Home in Texas


TEXAS — Land of Large! Large state, large people, large voices, large portions, large, large, large! I am home! I bought a “small” car and already been flipped off and honked at to move on, not once but three different occasions. GEEZ TEXAS what happened? You are so rude and it is so unacceptable. Why are you in such a hurry?

Do I fit here, good question? Driving around in my little gecko green VDub Bug, with a sunflower in the vase, I am just enjoying the view, the sun and the climate. 500 miles later maybe I should have bought a tank with a driver! There are new streets, new places the old GPS can’t locate. I got lost driving to a Post Office, where my GPS directed me. Turned out fifteen miles later I was in a wheat field. I need updating!

The Apple store on Knox-Henderson was my next stop. Randy says I need an iphone4S. After two hours loading info and trying to figure out apps, I am technology appropriate. Ha, but can I use the thing? Someone call me and let me see if I can answer it. My cute little pink flip phone is now gone and I have a 3 inch miniature flat screen computer-esque phone. I believe I need to purchase glasses to read the fine print. I am savvy but do I really need this much stuff?

Life overseas was about “Less is More!” Life here is “more is overwhelming!”

Fitting in, may be harder than I thought.

How to install a heater by crawling out a window!

My heater unit doesn’t work.  It is rather cold.  So the land lord sent over a new one.  The compressor is outside my high rise kitchen window on a small ledge.  Why in the world is it on a ledge out a window and not a balcony with a door?  It is China, that is why!  So I took pictures of the workmen removing it and installing the new one.  This is a accident in the making and an insurance law suit in America.  Enjoy the pictures.  I laughed at the entire event.  The two workers did tie a harness to each other.  Ha!  If one fell the other would topple right out my window with him!
