KATY HOME FINDER; KATY4U: US MEN'S SOCCER TEAM PLAYS IN ROUND OF 16 ON JUNE 26, 2010 AT 2:30 PM EDT - 06/25/10 05:16 PM
All of you who watched the US beat Algeria 1-0 the other day had a special treat in my opinion. What a special game and how about that US goal in 91 st minute of play!!! Talk about an exciting game. The US during entire second half had one wave after another of offensive surges and Algeria had a few quick counterattacks that made this game really exciting. Once again the US was robbed by a bad offsides call during the first half but they rose above the nonsense ( political?) and won the game. Even if you don't follow soccer you can … (0 comments)

KATY HOME FINDER: US MEN'S WORLD CUP SOCCER PLAYS HUGE GAME ON 6/23/2010 - 06/22/10 06:06 PM
Well Soccer fans this is just what we have been waiting for as the US Men's Team plays Algeria tomorrow at 9:30 EDT and 8:30 CST for an opportunity to advance out of Group play and advance to the quarterfinals.

We all saw it several times but GET over it. If the US wins tomorrow we advance it is as simple as that .. Just Win Baby!!! If we tie it becomes complicated and … (0 comments)

KATY HOME FINDER: THE BEST BBQ IN TEXAS - SWINGING DOOR RESTAURANT RICHMOND, TX - 06/20/10 06:36 PM
Earlier today I wrote a blog about last minute Dad's day gifts. One of the items I mentioned is to take him out to his favorite restaurant. I am walking the walk as we have ordered Swinging Door BBQ for Father's Day Dinner and I just came back from picking it up. We love being in our own home here in Katy, TX and the convenience of having anything a person wants easily accessible including great BBQ. That is why many times we stay home in our home so we can enjoy it. I grew up in the north but I … (0 comments)

KATY HOME FINDER : NEED LAST MINUTE FATHER'S DAY GIFT? - 06/20/10 02:41 PM
Happy Father's Day to all the Dads or surrogate Dads that are out there. If you are sitting there and have not found a gift or taken the time to get poor Dad a gift here are few of my quick suggestions:
1) If Dad lives out of town try something really novel these days... Call him on the phone and have a real conversation. Forget the text message. Dad's love to speak to their children especially when Dad knows the child is not staring at a phone or a PC and texting or social networking with all of their friends. On Mother's … (0 comments)
