Deep in the Heart of Texas...

There's one thing that's a given about the people of Texas....the pride of the state runs deep....whether a native or transplant, Texas is tops.

So today I got a surprise in the mail...a package from Grandma J.....when I learned the SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS would be playing the TEXAS RANGERS in WORLD'S SERIES I reached out to my Texas blogging friends to place bets....some CA Sees candies for something from TX. Now I did feel a bit sad rooting against my all time favorite player's former team....Nolan Ryan...but because I had to root against the Giants in 2002 BECAUSE I GREW UP ROOTING FOR NOLAN RYAN ON THE CA ANGELS....so this time, minus Barry Bonds, I had to root for S.F. (Next year Rangers....I promise!)

At any rate, Grandma J came through and here is what I got:

I can't wait to cook up a pot of Texas chili....I love hot food....and plant some Texas Blue Bonnets and hang that long horn from my Christmas tree.....and that card...it will be in front of the Christmas cards in my basket...because I am nice like that.

Thanks Grandma J!!!

YES!

They hadn't won since they were in New York....when there were no MLB teams west of the Mississippi....that was long before I was born.....so it was time....finally time.....the last time they were in the play offs, Daughter #1 had cancer....the time before that Daughter #2 was 5 months old....and now....they beat the awesome Texas Rangers, who are part owned by my most favorite player of all time....and the Rangers kicked some Yankee butt.....so all is well in S.F......just wish I could go to the parade tomorrow....but some of us have to work....and if I took a personal day it would take me hours to make plans.....so I will listen on the radio....and buy a World's Series t-shirt and celebrate the long over-due victory!

LET'S GO GIANTS!!

....although I would love to see the Giants win it at home....let's just end it tonight! (Sorry Grandma J and my TX friends!)

GIANTS ROCK!

Okay Grandma J....and Cortney and Running Girl.....I love the Rangers....(hence my BIG Foot Nolan Ryan,) BUT I live in the Bay Area...and I had to root for the Angels in 2002....my hometown team...(back when they were the California Angels FROM Anaheim not Los Angeles,) so now it's time to root for the Giants now that my least favorite player retired.

So....how about a bet for some Sees Candies from CA if the Giants loose in trade for some Texas ? if the Giants win??
