When a City Girl Goes Country

I have a vivid memory of my mamma in her 90s looking in the mirror as she put on her lipstick. After dabbing her lips, she gazed upon her reflection and said with a sigh, “I feel so much younger than I look.” Mamma’s words resonate with me these days.

My daughter and I recently took a mother-daughter trip to Granbury, Texas. We spent hours and hours talking, laughing, eating, and shopping. It was amazing and memorable, and I already cannot wait to do it again.

Outside one of the adorable shops was the sign in this photograph with a message that reminded me of my mamma’s words, “Outside we may be different, but inside we’re all the same.” I’m pretty sure the author had an intention that was different from my interpretation.

Once the election is over, and regardless of who wins, things seem to pick up once again. It is a strange phenomena that just seems to happen every four years.

With the amount of growth that we are currently experiencing here, I do not expect things to get any cheaper. More people means more houses, and they have to have land to build those houses on.
