I walked into a bathroom today and met this creature. If he's harmless then it's too late. I now think he was probably the "good" variety of snake but when you are in a house all alone and meet up with one of these slithering creatures....instinct kicks in and you grab something to kill it. I cro...

I am soooooo happy to be home! We spent spring break with 5 of our kids and 2 others at Big Bend National Park in FAR west Texas. I am also glad that we went. The scenery was breathtaking. We started out our trip from Waller and stopped the first night at a KOA in Kerrville after 5 hours of drivi...

It's no secret that I love all things green and all things flowering. I live to garden. I unfortunately will not be able to attend this year but I want to share with my friends a plant sale that happens every year at Mercer Arboretum. I wish I could steal some of their pictures to post with this ...

For those of you that don't drive down 290 west, there is a new outlet mall coming to the Cypress area. I've driven by it several times and it looks to be almost complete. Some of the articles I have read say it is supposed to open in April or May 2008. Their website says the grand opening is Mar...

The Humble Rotary has an annual Spaghetti Dinner at the Humble Civic Club every year. The men all cook the spaghetti and serve it. The women make deserts and have a raffle. It is from 5-8.

Many have medicinal properties but you will have to do your own investigating in that area as I can not give medical advice. BLACKBERRY-IF you see these fl...

If you are new to South East Texas, thinking of relocating to southeast Texas (that would be in or around the Houston area in case you are confused!) or if you've been living in a closet for most  of your life, you may need or want to know a little more about what animals roam the Texas landscape...

Is it just me or did anyone else notice that the minute the media started "yapping" about how BAD the housing market was going and how fast the sky was falling that the phones went dead in some of our markets!? I mean...I've only been in real estate 3 years now but it was like we were hit with a ...

Gail requested that I post a blog on how I managed to raise my credit score 186 points in under 3 years so her wish is my command.....The short story goes like this. ...My husband was used to making a nice salary with a 20% annual bonus. I was a stay at home mom. The company decided to sell and s...

A little over two years ago my husband and I decided we needed to get our finances in order and work on being debt free when he was facing a layoff and took a substantial pay cut. I was just working on getting my real estate license. I had not yet gotten to the point where I would ask several peo...
