Queso is considered a food group.
"Howdy" means "Hi, how are ya?" and usually includes a nod of the head. Go ahead, try it out, bet you can’t do it without the nod.
And cowboy hats….well….they’re big here. But, its windy….so you best hold on to hat….
A few other favorites…
when you are 18 months old, smelling pretty flowers includes puckering =)
And since I haven’t shared an entire session in quite a while, and because I love them all, CLICK HERE. Lily is one amazing little girl, I just adore her and we are so lucky to have such wonderful friends in her parents!
ps – I’ll be posting about Ty’s birthday tomorrow, then I’ll sit down and answer all the questions from "Ask me anything" on Sunday! Even my momma’s crazy question!!
Oh my, those are some adorable pictures! I just love how she’s hanging on to her hat! And the colors in her dress are so vibrant.

Good Morning:
I just thought I would throw in another coloquial variation on your “Howdy” usage / definition.
“Hidy” works in much the same way. Actually, many Texans don’t even respont to “Howdy” nearly as quickly as “Hidy”. It’s kind of the way someone with limited Spanish has to think for a few milliseconds if someone says “Ola” to translate that to “Hello” in English. And, not everyone in Texas wears cowboy boots and a Stetson or other cowboy hat, or even a ‘gimmie’ baseball (Think “John Deere” cap for that matter. It’s a popular myth. We all do own big ranches with thousands of cattle and dozens of oil (Pronoundced “All”) wells, though. *grin* [And, if you buy that, I have a causeway in Corpus Christi I’ll sell ya cheep!]
Furthermore, a slight nod is a good idea and is right in there along with the “hat tipping” you mentioned above.
Have a gud-un now, y’all.
Sincerely,
A fourth generation Travis County Texan
