      <description>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Play Well With Others and They Will Play Nice With You!-Cindy Cranston-RE/MAX Vista, Floresville/San Antonio, TX.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;I'm sure, if asked, you could name an agent that is difficult to work with. An agent that has a chip on his/her shoulder, who&amp;nbsp;looks at other agents as if the are stealing directly from&amp;nbsp;his/her pocket. Do you know someone who fits this description? Do you fit this description?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/7/8/2/9/ar125847911192876.jpg&quot; height=&quot;234&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;350&quot; style=&quot;float: right;&quot; /&gt;This week I took on the responsibility of assisting in mentoring a new agent in our office. Before getting her license she worked as a receptionist in a local real estate office that has a reputation for being difficult to work with. Most agents in this office have a very territorial approach to real estate. They look at other agents as encroaching on their territory. They can only see what might be lost in playing nice with these agents, not what there is to gain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you gain in playing well with others?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A professional reputation &lt;/strong&gt;for being easy to work with. Having a good reputation gives you a professional advantage over your competition. Other professionals will want to work with you. Buyer's and Seller's will be attracted to your positive attitude. Your business will benefit directly from this attitude.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;In today's market, we need each other more than ever. &lt;strong&gt;Play Well With Others and They Will Play Nice With You.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

She represents both &lt;strong&gt;homeowners&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;home buyers&lt;/strong&gt; in these areas.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Counseling Buyers To Be Considerate Of The Sellers Emotions Toward Selling Their Home.</title>
      <description>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Counseling Buyers To Be Considerate Of The Sellers Emotions Toward Selling Their Home.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We live in a time when many people are &lt;strong&gt;selling their homes&lt;/strong&gt; not because they're &lt;strong&gt;upgrading&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;moving for their job&lt;/strong&gt;. Many are &lt;strong&gt;selling their homes&lt;/strong&gt; because the have lost their jobs and can no longer afford the lifestyle the have. These families that worked hard to obtain the &lt;strong&gt;dream of home ownership&lt;/strong&gt; are forced to sell, a lot of times at a loss, due to the &lt;strong&gt;current economic situation&lt;/strong&gt; and less than stellar&lt;strong&gt; housing market&lt;/strong&gt;. These tougher times make it necessary to be over &lt;strong&gt;diligent in educating&lt;/strong&gt; potential &lt;strong&gt;home buyers&lt;/strong&gt; to be considerate in respect to the &lt;strong&gt;homeowners &lt;/strong&gt;emotions in selling their home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Counseling Buyers To Be Considerate Of The Sellers Emotions Toward Selling Their Home.&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/6/1/5/1/ar125883452215162.jpg&quot; height=&quot;100&quot; alt=&quot;Counseling Buyers To Be Considerate Of The Sellers Emotions Toward Selling Their Home.&quot; width=&quot;150&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Home buyers&lt;/strong&gt; must understand that while they look at a &lt;strong&gt;property&lt;/strong&gt; from&amp;nbsp;the &lt;strong&gt;cost stand point&lt;/strong&gt;, to a &lt;strong&gt;homeowner &lt;/strong&gt;this is their home. &lt;strong&gt;A home&lt;/strong&gt; where they may have watched their children grow. &lt;strong&gt;A home&lt;/strong&gt; where they may have said good-bye to a spouse. &lt;strong&gt;A home&lt;/strong&gt; with love and memories. &lt;strong&gt;REALTORS&amp;copy;&lt;/strong&gt; and potential &lt;strong&gt;home buyers&lt;/strong&gt; need to be respectful of this and &lt;strong&gt;have tact when critiquing&amp;nbsp;someones home&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;

These agents have nothing good to say about themselves, so they &lt;strong&gt;'Trash Talk'&lt;/strong&gt; about others. &lt;strong&gt;Professional&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;REALTORS&amp;copy;&lt;/strong&gt;can clearly articulate what sets them apart from the competition.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Professional REALTORS&amp;copy;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;build up the image of the &lt;strong&gt;real estate industry&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Professional REALTORS&amp;copy;&lt;/strong&gt;get ahead by assisting others, being knowledgeable of &lt;strong&gt;industry trends&lt;/strong&gt;, being someone who is &lt;strong&gt;reliable and easy to work with&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Professional REALTORS&amp;copy; &lt;/strong&gt;make it a point to steer clear of 'T&lt;strong&gt;rash Talk'&lt;/strong&gt; because they understand that what you say about others, says a lot about you!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What image do you want to portray to others?