There are quite a few of us from Washington State here, too. Escaping the dismal gray murky skies and 9-10 months per year of incessant rain with temperatures in the 40's and 50's most of the time. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
Paradise is sooooooooo nice!

What part of Texas are you from? What island are you on?
We are from NW of Austin.

This is one way you tell if someone is a Real Texan, just ask them the following questions. A real Texan will unhesitatingly(?) know the answers>
Q - Do you know what the plural of "You" is?
A - "Y'all"
Q - Do you know what the plural of "Y'all" is?
A - "All Y'all"
Q - Do you you know what the plural of "All Y'all" is?
A - "You'ins"
There may be more, but you would have to ask a Real Texan. Just a sample of things I learned living in Dallas. LOL

No Kiddin'... LOL!!!
Yeah, "you'ins"... I didn't hear it often, but I first heard it in Dallas... maybe the fella who said it was smokin' a corncob pipe... can't remember.
Texas is next to Arkansas, isn't it? Maybe it's a little cultural exchange that's been adopted by some there... hehehe. Besides, it does sound like the next step of a natural progression of "You", "Y'all", "All Y'All" doesn't it?
I just read on Xanga.xom the next plural is "All You'ins"... WTF?
