There’s a sub-division off N 500 W by Hatches Corner called Leigh Meadows that I pass by every morning. I’ve been watching it come alive with a new home under construction, sparkling ponds and spacious land. It gets it’s name from the nearby waterway called Leigh Creek, but it has a personal meaning to me, as Leigh is my real first name.
My Texas daddy was named ET (Eugene Thomas) and my birth name was Leigh James. Divorce happened, but if I’d grown up in Texas I would have been LJ, ET’s boy! Somewhere along the way it got changed to James Leigh with a new surname popped on the end, and ultimately shortened to Jim. Hmmm, busdriverleigh.com?
And the view’s not bad either…
