40 Things I Love About Texas

How much do I love Texas, my family's home since 1848? In honor of the 40th anniversary of Southern Living, here are 40 reasons, in no particular order except for the first and last.

The Left Bank

The Left Bank

Ah, Marfa. Along with Alpine and Fort Davis, these enclaves on the left bank of the Pecos River thrive with arts (and cowboys) in a dry, distant, and magnificent land.

The Right Bank
Residents of the Brazos de Dios community, located on a bluff above the Brazos River, farm with animals and cleave to old ways made new again.

The River Banks
No other city but San Antonio beckons you outdoors with a stroll like the one along the River Walk, where air, music, water, and laughter form the streetscape. Mine often ends at Boudro's with Texas Tapas.