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Floresville ISD Needs to Rename New Floresville North Campus--Calaveras Campus--Floresville, TX 78114</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/3/5/0/3/ar125814619930539.jpg&quot; height=&quot;149&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; style=&quot;float: right;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Floresville ISD Needs to Rename New Floresville North Campus--Calaveras Campus--Floresville, TX 78114&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 2010 school year will welcome a new elementary school to the &lt;strong&gt;Floresville &lt;/strong&gt;area. This event is highly anticipated and necessary for the growth and development of the &lt;strong&gt;Floresville community&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Construction is nearing completion, and the &lt;strong&gt;Floresville North campus&lt;/strong&gt; is looking great, the only change I would like to see is in the name. The new school is in an older area 'historically' known as '&lt;strong&gt;Calaveras&lt;/strong&gt;' and the school should reflect this in its name.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Calavares&lt;/strong&gt; was originally established in the early 1860's as &lt;strong&gt;'Wright, TX'&lt;/strong&gt;, originally&amp;nbsp;in part of &lt;strong&gt;Bexar county&lt;/strong&gt;. In 1869 a boundary change placed &lt;strong&gt;Calaveras&lt;/strong&gt; in Northern &lt;strong&gt;Wilson county&lt;/strong&gt;. In 1885 the name was changed to '&lt;strong&gt;Calaveras&lt;/strong&gt;' with the granting of a post office.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Floresville ISD&lt;/strong&gt; should research the area history and rename the &lt;strong&gt;Floresville Elementary North Campus&lt;/strong&gt; the &lt;strong&gt;Calaveras Campus&lt;/strong&gt; to preserve the history of this area.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is just one citizens opinion, what do you think?&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Got Passion!!! Nothing Great In The World Has Ever Been Accomplished Without Passion.</title>
      <description>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Got Passion!!! Nothing Great In The World Has Ever Been Accomplished Without Passion.&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/5/4/3/5/ar125761491153456.JPG&quot; height=&quot;333&quot; alt=&quot;Got Passion!!! Nothing Great In The World Has Ever Been Accomplished Without Passion.&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; style=&quot;float: right;&quot; /&gt;Got Passion!!! Nothing Great In The World Has Ever Been Accomplished Without Passion.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Having passion in life is the single most important aspect of truely living.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Passion is not some mushy Soap Opera romance. Passion is a true purpose and enjoyment for how you live and what you do.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A passionate person is enjoys who they are and what they are doing. If you are not enjoying what you do then it is time to do something else.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A passionate person has the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://cindycranston.com/post/1187601/the-heart-of-a-teacher-does-helping-other-s-make-us-a-better-realtor-&quot; title=&quot;Heart of a Teacher&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;'Heart of a Teacher'&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. They understand that life is not about 'who you know' or 'what you know.' Life is about what you pass on to others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A passionate person seeks to &lt;strong&gt;inspire&lt;/strong&gt; and be inspired in every aspect of their day to day life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A passionate person &lt;strong&gt;never settles&lt;/strong&gt; for normal. They never surrender. They never give up on their passions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A passionate person can find happiness in the smallest tasks when the task&amp;nbsp;involves something&amp;nbsp;they are passionate about.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am blessed to be a very passionate person. &lt;strong&gt;You only get one chance at life, find your passion, you might as well be happy. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>If The Saints Go To The Super Bowl I Will Be There!! Never Say Never!</title>
      <description>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;If The Saints Go To The Super Bowl I Will Be There!! Never Say Never!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;I have been 'Happily' married to the most wonderful man for 13 years. The secret to our marriage has been that we are very &lt;strong&gt;'like minded'&lt;/strong&gt; on most subjects. The one area we disagree is on who we follow in sports. I tease my husband that he is a &lt;strong&gt;'fair weather fan'&lt;/strong&gt;. He follows the &lt;strong&gt;Dallas Cowboys&lt;/strong&gt;, and the&lt;strong&gt;Tampa Bay Buccanears&lt;/strong&gt; (just to annoy me). He tends to be more of a fan for the team that is playing better, this year that's Dallas. &lt;img title=&quot;If The Saints Go To The Super Bowl I Will Be There!! Never Say Never!&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/0/7/0/0/ar125761714000703.jpg&quot; height=&quot;276&quot; alt=&quot;If The Saints Go To The Super Bowl I Will Be There!! Never Say Never!