I Love Yew, Texas
Today is Texas Independence Day. We celebrate 176 years of the Republic of Texas’ birth.
I want you all to know something about why I love Texas in spite of some of our crazy politicians. We come from good roots and every now and again, we sprout a yellow rose of greatness like Barbara Jordan and Ann Richards.
Learn a little about Juan Seguin, Sam Houston, Jane Long (who lived and is buried in my little town), Susanna Dickinson, the Treaty of Velasco and James Fannin. We have tough smart and beautiful women and men of courage and honor.
Happy Birthday, Texas.
