    Terri,
    Texas welcomes you. I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed your time here. There are a lot of things wrong here – but there are many, many things that are right and you saw that.
    Come back soon,
    Jody

    Jody,

    Thanks so much for your comment. I loved my time in Texas and look forward to having an excuse to come back in the not too distant future. Perhaps then we’ll be able to connect in person. Have a great week!
    Terri