&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; style=&quot;float: right;&quot; /&gt;I am and have always been a 'die hard New Orleans Saints fan. I have endured &lt;strong&gt;YEARS &lt;/strong&gt;of great starts, and disappointing finishes, but have never faultered in my devotion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Several years ago&amp;nbsp;my husband&amp;nbsp;promised me that if my 'Aints' as he calls them ever made it to the &lt;strong&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/strong&gt; he would take me. At the time he stated that this would not happen in my lifetime, so he had nothing to worry about. I upped the stakes and told him that he would have to wear a &lt;strong&gt;Saints jersey&lt;/strong&gt; and paint a &lt;strong&gt;flore de lis &lt;/strong&gt;on his face. He agreed, thinking this was one promise that he would never have to honor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Well it's now 2009, and half way through the season my beloved &lt;strong&gt;Saints &lt;/strong&gt;are undefeated. They look strong to make it to the play-offs. My husband is getting a little nervous.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Never say never. &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy's_law&quot; title=&quot;Murphy's law &quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Murphy's law&lt;/a&gt; has a way of coming back to bite you. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Texas Joke of the Day-Floresville, TX 78114.</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Texas Joke of the Day-Floresville, TX 78114.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;cowboy &lt;/strong&gt;rode into town and stopped at a saloon for a drink. When he finished his drink, he found his horse had been stolen. He went back into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the air, caught it above his head without even looking and fired a shot into the ceiling. &quot;Which one of you yella bellies stole my horse?!?!?&quot; he yelled with surprising forcefulness. No one answered. &quot;Alright, I'm gonna have another beer, and if my horse ain't back outside by the time I finish, I'm gonna do what I dun in &lt;strong&gt;Texas&lt;/strong&gt;! And I don't like to have to do what I dun in &lt;strong&gt;Texas&lt;/strong&gt;!&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the locals shifted restlessly. The man, true to his word, had another beer, walked outside, and his horse has been returned to the post. He saddled up and started to ride out of town. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bartender wandered out of the bar and asked, &lt;strong&gt;&quot;Say partner, before you go... what happened in Texas?&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;cowboy&lt;/strong&gt; turned back and said, &lt;strong&gt;&quot;I had to walk home.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Wisdom! Have A Little You Can Spare? Today's Words Of Wisdom.</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Wisdom! Have A Little You Can Spare?&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/7/0/2/2/ar12542412422073.jpg&quot; height=&quot;270&quot; alt=&quot;Wisdom! Have A Little You Can Spare?&quot; width=&quot;180&quot; style=&quot;float: right;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wisdom! Have A Little You Can Spare? Today's Words Of Wisdom.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Proverbs 4:6-7&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not forsake &lt;strong&gt;wisdom&lt;/strong&gt;, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. &lt;strong&gt;Wisdom&lt;/strong&gt; is supreme; therefore get &lt;strong&gt;wisdom&lt;/strong&gt;. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wisdom&lt;/strong&gt; is the ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you share the &lt;strong&gt;wisdom&lt;/strong&gt; you have learned through personnel experiences with others? Do you share your &lt;strong&gt;wisdom&lt;/strong&gt;with others in a way that encourages and doesn't belittle? There is always something more we can learn and something more we can pass on to others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let me start with a lesson I had to &lt;strong&gt;learn the hard way&lt;/strong&gt;; As a child I had to &lt;strong&gt;learn the hard way&lt;/strong&gt; why my Granny told me not to run with scissors in my hands. It took 6 stitches and a scar that is still visible in my eyebrow for me to learn that you shouldn't run with scissors, but I have passed on my wisdom in this matter to my &lt;strong&gt;children&lt;/strong&gt;. I do not just tell them not to do it, I show them the scar, that gets there attention.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I believe that&lt;strong&gt; wisdom&lt;/strong&gt; is gained in learning from your mistakes in life, and not repeating those mistakes. Everyone needs a second chance just don't blow it by making the same mistakes. Learn from the mistakes of your past, forgive yourself and move on. Then use those life lessons to pass on your wisdom to the next generation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These are my &lt;strong&gt;words of wisdom&lt;/strong&gt; for today. What are yours?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cindy Cranston&lt;/strong&gt; is a &lt;strong&gt;REALTOR&amp;copy; with RE/MAX Vista&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;living and doing business in the South &lt;strong&gt;San Antonio&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Floresville&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;La Vernia&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Texas market&lt;/strong&gt;.

