Only in Texas

Only in Texas...

* ... can you have a last minute fish fry and at least 15 people come over with the "sides"

* ... can you see all of your friends that you have known for over 10 and even some over 20 years!

* ... can you wave at every car that passes by and they wave back with a smile
* ... can you drive for 4 hours and not even realize it
* ... can you eat more than you ever thought possible
* ... can you hang out at the neighbors house as much as your own
* ... can you listen and sing so loud to country music and feel right at home
* ... can you stop and get a large Sonic drink for 50 cents during happy hour
* ... can you relive most of your childhood memories in a 5 mile radius (well mine at least)
* ... can you see someone you know at every stop in your home town
* ... can you realize how much you are loved and missed and feel so full when you leave
