It was never on my Bucket List to move from Colorado, but here I am two years later, living my retired years in a BIG, little city suburb of Ft. Worth.
             I say, "big" because Burleson is about 150,000 in population. That is big in relation to most towns or cities in other states, which proves the slogan, "Every thing is bigger in Texas."
             "Why did you come to this state?" All my friends asked.
             "All my grandkids live in Texas." Simple answer.
My husband and I have lived in Oklahoma, Kentucky, Colorado and now Texas. We have traveled through thirty-eight of the fifty states, enjoying them all plus Canada and Mexico. I traveled overseas to Austria and Germany. We were counting on having more trips to other places, especially discovering all the historic sites of Texas.
          My husband and I had a great plan. We would move closer to the grandkids in Texas and be involved with them from October through May. Then we would beat the summer heat by traveling back to Colorado from June to October to enjoy our friends and be cool in the mountains.
          Sounds great, doesn't it? Well, our plan never happened.
Soon after we moved into our Texas house my husband was diagnosed with a terminal disease. He is doing as well as can be, but his condition has limited us in our travels.
          Our car trips have been to two hospitals several times and to an ever-growing list of specialists too many times. He is still with us, and we have seen the grand kids and grown kids more than we did in Colorado. So we are not sad or mad about our move.
          After two years of these adventures, I want to write in this blog about all the funny, interesting people and experiences we are having while we are "Living on Texas Times."
         So, welcome to my world.

THIS IS MY MOTIVATION.
