Hey girl, I was in Dillards this past weekend and thought of you because of how many times your posts have referenced Texas "big hair!" For some reason (its not Rodeo time, yet) they had this big western clothing display and there was a T shirt that said, "Official Member of the Bouffant Hair Club!" Thought you'd like it!

Regards,

BB

Well depending on your definition of Okie...

I was raised in Tulsa, but born in Kansas.

By my calculation I spent 26 years in Tulsa!

I had lots of clients in Texas when I lived in Tulsa, and I really wanted to move to Dallas for the longest time. It is such a FUN City! But I ended up in New Mexico instead!

Now that's funny!

My sister and I have always felt soooo fortunate to have escaped Kansas! We have cousins that did not BTW! And we saw what happened to them.

But I have to say I have other family there, and they are downright respectable - I'm actually quite proud of them!

Our family farm is still there, though no one in our family lives there now. We rent the farmhouse and other farmers rent the fields.

In fact some big hunting outfit wants to have deer hunting rights on it now.

Well, that's way more than you wanted to know, Oh - well!

Ark, you silly flathead yankee gal, I am on my SECOND yankee husband! To the great shame of my family.... That makes my kids multi-racial. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

CSue, the only thing going for Kansas are tumbleweeds, car sickness <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> and 3.2 beer! Good grief, I was glad to escape, too! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
