Most Beautiful Homes In Texas
June 17th, 2008
Question: Texas, Tennessee, or Kentucky?
My picks: First, Texas. Second (by a longshot, but I still love it,) Tennessee.
Texas: some of the friendliest people anywhere; huge, thriving cities (D/FW, Austin, San Antonio, Houston,) great job market, eclecticism in Austin, history in San Antonio and Ft. Worth, beaches, mountains, prairies, deserts, corn nuggets, Houston Astros, a great state! And the women...wow!
Tennessee: laid-back, people are shy at first but easy to warm up to you, beautiful mountains, music scene in Nashville, the bars and blues in Memphis, Fort Donelson, nothing like the smell of a pine forest on a rainy day! I honestly think it's the most beautiful of the three states!
Kentucky, while beautiful, is no hotbed of economic growth and progessive thinking. The politicians have helped to prohibit growth and development. People are, by and large, very snooty and hateful; small towns are very sheltered and closed off to "the outside." I'm a native who has NEVER felt comfortable or at home there.
Answer: Tennessee.
Texas is hot.
I've never been to Kentucky.

Question: Does anybody have information about the beautiful objects made by Puritan women that adorned Puritan homes?
For instance, Puritan women wove beautifully designed bedspreads and embroidered colorful chair seat covers.
PLEASE CITE THE SOURCES!!!!
Answer: Early homes in America were not exactly "adorned":
