this was fun to read and thought provoking too. I'm excited to scroll down and read your first 50 now.
LT,
I can totally agree with you on 51,52, and 53. The Texas Hill Country in the spring when the wild flowers are in bloom is God's gift to the United States. If you throw in a dish of Blue Bell Ice Cream from that little creamery in Brenham, TX, then it is almost heaven.
I'm a Yank by birth but I thank my lucky stars that I was able to move to Texas. Now, I never want to leave. I love it here.
"53. I was disappointed the first time I saw the Alamo"
Tell me about it! I was like "What?!?!?" that little dinky thing? I think that's an outhouse.
I like those! Nice list.
Part two of the character sketch. Lots of little tidbits that could be blown up and made into big stories.
Very interesting!
I really enjoyed bulleted, but yet still indepth look at Kevin's mind :)
lots to catch up on for me..Love these 50!
88. Washington DC is NOT the south
I am from Chicago and Washington DC is very south to me. The weather is too warm and not enough now in the winter time.
