Don't Get Around Much Anymore - 08/21/10 11:03 PM
This is a letter to all of our friends.  It's about where we are in our everyday lives right now:  So often in life we feel that there will always be time to enjoy the people who are the most important to us: Those whose smiles and laughs we treasure although we are sometimes miles - and even, for some, continents away from those who are dearest to us.
Somehow, in our desire to live life fully  - and in the present, we can become a little complacent about difficulties that we know are coming.  Lives that are ending, those whose … (8 comments)

First, you get a couple of Sticks - 08/08/10 11:09 PM
Chronicling the continuing progress on a home built from the ground up. 
After the Builder has completed setting the forms for the foundation, then completing the foundation infrastructure and the rough plumbing for water and sewer, they pour the slab. 
We go from this:

To this:

The framing panels (above) have been delivered,

including the trusses for the roofing and the extensions (below), to the panels (to get the ceiling heights of 9 feet on the first floor). Soon those walls will start going up. 
Keep watching for more of the progress and call us for assistance with … (3 comments)

Lazy Longhorn - Speechless Sunday - 08/08/10 10:52 PM

Ahh-
Another sunny Sunday in San Antonio and the living is easy for those with no social schedule (that we can imagine), no church-going, no errands and no Sunday dinner to prepare!
 
Just a day spent lazing with friends, enjoying the country air and snacking their way through the afternoon...
 
I know that there must be a Margarita somewhere (for those who indulge), or it wouldn't be San Antonio!
I hope that your day was rich with quiet company and beautiful scenery!

Made In The Shade - Friday Photo - 08/06/10 10:23 PM
Even on a hot August day here in San Antonio, Texas, it is always possible to find a quiet spot to cool off and enjoy a little spot of beautiful countryside. This little bit of serenity can be found right along a road on the Northwest side of town - about 5 minutes drive from Loop 1604.

Here's hoping that you can make time this weekend to get out and enjoy the great outdoors!

I Didn't Make My Bed This Morning - 08/04/10 08:28 PM
Although, my mother would have frowned on it, this morning I celebrated my day by not making the bed. I know, I'm too old to have such a teen-age moment, but
 
Our House is Under Contract - and that's pretty exciting
 
After 100 days on the MLS, our San Antonio, Texas home should close on September 1st.
What will we miss the most?  Probably the view of the Canyon!

(But the new house will have a 3-car garage, where Steve and I can stash all of our extra real estate stuff!).  I will not miss having the house … (14 comments)
