About Me

Helen Teague is a native Californian who now lives in Texas. She owns nothing with fringe on it, has never been to a Rodeo, or uttered "yee-haw." (Ok, but that was only once at the start of a Nordstrom's Rack sale.)

Living in Texas is a similar to living in California in the 1960's.

Except there is no beach.
Or Palm Trees.
Or "In-N-Out" Burgers.

But there is Jimmy, and that makes all the difference. :)

Same Motto in 2007: If you can keep your head about you when all about you are losing theirs, it's possible you just haven't grasped the situation.
