I am a Cowgirl at HeartBy Madelyn Miller
The only thing I ever roasted over a campfire was a marshmallow when I was a girl scout.
THANK YOU US GOVERNMENT for sending us to Texas.
I am a naturalized Texas citizen after living in Texas for nearly 35 years. But my love of Texas is no less than those native born. When I moved here, the rule was if you lived in Texas by choice for five years you were a native. Few other states are as welcoming. I have collected enough cowboy boots to shoe a whole posse of cowboys.

I was born in Chicago to parents who had never been west of
Illinois. My mother cooked gourmet meals and we ate out more frequently than any
of our friends.
There was no reason to believe I would grow up to be a
cowgirl. I married someone from the Midwest and only got to Texas because he was
drafted.
It was a world I might not have discovered if we had not
been stationed in San Antonio. Both my children were born in Texas, so they are
true Texans.
If you have the Texas spirit in your heart, here are some
books that help you understand our Cowboy Culture:
100 Years of Western Wear
The Art of the Boot
Cowboy Chic
Western Shirts
Nudie
Bob Wade’s Cowgirls
