It's about time I found your great state of Texas blog - I live in Bulverde, Texas (The front door to the hill country) I'm trying to get through each one of your posts! I would LOVE to visit these small towns.

My roommate in college was from Valentine...her mother was the Postmistress. One of their MOST famous citizens was an artist friend and college colleague....Boyd Elder...look him up in connection to The Eagles...yep, the band. Last I heard he still lives in Valentine. <br />Sue at <a href="http://collectintexasgal.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">CollectInTexas Gal</a><br />AtoZ 2015 Challenge<br />Minion for AJ's wHooligansSue McPeakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927975578544675345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379826084010321238.post-389900164139576702015-04-25T18:17:05.062-05:002015-04-25T18:17:05.062-05:00I like the heart-shaped cactus.
