I'm so excited.  This is my forum to see and share who I am.

Are you the kind of person who smiles, even to yourself?  I am.  I start to remember something that gave me pleasure, was poignant, gave me pause, anything, then I enjoy it again.

Last year I was lucky enough to get a trip to London for my birthday from my beautiful daughter.  (I know, crazy, huh!)  My brother Ray went me, then Crystal joined us when her school was over.  Crystal went on and on about pub food.  She was absolutely horrified when she learned Ray and I had McDonald's every day for lunch! 

It's just there is so little time and so much to see!  How do you waste time eating when you can be making a mad dash to see the American Embassy, the V&A, or even the Thames!

OK, I get it.  I should be enjoying every aspect of the country.  She's so much more adventurous than I.  I'm good with quick "known" lunches, clean restrooms and going to the next thing.  Am I going to change?  Probably not but I celebrate that Crystal can be so adventurous! 

Here I sit smiling again.  I am blessed.

Long live Texas!
