A little taste of Texas

Well, Yeee--Haw, y'all!!! I made it to Texas! (Actually I made it to Texas on Friday, but since EVERYTHING here is at a slower pace, I thought I'd join 'em and take my time blogging) Ah, friendly Texas. This sign was posted in my hotel room on my last night of travel. Gotta love it!
And what a lovely decor! Take special note of the curtains.... yup! They're towels! Brilliant! Just in case you didn't have enough already. And Grams S., another idea for you!!!



At least this hotel had a theme, and went with a "monochromatic" scheme. I loved the pictures of the horses, and when I clicked on the TV, Dolly Parton and her "twins" were singing at me. Welcome to Texas!


This is the bed where I laid my weary head. Why couldn't I get "bomp-chicka-dayrrnnn" out of my head?



This here's the sign posted out front of that there hotel ( to practice my Texan). Literally translated, it says, "American Owned. Yes to speak spanish a little." To practice my Texan, it means, Ah'll take yer money but I don't much fancy them there wetbacks, y'hear?







Now, the pool had been drained for the winter, seeing as how guests may find the 75 degrees out where this hotel was to be too cold for an afternoon swim. Just saving money, I guess. This was actually at the first hotel I had stayed at.


It's good to be me cause I see so much humor in Texas living!

Yeehaw! I love good Texas humor!

As loud as that bedspread/curtain combination was, I'm surprised you could sleep at all!

Oh my gosh! That hotel was hysterical. I am good friends with Heidi's husband's family. I grew up in the church that they attend and we just left when we moved out here to Utah. Couldn't have moved to Maine, a state I've never been to. Nope, we had to move to Utah, a state I've been to many times.
