Growing up in Houston was amazing!  I love the bluebonnets along the highway. I remember the rainstorms and thunderstorms.  I loved spending my summers in the swimming pools.  To this day, I think that Houston has the best food anywhere in the world!

I tell people who have never been to Houston that it is a great city to visit for a day to shop and eat and meet nice people. Houston is a special city which attracts tourists from all over the world. 

I always like to go to Neiman's for lunch and shopping.  I love the monkey bread and the strawberry butter. The salads are wonderful, too.  I also go to my Aunt Roz's house to see my niece, Haylie. 

My favorite time is in the fall because the leaves fall off of the trees, and the weather is cool and breezy. I love to go to the Houston Rodeo. It is a time to celebrate being a true American and enjoying life with family and friends. The Houston Rodeo has been a longtime tradition for my family over many decades.

One of my favorite Houston memories would be when I visited the Butterfly Museum [at the Houston Museum of Natural Science]. I remember the butterflies would come right up and land on your shoulders. I also liked to go to the Children’s Museum.  They had cool interactive areas, and we had Haylie’s 6th birthday party there.  We had everyone dress up like the '50s - we had a wonderful time. 

I LOVE to eat at James Coney Island and eat chili dogs and frito pies. I love Shipley's donuts—they have Kolaches, and they are to die for! I love Mexican food at Escalante's. I like to shop at the Galleria, particularly Neiman's and the David Yurman store. 

I will always love Houston. It is a great place to live and raise a family.
