TracyK 3 Posted January 15, 2008 Laura-do not sweat the small stuff. Everything will work out one way or another. Just another little road block that we can go around!! Don't let anything or anyone get you down sweetie! Its all good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kat817 19 Posted January 15, 2008 Michelle---if Laura's Dad cannot make plans ahead, is the cabin still an option? It would allow us to include Jenn again....and fall in with Judy's original plan..... One way or another we will figure this out. I'd be up for Palm Springs! Or y'all could head to the 4 corners!!!

TerriDoodle 6 Posted January 15, 2008 If you want a REAL taste of Texas, here's my idea....just to throw it out there: One of my favorite spots in Texas is the little historic town of Gruene. The Guadalupe River (our favorite toobin' river) runs right thru it and there's lots of outfitters ready to rent you a toob and an ice chest to float down the river. By far one of my favorite pass-times....takes about a half-day. The weather will definitely be warm enough to do this....and it's a BLAST. There's oodles of cute shops in the restored little town where you can easily spend a whole day just moseying around. That weekend is also the Gruene Market Days....where Texas artisans gather to show off and sell their handicrafts. Gruene is also home to the the "Oldest Dance Hall in Texas" and i guarantee you that every country singer worth his salt has played there at one time or another. Willie and Jerry Jeff have played there tons. It's all open air with lots of cold beer, cute cowboys in tight jeans, and fun as hell. This offeres a good overview of the town: Historic Gruene Texas This is one of the very cool, very Texas-like guest houses: http://www.gruenehomesteadinn.com/farmhouse.htm A group of 10 could get this for about $200/3 nights. You fly into either Austin or San Antonio and drive about an hour. Very easy to get to. We could even do one night (Sunday?) in San Antonio to get a taste of that special place, too.

Kat817 19 Posted January 15, 2008 San Antonio's River Walk--Remember the Alamo is totally awesome!!! We still have to figure out a way to transport Jennifer!!! If it involved a cute Texan in "Wrangler Butts drive me nuts" tight jeans---it would be even better! We go to one of the Art Fairs in the little town near where our place in TX is--I love them! If gambling is still on some minds, there is always off season Atlantic City......cheap! Kat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daisalana 33 Posted January 15, 2008 Hah hah, when I did the foreign exchange program to Australia/New Zealand.. it was 20 kids from Alabama, 20 kids from Texas. And boy, did we both represent. Our group was all rednecks, and the Texas group was all cowboys!! They had the big belt buckles, tight jeans.. it cracked me up. And I have a magnet on my fridge one of them gave me "Don't Mess with Texas!", that's the state motto isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kat817 19 Posted January 15, 2008 Scratch the Gay, and you describe me....and I pay taxes there, so I hope not!! LOL Kat Yep we laugh at the buckles....in fact the bimbos running around the rodeos----we always called them Buckle Bunnies!! But I personally believe it is a tombstone for a dead _ _ _ _ !!!!

TerriDoodle 6 Posted January 15, 2008 Pamela - if the state were nothing but natives, you might be in trouble....but we have lots of 'foreigners' here who brought all their gay, liberal demo crap with 'em!! :cool: They outnumber the rednecks by a WIDE margin now!

TerriDoodle 6 Posted January 15, 2008 And I have a magnet on my fridge one of them gave me "Don't Mess with Texas!", that's the state motto isn't it? It's actually a anti-litter campaign motto...but has come to represent our whole attitude in a nutshell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
