 TX: Walker County: Huntsville: Elkins Lake:

It’s Puppy Time!

Ahhh….I love the morning!  It’s very peaceful .  And  I just love when it’s so quiet that you can hear the appliances hum. 

I love to put on a pot of strong coffee  and get the newspaper out of the driveway (my dogs are too “high maintenance” to fetch the paper).  Then, I read the Sunday paper, do a sudoku puzzle, check the Walgreen’s ad to see if my brand of make-up is on sale this week. 

Then……It’s “Puppy Time!”

“Puppy Time” is a phrase my husband coined.  “Puppy Time” is a “Love-fest” of kissing and belly rubbing, playing and getting fingers and toes bitten by sharp puppy teeth.  We LOVE “Puppy Time.” 

So, now that “Puppy Time” has officially commenced, the puppinos are now “helping me” to read the Sunday paper by carrying various sections of said paper to different parts of the house. 

Then, to their delight, they eagerly “prepare” the paper for “composting” by tearing into small pieces. 

So, as you can imagine, the newspaper reading is not going well.  What to do?????

Then, “eureka,” I have a great idea……….time for a “Puppino Stroll!”  They will be in a contained spaceand we can all get some fresh air.

But, what will they wear???????  Well, it is that time of year that red suits with black belts with goldbuckles are all the rage.  And ,what could be prettier on a little princess at this time of year than a red dress trimmed in white--complete with a white ribbon sash. 

It was indeed time for the Puppino Stroller! 

So, equipped with my iPhone and iPad, a blanket for each baby, plenty of puppino toys and a diet coke for mommy, we headed for the fishing dock.

Now, among the MANY things I LOVE about Elkins Lake (the subdivision where I live)—

·        I LOVE the main lake

·        the fishing dock  

·        walking across the dam

·        watching for a Bald Eagle sighting

·        or even spying the resident alligator. 

If you’ve read my blogs, you already know how much I love “porch settin’ and a rockin.’”  In Elkins Lake. 

  If you want to read more specifics about Elkins Lake, check out Here it is----Elkins Lake!

Now, I add to the list of things I LOVE about Elkins Lake:  “Puppy Time Strolls!  I can’t wait to take the puppinos to the new Elkins Lake walking trail around the lake at sunset.  They will love it!

You know, this is a beautiful time of year

in many ways.  It’s a time to reflect, a time to enjoy your family.  My puppinos are my children.  I love them very much. 

So, here’s to lots of Sunday Morning, Tuesday Evening, Thursday twilight “Puppy Time Strolls.”

Because at our house, the best times are “Puppy Time!”

Why You Should Consider Living in a College Town…I Do! Huntsville TX

GO BEARKATS!

Huntsville Texas is a great size town of 38,548 (2010 Census) and has enjoyed 9.9% growth. It is located just 35 minutes up I-45 from The Woodlands and less than an hour from Houston.  It is located in the middle of EVERYTHING including the

Sam Houston Forest and about 30 minutes from Lake Livingston and Lake Conroe.  This gives everyone great access to great outdoor activities such as hiking,

       boating, biking, fishing,

canoeing, and camping at Huntsville State Park and National Forest Recreation Areas.

Now for the College Town part. Sam Houston State University was founded in 1879 and currently has an enrollment of over 17,600.  It is the fastest growing University in Texas.   SHSU brings a high level of culture without having to be in a large metropolitan area.  And in case you haven’t noticed, SHSU also brings a high level of sporting events. 

BearKats Football  is ranked #1 in the Nation   and is only one of two Division I teams that are undefeated. They played last night in the National Semifinals and for the second week in a row, the game was broadcast on ESPN (this is BIG TIME for our town!). 

Check out the 67 foot statue of Sam Houston on I-45 (the largest statue of an American Hero) because it will be lighted orange tonight through the National Championship game in honor of the SHSU BearKats FOOTBALL!

Living in a college town gives residents of Huntsville access to Theater Productions, Music Dept. Concerts in a GORGEOUS new performance facility,

  a Variety of Sporting Events, Art Exhibits, Well Known Speakers, History and Museums, Parks and many other perks.  We even went to hear the Houston Symphony in the beautiful new performance hall right here in Huntsville.  College kids also keep you young.   (We can try & hope)

Come check out Huntsville Texas, a great college town, a great place to retire and a great place to live !

Sunday was a wonderful day.  Blue Sky, amazing temperatures--72 degrees after the HOTTEST Summer on Record caused me to put on long pants and a little sweater!  Who da' thunk it?!

My husband and I took a true "day off."  We sat outside, read the paper (read the Houston Chronicle AND the Huntsville Item on our iPads--I guess times have changed), watched the birds, enjoyed our  "puppinos," and all of the sights, smells and sounds.

So, I guess it is safe to say----LIFE IS GOOD!  I love to Enjoy Every Day.  There are always "things to catch up on"and "things to do."  Somehow, magically, the dishes will wait as does the laundry.  We really enjoyed our day.  Now "BACK TO WORK!"