      <description>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The 65th Annual Floresville Peanut Festival&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;October 8, 9, 10, 2009&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In&amp;nbsp;downtown Floresville around the &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Courthouse Square&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;The 65th Annual Floresville Peanut Festival-October 8, 9, 10, 2009-In downtown Floresville around the Courthouse Square.&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/1/8/5/1/ar125424411015819.jpg&quot; height=&quot;199&quot; alt=&quot;The 65th Annual Floresville Peanut Festival-October 8, 9, 10, 2009-In downtown Floresville around the Courthouse Square.&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In July of 1938, plans for the first festival to celebrate the &lt;strong&gt;farming and harvesting&lt;/strong&gt; of the &lt;strong&gt;peanut crop&lt;/strong&gt; were discussed. This festival was planned to promote the peanut and to show the world wide success of &lt;strong&gt;Wilson County's farming program&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In August of 1938, the name of this proposed festival was changed from &quot;&lt;strong&gt;Floresville Peanut Pow Wow&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; to &quot;&lt;strong&gt;Floresville Peanut Festival&lt;/strong&gt;.&quot; This festival was considered the first of its kind in Texas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;The 65th Annual Floresville Peanut Festival-October 8, 9, 10, 2009-In downtown Floresville around the Courthouse Square.&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/6/0/1/4/ar12542441741067.jpg&quot; height=&quot;195&quot; alt=&quot;The 65th Annual Floresville Peanut Festival-October 8, 9, 10, 2009-In downtown Floresville around the Courthouse Square.&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This years is the &lt;strong&gt;65&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;Annual Floresville Peanut Festival&lt;/strong&gt;, and promises to be fun for the entire family.&lt;/p&gt;

She represents both &lt;strong&gt;homeowners&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;home buyers&lt;/strong&gt; in these areas.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;MY PROMISE TO YOU:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unlike the &lt;strong&gt;traditional agent&lt;/strong&gt;, I am a &lt;strong&gt;professional REALTOR&amp;copy;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I adhere to the &lt;strong&gt;REALTOR&amp;copy; code of ethics&lt;/strong&gt; set forth by the &lt;strong&gt;National Association of&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;REALTORS&amp;copy;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I put my client's best interest above my own at all times.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I act with honesty and integrity with clients, customers and other professionals I come in contact with in the day to day operations of my business.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I understand that each property and client&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;unique and work with my &lt;strong&gt;buyers and sellers&lt;/strong&gt; to realize their true desires and goals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I understand and utilize the &lt;strong&gt;latest technologies&lt;/strong&gt; to ensure the properties I market get the best exposure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I meet with my &lt;strong&gt;sellers&lt;/strong&gt; to customize a &lt;strong&gt;marketing strategy&lt;/strong&gt; that fits their needs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I communicate openly with my client's, I am always open to constructive suggestions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are tired of the &lt;strong&gt;traditional agent&lt;/strong&gt; who is unable to articulate what makes them different from the other 7000+ agents in your area, and are &lt;strong&gt;ready to work with a professional, give me a call.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Urgent Prayer For This Sweet Baby Girl!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yesterday 9/28/09&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Urgent Prayer For This Sweet Baby Girl! &lt;/strong&gt;I ask anyone reading this to take a few moments and &lt;strong&gt;pray in Jesus &lt;/strong&gt;name for the complete and total healing of 6 year old Angelina Villareal. Angelina is the daughter of some very dear friends and one of my daughters best friends. She got the flu and it turned into pneumonia, and she has not been responding well to treatment. She is in surgery right now to place a chest tube and a central line. The illness has also caused her platelet levels to drop to a very low level.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Lina and Riley&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/2/9/8/8/ar125416910188926.JPG&quot; height=&quot;293&quot; alt=&quot;Lina and Riley&quot; width=&quot;220&quot; style=&quot;float: right;&quot; /&gt;This sweet and vibrant child needs your prayers, please take a moment out of your day and say a prayer for her in &lt;strong&gt;Jesus most precious name&lt;/strong&gt;. Also &lt;strong&gt;pray for her family&lt;/strong&gt;, pray for strength and comfort as they go through this ordeal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Riley is in car seat and Angelina in in the seat belt. