Down in the San Antonio, TX area we usually have a mild Winter however, we're always more than ready for Winter to end and Spring to arrive. As I drive the highways and byways of the Bexar, Kendall, Comal, and Guadalupe Counties showing homes to clients, I try to point out the different flowers that are blooming! Especially the Blue Bonnets -- we know Spring has arrived when our beloved Blue Bonnets start peaking through the grasses along the highway medians and in the open fields. They are followed by Indian Paintbrush, Indian Blanket, Lantana, Daisies, Verbena, Winecups and Thistles just to name a few. I've been taking pictures of our beautiful April Wildflowers since the Texas Real Estate Group announced their April Wildflower Contest. The show below includes pictures of flowers from Fredericksburg to San Antonio to Lockhart. I couldn't resist including some of all of the areas.

The San Antonio Woman’s Club Hat Contest, Luncheon & Style Show…Today, Monday, April 21, 2008, The San Antonio Woman's Club hosted their Annual Fiesta Hat Contest, Luncheon & Style Show. It was held at the RiverCenter Marriott located in downtown San Antonio. I arrived around 9:30 at the Woman's Club to await the shuttle van to take me and other members from our beautiful Clubhouse to the Hotel. Since I arrived early, I was able to help with some last minute details - like placing the Silent Auction items on the tables. Once that was finished, guests and members were arriving and I was able to take some photos of some of our Hat Contest Contestants.

It's April and San Antonio is in the early stages of celebrating our Annual Fiesta! Dates for this year's Fiesta are April 18th thru April 27th. There are 100 events this year scheduled over 10 days. Many events are free, however, the events that do require tickets sell out quickly. Check on the Official Fiesta Website for ticket information. A History of Fiesta Fiesta got it's beginning back in 1891 when a group of ladies decided to honor the heroes of The Alamo and Battle of San Jacinto with their own battle - a Battle of Flowers. They decorated their horse-drawn carriage, and bicycles with fresh flowers. The participants then pelted each other with the flowers. It was an immediate success and within a few years, more events were scheduled on or around April 21st. Early events included a carnival, balls and coronation of "royalty", street dancing, children's events, and parades. Fiesta has taken place every year except for 1918 (World War I) and 1942 thru 1945 (World War II). My Fiesta posts will be a series of posts providing the schedule of events with a description of each. Those that I manage to attend will have my own personal photos included. For this first post in the series, I have borrowed some of the photos from the 2007 Fiesta Events from the Official Fiesta Website.

Active Rain, Mexican Food and M & M’s in New Braunfels, TX
The reason, another Active Rain Meeting! I had mentioned to Carl & Ceil Winters that I would be in New Braunfels, TX for appointment this morning. Well, Ceil quickly checked Carl's schedule and he was already committed to do an Inspection. But, she had to be in New Braunfels to run some errands and suggested we meet for lunch! We decided to go to Mamacita's Mexican Restaurant on IH-35. My appointment was a little long but I called Ceil as soon as I was back in my car and on my way. She was already at the shopping center and said she'd be at the restaurant waiting for me. Of course, I got behind every slow car and caught every stop light between my client's house and the restaurant and then missed the turn and had to make a "U" turn and come back. I walked into the restaurant and there she was - sitting on a bench waiting for me!!! We recognized each other immediately, hugged and began to talk as they escorted us to our table. Orders for drinks (coke & iced tea) and food (enchiladas) were given and we continued to talk -- about Active Rain, Real Estate, Inspections, etc., etc. We had a great waiter - he was very patient with us - I think he came to our table 3 times to take our lunch order J When he brought the ticket, we realized it was time to leave. We asked the waiter to take our pictures with each of our cameras - which he graciously did. Then, Ceil reached over and handed me a gift bag she said Carl had sent me! See the contents in the picture. Note pads, business cards, a booklet on Home Maintenance and a small spiral notebook are all logical choices to include in a gift bag - but M & M's. Yes, the M & M's had to be included! You see I'm the M & M Queen of Active Rain. Ok, ok, read here - you'll understand and get a good laugh!!!

Teddy & Jean in their Beautiful Hats of Blue!
Today is a gray, cold, rainy, and very windy day in South Central Texas; but, I woke up ready and excited for my day to start. First, I had to stop by the office and then take the 30 minute drive up to New Braunfels, TX. I had an appointment scheduled with some former clients to discuss listing the house I sold them 3 years ago. Employer has asked them to relocate - they love their house and New Braunfels and will miss both but must move forward with their lives. That's not the reason I was excited for my day to start.
