bulverde: Cute idea! - 03/24/08 03:17 PM
I just discovered the website designhergals, which lets you create a cute cartoon image of yourself or any woman you know and then have it printed on stationery, notecards, stickers, etc. I was playing around with it and created little cartoons of myself and my daughter. Adorable!
Design-her Gals was founded by Jeanne Fitzmaurice, an entrepreneur who recognized the importance of a personalized stationery line that expresses the multi-facets of a woman, literally and metaphorically. Fitzmaurice hopes to carve out her niche in the $7.5 billion dollar stationery industry, taking self-expression to the next level.

bulverde: Riven Rock Ranch Resort - 03/09/08 05:42 AM
 
Quite by accident I came across the website for Riven Rock Ranch Resort on the Boerne Chamber of Commerce website. The ranch resort is located near Boerne and Comfort in Kendall County.  I was totally unaware of it's existence.  This looks like a great place for locals to visit, especially for an Easter brunch/dinner. Maybe I can talk my husband into going. :-)  It would also be a great place for tourists visiting San Antonio and the Hill Country.

bulverde: History of Boerne TX & March Events...Enjoy! - 03/08/08 02:27 AM
The city of Boerne is named for Ludwig Borne, who inspired many young men to leave Germany in the 1840's and travel to the new world.  Some of these German pioneers created a settlement called "Tusculum" near present day Johns Road.  Even after most of the original creators had moved on, a few of the men decided to remain and named the area Boerne. The land on which the settlement stood was eventually bought by Gustav Theissen and John James, who platted the town in 1851.  As businesses grew and stagecoach routes began to appear in the area, Boerne itself began … (0 comments)

bulverde: High Flying Homes - 02/20/08 05:02 AM
I am not a fan of flying and I will probably never own a home in a residential airpark.  That being said, it is a form of residential home ownership I find fascinating.  Airparks are becoming surprisingly more common across the U.S.  There are more than 400 airparks nationwide, approximately 35 in Texas, and 6 in San Antonio.   Some are located in remote areas with ownership shared by a few people.  But some are much larger, such as Spruce Creek in Daytona Beach, Florida.  Spruce Creek has 1,200 homesites and multiple runways.  One benefit is that instead of keeping a plane at a public airport and … (1 comments)