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thank all you &lt;strong&gt;prayer warriors&lt;/strong&gt;, in advance for for your prayers in this matter. &lt;strong&gt;May God bless&lt;/strong&gt; you and your family.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Today 9/30/09&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Thank-you for your prayer. I received this letter as an update from Lina's mom this morning.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hi there&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you sooo much for your prayers. The latest on Lina is that after her platelets were 19 she had a transfusion and then they were 118.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went to surgery for 2 hours and got a central line and they removed gelantin like junk from outside her lung. It was nasty, we got a pic. Also blood loss was 20cc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We didnt go to ICU! She didnt require a ventilator afterwards and was breathing better. She coughed in recovery but all night long hasnt coughed anymore. Her heartrate dropped to a normal rate too! Also, she had a fever in recovery but none all night, praise God. She slept all night, poor baby and has gotten up twice to the bathroom in pain but does so well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will most likely be moving to a surgical ward today and just wait and&amp;nbsp;see what&amp;nbsp;she does. She needs very minimal oxygen and the chest tube was left in to drain, and thats draining well. Also, her platelets last night were 115.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They took cultures in the OR but we still dont know what germ this is except a positive rhinovirus (common cold)&lt;br /&gt;This is a great report! Im very happy.Praises to my King!&lt;br /&gt;Liza&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9/30/09&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lena is off oxygen and appears to be well on her way to a full recovery. Please keep up the prayers. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Praise be to God. Keep praying for this sweet little girl and her family. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On a sadder Note.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please pray for the family of Luke Pollok. This brave and beautiful ten year old lost his year long battle with cancer this afternoon. You can read his story at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/lukepollok&quot;&gt;http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/lukepollok&lt;/a&gt;. Pray for strength and comfort for this family.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Banks vs. Mortgage Lenders-- Too Many Choices! How Do You Know What Your Getting?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Banks vs. Mortgage Lenders&lt;/strong&gt;-- Too Many Choices! How Do You Know What Your Getting?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are &lt;strong&gt;buying a home&lt;/strong&gt; chances are you will be using a &lt;strong&gt;mortgage&lt;/strong&gt;, and there are some BIG differences between &lt;strong&gt;mortgage brokers&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ae.bankofamerica.com/williameackerman%20&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;bank loan officers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. I hope this information assist you in making an educated decision as to which will better suit your needs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ae.bankofamerica.com/williameackerman%20&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;bank loan officer&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/0/6/3/2/ar125391171023601.jpg&quot; height=&quot;148&quot; alt=&quot;bank loan officer&quot; width=&quot;220&quot; style=&quot;float: left;&quot; /&gt;Bank loan officers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;or &lt;strong&gt;credit union loan officers&lt;/strong&gt; are employees who sell and process &lt;strong&gt;mortgages&lt;/strong&gt; for their employer. The &lt;strong&gt;loan officers&lt;/strong&gt; offer a wide variety of loans that all originate from one &lt;strong&gt;lending institution&lt;/strong&gt;, the bank where they are employed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A loan officer assist you in completing an application and&amp;nbsp;provides you with a list of required documents needed for loan approval. After your personal credit is approved the loan officer moves forward to close your purchase.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;mortgage broker&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/4/9/1/4/ar125391177941946.jpg&quot; height=&quot;292&quot; alt=&quot;mortgage broker&quot; width=&quot;220&quot; style=&quot;float: right;&quot; /&gt;Mortgage brokers &lt;/strong&gt;are independent contractors who are paid a fee to bring borrowers and &lt;strong&gt;lenders&lt;/strong&gt; (&lt;strong&gt;investors&lt;/strong&gt;) together. They provide their services for a pool from a few to several hundred &lt;strong&gt;lenders.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mortgage brokers &lt;/strong&gt;find you the &lt;strong&gt;home buyer&lt;/strong&gt;, evaluate your credit and determine which &lt;strong&gt;lende&lt;/strong&gt;r is the best fit for your needs. The broker submits your application to several lenders in order to sell it and earn a commission. Once a lender is selected they work with the lender, to meet their requirements,&amp;nbsp;until the loan closes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brokers&lt;/strong&gt; are paid a fee for each transaction and the more appealing the loan is to the lender the more they make.