Texas humor
Kevin Sanders
and Louisiana and I now live in Missouri. This is the farthest north I have
ever been, and it is too far! Are you trying to tell me this stuff is

look on a Northerners face when we talk? I believe they think we are all

laugh. I'm off to make a pot of chili!...............................Take
good care now................Kathy
