Hi and welcome, waving from NE Ohio.

Texan is definately a language! I am a transplanted New Mexican and call myself a Newtexican. I have live here more than half my life. I was accused of having a "Southern" accent before I ever left NM. Don't know what my accent is!

Lived in Odessa for 60 years, through every boom and bust since 1942 before moving to N. Texas. It's good to hear from ByzantineRose and from you. froggyintexas

I teach music in a public elementary school, so do most of my quilting during the triple digit dog days of summer. We had our first rain in ten months this weekend. Might have gotten as much as an entire quarter of an inch. As a native Oregonian, my survival here in the Permian Basin is due entirely to the miracle of air conditioning!

Just finished a little wall quilt for my older daughter's kitchen. Am currently posting online INSTEAD of working on the stripey quilt I'm trying to finish for my baby daughter to take with her to college in a couple weeks. So, I really must stop looking at all your pretty pictures and make progress on making her something pretty to take with her to Aggieland!

Looking forward to getting acquainted with all uh y'all's. (Also working on my bi-lingual [Yankee-Texan] certification!)

HI. was surprised to see someone else from Odessa. i was born in Illinois but have lived in Odessa since 1961.

Thats right. My cousin graduated from U of T & was told if he had come from A & M he would got have got a job a lot faster. He also graduated tops in his class. He is a very smart kid. I like them both. DH is graduating from U of T in Tyler in Dec.

Welcome from another Texan, glad you are here, hope that you will enjoy this great board.

Well, HEY!!! When all you Odessa Ladies get together over here in Midland to buy fabric, give me a call! I'd love to meet all of ya'll!!
I live in Midland, but grew up up the road in Lubbock, so don't worry about that Yankee accent...I have a "mixed marriage"...I married a sweet fella fron Ohio, so I reckon I can understand MOST of what you say!
P.M. me, and lets all go have a glass of tea!

that sounds like fun and i'd love to do that.
