Mental Mosaic: Even Home is a Travel Destination
My name is Tui Snider. I'm a travel writer and photographer whose blog describes fun things to see and do in Texas and beyond. Here, you will get the personal side of my travels, with lots of photos, too.
I also write for Discovering Dallas - Fort Worth, a site full of tips for fun things to see and do in north Texas.

Comments are welcome. I would love to hear from you!
I was born in Texas and, even though I only lived there until I was 18 months old, I still consider myself a Texan. (Once a Texan, always a Texan.)
I would love to have those first two books and will have to try and find them online.
Here is one of my favorite quotes about being a Texan:
“Never ask a man where he’s from. If he’s from Texas, he’ll tell you. If he isn’t, you don’t want to embarrass him.”
When I first heard that phrase it had a different ending. It was:
“And if he isn’t, it doesn’t matter anyway.”
Either way, if you’re from Texas everyone you meet knows it.
Thanks for a great post. I will go try to find those books now.
Texas is quite a place. It’s like meeting someone with a really big personality. This state has got charisma, that’s for sure! I’ll bet those books are on Amazon. Where in Texas did you live? Thanks for your stopping by! ~Tui
Hey buddy! I didn’t know you were in Texas! Where? Merry Christmas.
Yup! I landed smack dab in the DFW area. Happy Holidays to you, too! :) ~Tui
Hi Mental! Welcome to Texas then! It is its own country here, true. But we do have just about every type of culture, terrain and landscape possible too. I’m south of ya in the Austin area…
Blessings,
Julia
I’m enjoying getting to know this big state, since, as I confessed to you earlier, I suck at geography. Nice to meet you, Julia! :) Thanks for stopping by. ~Tui
Very informative post! I never knew about all that stuff from Texas! Us northerners have no clue lol! I enjoyed this a lot and look forward to reading more of your posts.
Oh this post was too cute! I really enjoyed it. So you really are from Texas and seemed to have adjusted just fine. These book are cute and I guess every where has their own way of story telling and teaching…and you keep looking for them good ole adult books! LOL
I’ve lived in Belgium and Italy, but I’ve gotta say, Texas also feels like another country to me!
Thanks for visiting. I hope to see you here again!
