I'm proud of Texas. It's a great place to live and be from. Our economy is strong, our governor has beautiful hair, the men are brave, and our women are beautiful. Our roots go clear back to when we fought for our freedom a 176 years ago at the Alamo. It's a beautiful story. So much courage for those few men to stay and fight 5,000 Mexicans. My brother and his friend argued for five hours one time if the Alamo was a victory. The answer? Yes. It was. I don't care what Enos says. The fact that those men were cut off from all supplies and help and still managed to stay alive and keep the Alamo for as long as they did, while slaughtering a TON of Mexicans, it was a major victory. It gave the other Texans the time they needed to gather their troops so we could eventually catch Santa Anna running away in a woman's dress. The sissy. You'd have never caught Davy Crockett running away in a dress, he died fighting. But Texans just are that way. Strong, proud, and amazing.
Another important part of today's history is that the blessed Oreo turns 100. That is 100 years of amazing, chocolatey goodness. I think Oreos have made an amazing dent in our culture. Is there a more recognizeable cookie? Even those cows that have been around forever and ever, the ones that look like an Oreo, have lost their real name because everyone calls them Oreo cows. And we all know what cow I am talking about when I say that, even though I have no clue what they really are. Oreos are an amazing cookie and I am ever so grateful for their birth!
Happy birthday to a beautiful cookie-and Remember the Alamo!

I love Texas and this renewed my Texan pride. Thank you!
I must be from Wisconsin, and not Texas, because I surely know what Holstein cow is and have never heard of an "oreo cow." Too many 4th grade trips to the farm. :)
But the main point, Clare, is you knew what I was talking about when I said, "Oreo cow!" haha!
