I owned a beautiful log home just outside of Liberty Hill, TX before I moved here two years ago. I can't think of a soul who didn't like that home...especially me. After I loaded the last box onto the truck...I sat on the porch overwhelmed with all the same feelings I felt on the last day of c...

There's not much in Bergheim...or at least in what most think Bergheim is. I legally live in Boerne, TX...but am closer to what most refer as Bergheim. And...when I refer to Bergheim...I am thinking of the corner of Highway 46 and 3351. Not much there...a Valero station, Taquitos, a hair salo...

One size fits all... Whoever coined that term must have been looking for a short cut to make some quick money. In theory it works...but in reality...there are a lot of folks walking around over-priced theme parks with t-shirts that they are swimming in or ones they are oozing out of. Neither ...

There's nothing quite more humbling than realizing you're not as smart as you thought you were. I think one of the first time's I realized that was when I was on my own and had no clue on how to stop a toilet from overflowing. I was on the phone with my Dad holding a plunger in one hand and get...

It's rare these days to find the exceptional restaurant...the one that you want to return to again and again and even deem it your "hang out" or "your restaurant". But, when you do find that special place...how can you keep it a secret? My husband and I were on our way home from church trying ...

I confess...I am a flight-miles-aholic. I will do anything to add another mile to my account to get a free flight...including eating at places I wouldn't normally go to. Recently, one of those trips to a new restaurant turned out to be a great decision. By far, some of the best Tex-Mex food I ...

This weekend I had the fortune to go to my very first "stock dog trial" in a little town just north of where I live...Kendalia, TX. The event took place on the old Noah ranch...a homestead rich with history. Close to 90 border collies competed by running a course where they would drive a set ...

Hannah, my step daughter, is a pro at showing her goats...but for me...well...it was my first rodeo. I had a privilege of going to my first stock show this past week where my 16 year old step daughter showed her goats, Curtis and Franklin. My husband grew up with this kind of lifestyle...so it ...

If you sit at work dreaming and thinking there's gotta me more than concrete sidewalks and this face paced life...then maybe it's time you find yourself again and start living the simplicity of the "rural lifestyle". It doesn't mean you have to give up your job...just give up living 10 feet away from your neighbor or starting your own garden or have that horse you've always dreamed of.
I have been a licensed Realtor for nearly 18 years with experience in new home construction, (both production and custom), log homes, and helping folks live the rural lifestyle. It would be my extreme pleasure to help you realize your dream.