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a consumer it is somewhat difficult to tell if you are truly dealing with a&lt;strong&gt; bank &lt;/strong&gt;or a &lt;strong&gt;mortgage broker&lt;/strong&gt;. Some &lt;strong&gt;mortgage brokerages&lt;/strong&gt; use the words 'bank' or 'banker' in their company name, it is always a good idea to ask.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are pros and cons to using either a &lt;strong&gt;bank loan officer&lt;/strong&gt; or a &lt;strong&gt;mortgage broker&lt;/strong&gt;, the best thing to do is shop around.&amp;nbsp;Interview the people you are interested in using, without allowing them to run your credit. Only submit a &lt;strong&gt;credit application&lt;/strong&gt; after you have chosen the person you wish to work with. &lt;strong&gt;Buying a home&lt;/strong&gt; can be and is very stressful use someone you can trust to get the job done.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For information&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; on 'How to Secure Financing the Smart Way&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;' and 'Questions Buyers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Should Ask a Mortgage Lender&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;' please email me your address and I will send you a buyer's information packet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; with these tips.

She represents both &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;homeowners&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; and &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;home buyers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; in these areas.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MY PROMISE TO YOU:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I adhere to the &lt;strong&gt;REALTOR&amp;copy; code of ethics&lt;/strong&gt; set forth by the &lt;strong&gt;National Association of&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;REALTORS&amp;copy;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I act with honesty and integrity with clients, customers and other professionals I come in contact with in the day to day operations of my business.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I understand that each property and client&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;unique and work with my &lt;strong&gt;buyers and sellers&lt;/strong&gt; to realize their true desires and goals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I understand and utilize the &lt;strong&gt;latest technologies&lt;/strong&gt; to ensure the properties I market get the best exposure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I meet with my &lt;strong&gt;sellers&lt;/strong&gt; to customize a &lt;strong&gt;marketing strategy&lt;/strong&gt; that fits their needs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I communicate openly with my client's, I am always open to constructive suggestions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are tired of the &lt;strong&gt;traditional agent&lt;/strong&gt; who is unable to articulate what makes them different from the other 7000+ agents in your area, and are &lt;strong&gt;ready to work with a professional, give me a call.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class='agent_signature'&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia,palatino;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cindy Cranston&lt;/strong&gt;-&lt;strong&gt; Real Estate Agent&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chevette vs. Corvette-Which type of agent do you want representing you, a traditional agent or a professional &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.realtor.org/realtororg.nsf/pages/consumersplash?opendocument&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REALTOR&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;reg;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are you tired of hearing comments like these...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;I'm the top salesperson in my company!&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;I'm a multi-million dollar producer!&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;I've won numerous awards!&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;If I can't sell this house no one can!&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;I'm the best, the greatest, the real estate God, me, me, me, me!&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Traditional agents&lt;/strong&gt; boast about their accomplishments, you do all the listening. They have huge EGO'S and inflated resumes. But the bottom line is they make everything about THEM. They leave the clients concerns as a secondary consideration. &lt;strong&gt;Traditional agents&lt;/strong&gt; do this because they cannot articulate why they differ from the other 7000 agents in this market area.