Hello! I grew up near Corpus Christi, TX, and am wondering if there are any farm girls living in that area or any in the Destin, FL, area? Do I ever miss the water!

I am in college station, but went to college for a semester in corpus-that's where my mother's family is from. In fact, I was born in alice.
A big farm girl howdy to you-I'm glad you made it to the forum :) I think you'll be happy here.

I grew up in Corpus- live near Lake Charles now.
The beach & water here are very different since Rita rearranged things.
Blessings,

hi, i grew up in galveston county in a small town about 15 min. drive to the beach. i have been "inland" for for over 35 years, and i still miss the gulf coast. the water, the food and the folks.
just friday, my dh and i were doctoring our goats early in the morning and the breeze here was coming from the south and i told him i am so homesick for the gulf of mexico.
i hope we get to make a trip down there soon. oddly enough i have never been to corpus, but i have heard really nice things about it.
love

Thank you, ladies, for all your replies. I was sitting outside here in Middle TN yesterday where we live. We were having a day of cooler temps and there was a very nice breeze blowing. Suddenly as the wind blew, I got a whiff of the coast and just closed my eyes, smiled, and saw it in my mind. AHHHH!!!!!!
I was born in Panama City, FL, at the Air Force base there, but grew up in Ingleside, TX, which is very near Port Aransa, Rockport, and Corpus. I have an aunt and uncle and a cousin that still lives in the area there.
Have a great day, everyone!
Candy

so glad you said this, because i too sometimes smell the gulf here in north texas when the wind or breeze is just a certain way from the south. also during this time we will get an influx of laughing gulls. which really makes me long for the gulf coast.
my mom died about 5 years ago, so i dont make my winter trips home anymore to stay with her, i have a sister in houston, well, right now she is living in banghkok and her daughter lives around kemah so i do get to run down there, but it is long overdue.
i never went to rockport but have always heard wonderful things about that little town, even as a little girl.
love

hey Candy..well if you ever long for the Coast enough..and get homesick for it..I will have a home available here in P.C. come January. We are only about 3 miles from the AFB you mention and 2 blocks from the water.
I'll be moving to where my inlaws are and where my hubby grew up in Central Florida /horse country.
