colector: Re: [JournalWriting] Re: Journal Entry -- Spring is Here

Pretty much all of Tx was home. Hahaha.. We moved all over. But seriously, home to me is the Hill Country. Lived there for 10 yrs. Soooo beautiful and so much scenery! Nothing against New Mexico..at least southeastern where I am..but it's just so flat! Haha.. I've lived here now 10 yrs and i'm still not used to it. We did live up near Albuquerque for about a year..that was nice. Waking up every morning to see the moutains and weather permitting, hot air balloons.. *Sigh*.. Magic! There's magic around here too. It's just that i might have to look harder to find it. Sometimes. Other times it's staring me right in the face.

Ah, New Mexico. A great place. Barb and I bought 11 unimproved
acres northwest of Pie Town about six years ago. It's pretty high
and pretty cold right now. We spend some time there every summer.

We haul a couple of solar panels and batteries up there and live in
our camper. I'm so lucky that Barb is a good sport and willing to
read or gather pine nuts while I play on the ham radio(s). She's a
ham, too, but she isn't as addicted as me.

Snowbird friends spend their winters in Yuma. They'll pack up in mid
May and start migrating toward Las Vegas and spend most of the summer
at Storey Lake. The four of us used to live on the Mexioc border
east of Yuma and we'd cut a rug at the Friday night dances. Man what
fun that was.

What part of Texas did you call home?
