Margaret has been blogging an A to Z of places that mean something to her. Some are more than one word. Some of them are places special to her from before I met her. But some are names of places that bring back a flood of memories to both of us (plus she has been scanning some classic photos).

Texas. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am not arrogant about being from Texas or anything. It's just that I have spent all but 3 years of my life here, and it is all I've known.I am fourth or fifth generation Texan, and when I think about the state, I think about the fact that the land changes so much within one huge state. I have lived in South Texas, West Texas, and North Central Texas. I have frequently visited East Texas. If you're bored, drive in the other direction and the landscape will change. And the weather changes frequently within the same season. :)
Queen means a variety of things to me when first reading this post: a deck of cards, the borough of Queens in NY, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteI worked on a mosaic project at one of the local schools and it was a lot of fun but I didn't continue with that art form as the years went by. Still, I do appreciate viewing nice mosaic works!

I love the colorful signs!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what my word would be. Maybe "family."
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend.
There is a beautiful subalpine flower called Queen's Crown, and that was the first thing I thought of. Then I thought of Kate Middleton... :)
