- 11/01/11 06:57 AM
How many homes have sold in San Antonio, Texas? (October 2011 vs. October 2010) The San Antonio, Texas market has changed. I find it informative to look at it & compare it in many different way's every so often. A very interesting statistic from year to year is the number of homes that have sold for any given month. The comparison I am using with the graph below is for single family homes only. The dates I am using are October 2011 vs. October 2010.
Big difference. 452 homes to be exact. October isn't historically what we would call … (0 comments)

Oh the things you will find in San Antonio, Texas.... It hadn't happened yet......I was shocked to hear about it (& grossed out!) BUT, I finally had - My first encounter with a critter in one of my listings:
That my friends is a ring-tailed CAT! He really wasn't more than two pounds but he looked scary, barked like a dog & left a lot of "presents" in the attic of the home. Surprisingly enough, the buyers wanted him extracted from their new home, so we obliged. He is now roaming around in the wild. Hopefully he found his friends … (10 comments)
texas: Name this baby boy!
- 05/26/10 07:08 AM
I am in serious need of a name for the baby that is growing in my belly. Barb Szabo inspired me to put it out to the bloggers on AR so, We don't want anything too common or popular but tell us what you think we should name the baby! Oh, and we are leaning towards a name that starts with a T! If you need to see him to get a good feel for a name, take a look:
I seriously hope this doesn't have any serious repercussions that come with it later - with the little man. … (38 comments)

texas: And the rain keeps coming down in San Antonio, Texas!
- 09/12/09 11:10 AM
And the rain keeps coming down in San Antonio, Texas! We've been moaning & groaning about it for months. Grass, plants & our spirits were dead. Fireworks were cancelled on the 4th of July & the "burn ban" has been in effect I can't even remember how long. We've tried doing the "rain dance" as well as the "go away drought disco", heck we even got desperate & started doing the "flooding fandango" ALL, without any luck. Sometime last week all our hopes were answered, it started to RAIN! Little baby drops then great big drops then for days non-stop & everything … (15 comments)

texas: Hand Carved Candles & More ~ Fredericksburg, Texas
- 03/07/09 02:56 PM
Fredericksburg is a very popular place for Texans to visit. About an hour from San Antonio, Fredericksburg provides shopping, dining and entertainment like no other. Fredericksburg is in the heart of the hill country and blends a mixture of German heritage with Texas! What a combination. We recently visited the quaint city of a tad over 11,000 people to do a little shopping. What we found was so much more! Stopping into Hand Carved Candles & More we were amazed to watch the owner making the candles right before her customers eyes. Beautifully hand made, colorful candles made for any occasion are … (16 comments)
