new braunfels: My Day, My Say 3/6/2009 - 03/06/09 09:04 PM
Nothing much to say except that we need to enjoy each and every day as it comes. I took the boys to the park last week, we walked, we sniffed, we got chased by the geese. It was a good day.
I highly reccommend that if you can, take … (2 comments)

new braunfels: My Day, My Say 2/28/2009 - 02/28/09 11:27 PM
On the way home from San Antonio today, I took a side trip to look for inspiration at the Antique Rose Emporium. In the early 1980's owner Doug Shoup could be found out in the cow pastures around Independence, TX "RoseRustling" or liberating the old fashioned roses growing around there.His … (1 comments)

new braunfels: My Day, My Say 2/22/09 - 02/22/09 04:17 PM
I read a report today from Richard Fillip, RE/MAX of Texas. In it, he stated that 50% of all new jobs created in America in 2008 were in Texas.
Think some of those jobs could be in places like this? As REALTORS we are at the center of a new … (4 comments)

new braunfels: Child Safety??? - 02/15/08 06:03 PM
Here's another blast from the past. While wondering around in Guadalupe county, I found an abandoned building, I spied this inside a broken window. Does anyone remember this type of child "Safety Seat"?
It is a real improvement from the one I was plunked down in, but mine did have a … (0 comments)

The old low-water bridge on Gruene road leading from New Braunfels to Gruene has been torn down and is slowly being rebuilt. If you understand that everyone around here loved the bridge, but realized that it was dangerous, deadly and the time had come for it be replaced. We loved it on … (6 comments)

Lauren is fighting her way out of the coma! Last night, it was as bad as it could be. The family was told that if she survived, there was no way to determine what her brain function would be. All of this heartache and fear, is because she was either accidentally or was … (7 comments)

So much has happened the past couple of weeks. I haven't been able to write any blog entries because my old faithful laptop had a cardiac arrest. For a while, it looked as if there was going to be a family funeral but the computer was revived and I am assured that … (2 comments)

new braunfels: Historic Gruene Bridge Bites the Dust - 11/11/07 11:17 PM
Granted, the Guadalupe River low water bridge at Gruene it isn't THAT beautiful. It was built as a utilitarian way to cross an impetuous river. Two narrow lanes more sized for Model T's than SUV's. I'm sure no great architects were ever involved in it's construction. It wasn't a graceful arch or an … (1 comments)

new braunfels: Why I moved to the Hill Country of Texas - 11/11/07 10:32 PM
We wanted quiet. This is sooooo quiet, that I can actually hear the deer munching on the grass outside my bedroom window at night. I can also smell the skunks, hear the hawks and watch the clouds. I've seen ringtailed cats walking across the pasture & red fox & wild turkey … (0 comments)

Almost anyone who attended college in Texas, knows that one of the first Thursday nights in November is reserved for a quick trip to the New Braunfels Wurstfest and the "Ten Day Salute to the Sausage".