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;professional &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.realtor.org/realtororg.nsf/pages/consumersplash?opendocument&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REALTOR&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;reg;&lt;/a&gt; makes YOUR needs and goals the focus. They listen to you and customize their &lt;strong&gt;marketing plans&lt;/strong&gt; for each individual property. They never subscribe to a &lt;strong&gt;traditional agents&lt;/strong&gt; &quot;one-size-fits-all&quot; approach to &lt;strong&gt;real estate&lt;/strong&gt;. Professional &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.realtor.org/realtororg.nsf/pages/consumersplash?opendocument&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REALTORS&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;reg;, &lt;/a&gt;while they generally enjoy a higher level of success, are focused on the future not living in the past, and are willing to adapt in the ever changing market. They handle stress, constructive criticisms, and everyday problems in the same manner they handle their success and praises, calmly and professionally. They work well with the other PROFESSIONALS they come in contact with and rely on to conduct business.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The difference between a &lt;strong&gt;professional&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.realtor.org/realtororg.nsf/pages/consumersplash?opendocument&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REALTOR&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;reg;&lt;/a&gt; and a &lt;strong&gt;traditional agent&lt;/strong&gt; can best be described in the following metaphor; what is the difference between driving a &lt;strong&gt;Chevette or a Corvette&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Chevette vs. Corvette-Which type of agent do you want representing you, a traditional agent or a professional &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.realtor.org/realtororg.nsf/pages/consumersplash?opendocument&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REALTOR&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;reg;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;? &lt;/strong&gt;They are both Chevy's, the names sound alike, both will get you to your destination, but the experience in getting there is very different. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img title=&quot;Chevy Chevette&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/8/1/9/7/ar125390983579187.jpg&quot; height=&quot;156&quot; alt=&quot;Chevy Chevette&quot; width=&quot;220&quot; /&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Chevy Corvette&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/0/2/1/2/ar125390989421202.jpg&quot; height=&quot;146&quot; alt=&quot;Chevy Corvette&quot; width=&quot;220&quot; style=&quot;float: right;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The traditional agents has a very basic skill set, while the professional &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.realtor.org/realtororg.nsf/pages/consumersplash?opendocument&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REALTORS&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;reg;&lt;/a&gt; has a more intense knowledge and understanding of the client's individual needs, the &lt;strong&gt;current market&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;contracts&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;managing through to close&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cindy Cranston&lt;/strong&gt; is a &lt;strong&gt;REALTOR&amp;copy;&lt;/strong&gt; living and doing business in the South &lt;strong&gt;San Antonio&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Floresville&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;La Vernia&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Texas market&lt;/strong&gt;.

      <title>Are You A Pessimist? Do You Fail To See Opportunity When It Comes Knocking?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are You A Pessimist? Do You Fail To See Opportunity When It Comes Knocking?&lt;/strong&gt; Stop making excuses and start looking for opportunity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;&amp;amp;ldquo;The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.&amp;amp;rdquo; Winston Churchill.&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/7/4/1/5/ar125339992951477.jpg&quot; height=&quot;119&quot; alt=&quot;&amp;amp;ldquo;The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.&amp;amp;rdquo; Winston Churchill.&quot; width=&quot;123&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: top;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;The &lt;strong&gt;pessimist&lt;/strong&gt; sees difficulty in every &lt;strong&gt;opportunity&lt;/strong&gt;. The &lt;strong&gt;optimist&lt;/strong&gt; sees the &lt;strong&gt;opportunity&lt;/strong&gt; in every difficulty.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Winston Churchill.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Current market conditions&lt;/strong&gt; make &lt;strong&gt;now &lt;/strong&gt;one of the best time in recent history to take advantage of the &lt;strong&gt;buyer's market&lt;/strong&gt; and purchase a home. Whether you are a &lt;strong&gt;first-time home buyer&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;buying your next home&lt;/strong&gt;, purchasing a &lt;strong&gt;second or vacation home&lt;/strong&gt;, or &lt;strong&gt;buying investment property&lt;/strong&gt;, current &lt;strong&gt;market conditions&lt;/strong&gt; work to your favor. As a &lt;strong&gt;buyer&lt;/strong&gt; you have a slight advantage when negotiation price with current &lt;strong&gt;housing inventory&lt;/strong&gt; levels.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Are You A Pessimist? Do You Fail To See Opportunity When It Comes Knocking?&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/2/5/4/ar125340010545293.gif&quot; height=&quot;161&quot; alt=&quot;Are You A Pessimist? Do You Fail To See Opportunity When It Comes Knocking?