Texas
The bluebonnet is the state flower of Texas, first named by the Legislature in 1901. Maybe you have stopped the car for a photo in a field of blue. Who is in that picture? Tell the story behind it: where you were headed, what the weather was doing and what everyone was laughing about. A small moment like that can turn out to be the very one the people you choose treasure most, because it shows them you.
Along Big Bend National Park, the Rio Grande forms the border between Texas and Mexico, and the river's great curve gives the park its name. Some Texans live their whole lives near a river like that; others only see it on a long drive west. What part of Texas made you? The Hill Country, the Panhandle, the coast, the border, a big city? Tell about the land, the weather and the neighbors who shaped how you see the world.
The Alamo began as Mission San Antonio de Valero, founded in 1718. After the Civil War, Texas ranchers drove longhorns north to the railheads in Kansas on the Chisholm Trail. History is never far away here, and you are part of it. Maybe you have stories of ranch work, a long move across the state or a first job in town. Your account of your own times is history too, and only you can give it.
