I remember when I was a little girl I wanted so badly to be Miss Texas. I thought it would be the greatest thing ever. I think I watched the movie "State Fair" and decided then and there that my life would be all things Texas and that I would be Miss Texas. I remember the first time I ever flew into Austin I looked out the plane window and was amazed at how many trees were around Austin. Do you think every girl who is crowned Miss Texas immediately thinks "I want to be Miss America" or is being Miss Texas their goal? I think that would be an interesting study. Maybe UT could take it on. You know, I almost got a job there once. I wonder how my life would have evolved had I taken that job instead of the one in South Carolina. Let's put away all these lawsuit threats and get back to the good old days where we sat on our front porches. I will always remember the time when I was a little girl and our TV broke. Miss Texas was on that night and I cried and cried because I would not be able to watch it. My Mama and I went over to our next door neighbor's house Mr. & Mrs. Long so we could watch it there. It was a Saturday night and Mrs. Long was painting her nails for church the next day - a clear polish. She had a bottle of nail polish remover on the coffee table and she knocked it over and I will always remember that there was a pencil lying on the table and when that nail polish remover hit the pencil all the writing on the pencil melted off.