&quot; width=&quot;162&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;If you are a &lt;strong&gt;First-Time Home Buyer, &lt;/strong&gt;you have the additional incentive of the &lt;strong&gt;soon to expire&lt;/strong&gt; up to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com/2009/index.html&quot; title=&quot;$8000 First-time home buyer tax credit&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;$8000 Tax Credit.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;This &lt;strong&gt;$8000 Tax Credit&lt;/strong&gt; requires that your &lt;strong&gt;home loan &lt;/strong&gt;must close and fund before &lt;strong&gt;December 1, 2009&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are &lt;strong&gt;trading-up&lt;/strong&gt; your home it is also a great time to do so. In most cases you will more than make-up any loss in price in the &lt;strong&gt;selling your home&lt;/strong&gt; when purchasing the larger/upgraded home. &lt;strong&gt;Let me explain; &lt;/strong&gt;Let's say that in 2006 you thought about &lt;strong&gt;listing your home&lt;/strong&gt; and had your &lt;strong&gt;REALTOR&amp;copy; &lt;/strong&gt;prepare a &lt;strong&gt;Competitive Fair Market Analysis. &lt;/strong&gt;This analysis showed your home to have a &lt;strong&gt;Fair Market&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Value&lt;/strong&gt; of around $160,000. In &lt;strong&gt;current market conditions&lt;/strong&gt; your homes &lt;strong&gt;Fair Market Value&lt;/strong&gt; is around$140,000. This may make you hesitant to list your home because you are only looking at the smaller picture. You are only seeing a loss of $20,000. &lt;strong&gt;Let me show you the bigger picture&lt;/strong&gt;; you want to upgrade to a home that under &lt;strong&gt;current market conditions&lt;/strong&gt; is in the $250,000 price range. If we can assume based on the difference in your property the same percentage of &lt;strong&gt;loss in value&lt;/strong&gt; on the upgraded home, then you actually come out ahead &lt;strong&gt;trading-up in a down market.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Let Me Show You.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your home decreased in value 12% since 2006 this is a decrease of 4% per year until now, not unrealistic numbers. Using this 12% you can assume the upgraded home would have sold for somewhere around $280,000, a $30,000 decrease from 2006. This means that you are coming out $10,000 ahead &lt;strong&gt;trading-up in a down market&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are looking to buy a home, or sell your existing home and trade-up, there may not be a better time. Do not let today's opportunities pass you by. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goseecindy.com/&quot;&gt;Give me a call!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cindy Cranston is a REALTOR&amp;copy; living and doing business in the South San Antonio, Floresville and La Vernia, Texas market. She represents both homeowners and home buyers in these areas. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;To succeed... you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tony Dorsett.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I am and have always been a &lt;strong&gt;New Orleans Saints &lt;/strong&gt;fan. Sometimes even I&amp;nbsp;find inspiration from the least expected of sources. LOL&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Shannon Ridge Subdivision, Floresville, TX 78114! A Great Place To Live!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.shannonridge.org/&quot;&gt;Shannon Ridge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Subdivision, Floresville, TX 78114! A Great Place to Live! &lt;/strong&gt;For a little over nine years I have called the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.shannonridge.org/&quot;&gt;Shannon Ridge Subdivision&lt;/a&gt;in Floresville &lt;/strong&gt;my home, and it is a great place to live and raise a family.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Shannon Ridge, Floresville, TX&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/6/2/2/5/ar125338584252262.jpg&quot; height=&quot;150&quot; alt=&quot;Shannon Ridge, Floresville, TX&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.shannonridge.org/&quot;&gt;Shannon Ridge&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is a subdivision located in northern &lt;strong&gt;Wilson County, Texas&lt;/strong&gt;, about twenty five miles southeast of downtown &lt;strong&gt;San Antonio&lt;/strong&gt; and six miles north of &lt;strong&gt;Floresville&lt;/strong&gt;. We are close enough to easily access the amenities of &lt;strong&gt;San Antonio&lt;/strong&gt;, yet we enjoy a peaceful country setting. Our properties average about two- five acres in size and many are heavily wooded. Our soil, a rich sandy loam, is easily tilled, making gardening and landscaping a joy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Children living in &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.shannonridge.org/&quot;&gt;Shannon Ridge&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; attend school at the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/cgi/sas/broker&quot;&gt;TEA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; recognized campuses in &lt;strong&gt;Floresville&lt;/strong&gt;. The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://fisd.us/&quot;&gt;Floresville ISD&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; offers a wide range of programs and curriculum, focusing on encouraging children to graduate and continue on to college.&lt;/p&gt;
