    ALL - It's been months since I've been here. My family & I moved from NYC to Texarkana, TX and are currently looking for a house to buy. I can not believe how stressful it was to live in a city that's constantly on the 'let's bomb' radar. Needless to say that's not the problem here. With us out of the area my parents haven't really made an effort to contact us and with their increased JW involvement I really can't blame them. Well, I'm back to catching up with all your lives. Thank you all for your prayers, support, love, good vibes and groovy karma.

    I'm still in a bit of shock after leaving. Sure I lived in TX before, but we're 30 minutes from Texarkana and so I consider it country. However, there are dirt roads that prove otherwise. The city here is cute and we're looking to buy there since it's closer to Jaret's work.

    1st weekend here I was SO excite to have a pizza and Shiner Bock (Tx brewed beer), I went to the two grocery stores and thought it odd why they didn't have a beer sign around. I picked up the pizza and went to the gas station knowing damn well they'll know where I can get beer.

    'You're not frum here, arrrreewe?' - said big guy with overalls and a slow East Tx twang

    'No. Where can I get beer?' - I said in that quick NY like talk

    'Wellll, thiss a drrry county. You'll have to go to Arkansas to ghethat.' - said the guy

    I mumbled 'Thanks' as I picked my jaw up off the floor......pizza sans beer

    In plain english, I can't buy beer, wine or anything of that sort here in Bowie (pronounced booie) County and have to go to Arkansas or another county to get a TX BEER! Tales of more faux pas' will come

    THANKS Valis - may just do that. I'm thinking of taking the little girl to Shrevport, LA for Fat Tuesday. AND I may even trade the VW Wagon in for a TRUCK! WOW! Are you located in Dallas?
