock to go see my Grandparents that lived in on County. The heat in Texas is harder on me now than it was before I got old, old, old. I have Hypothyroidism and I can't take the heat anymore. Joyce from Texas [ ] fellow Texan Joyce Hi Joyce, I live in Round Rock which is just north Austin. It's going to be in the triple digits here, too. What town near Dallas do you live in? It's nice to know there are other Texans in this group!

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Yes, good to see all the Texans, but does it ever make you wonder if all the plants, refineries and toxic waste dumps in Texas might have something to do with the fact that there are so many of us from Texas on this list? Also why we have some of the best cancer centers in the world - it's easy to do research when you have such a great test pool! But I still love Texas - it's my home and the people here are great! Hope all of you are having a blessed and pain free day! (Alvin, Texas) cnberte <bertelson@...> wrote: Bedford, Texas here. Very hot!

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I certainly don't want Dubya back in Texas. He's not a true Texan. He was born up north somewhere. If I said what I think about him, you'll would kick me off the list. So I will keep my big mouth shut.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hi , Joyce, Cassy and all, I really love it here in Texas, too. I moved to Austin in 1987 and haven't wanted to move anywhere else even though my family doesn't live near. Debbie L -- In , " Joyce McCrary " <j.mccrary@...> wrote: > > I love Texas too, .

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hi Fellow Texans, Been busy recently and just saw these posting and wanted to say " Howdy. " I reside in Humble, ten minutes from Bush Intercontinental Airport. I'm very close to Houston, but only drive around this area. Take care everyone and hope to get to know everyone better as I'm very new to this group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 When I was stationed at AFB in the 60's, I would go to Beaumont on weekends to visit my family. If I remember the number right, I got off 90 at Katy and took 1960 around Houston. There at Humble was a blinking caution light where we crossed a major highway. We went through there a few years ago and nothing is the same. It used to be forest and wild animals, but now it's grass and concrete and houses, but there are worse 'animals' there now.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Debbie, I wouldn't trade my memories of Austin. I lived in Austin until I was 13 years old. We lived on Holly Street, Riverside, South Annie and 4th Street. My best memories were when we lived on 4th Street. We could sit on our front porch and listen for the circuses and carnivals that came to Austin. We lived across the street from a huge empty lot where Austin had their circuses and carnivals. I especially loved the circuses. The train would come in and they unloaded the elephants, lions and tigers on Congress Avenue. Of course they left the cats in their cages but the elephants walked from Congress Avenue to the empty lot with their trainers. They always let the highschool band play in front of the elephants. You could hear the the elephants and cats roaring as they walked down the street. After the animals got off the train they walked south on Congress to 1st street. They walked east on 1st Street then down to 4th street where we lived. My oldest brother and I would go across the street and watch the elephants help put up the big tents. I never went to a circus untill I was in my 40's. I didn't have too. My fondest memories were and still is in Austin. Enough of my reminiscing.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 HI Joyce, Thanks for sharing your memories of Austin. Since I moved it has changed so much. You probably won't recognize downtown now. Right now they are building a toll road near us along Louis Henna in Round Rock. Dell computer is our neighbor. It's ok to email at home if you want to share things. Debbie L --- In , " Joyce McCrary " <j.mccrary@...> wrote: > > Debbie, I wouldn't trade my memories of Austin.
