Happy Texas Independence Day to everyone out there.  I was fortunate to spend 7 great years in the great state of Texas and consider Texas to be home.  And, I would move back tomorrow if I could convince my wife.

There is just something about Texas, that I don’t know if words can truly be put together to describe the state.  But it is definitely a place like no other. And I consider it home. So today, as I miss home and the festivities, I started off listening to  Pat Green’s Texas On My Mind and made a breakfast burrito.

But what is Texas Independence Day? Well, I think that this sums it up pretty well:
“Texas Independence Day celebrations are held in many cities and towns throughout the state. The day is celebrated by festivals that include children’s activities, re-enactments, band music, and chili cook-offs. Other activities include story-telling sessions about how Texas won its independence from Mexico and became a republic during the 19th century.” And feel free to read more about Texas Independence Day here and the history.

God bless the Great State of Texas!
