What an exciting Friday night celebrating 2 milestone Birthdays for the beautiful mother daughter duo, Annette & Victoria. The setting was perfect on the outside deck at Super Saps, decorated beautifully with white linen table cloths and white roses. Groovy tunes were sung by the talented Kelly Doze. The Thai buffet was outstanding, and glad to see such a wonderful gathering for music, fun and laughter.  I feel incredibly fortunate to have such diverse and wonderful friends who include me in their fantastic celebrations! I feel that Birthdays are truly special occasions that deserve to be cherished; after all, we all know the alternative!

Yesterday was a full day, beginning with making sure I made my granddaughter, Beckett's, softball game. The Smurfs faced a tough opponent but displayed admirable resilience throughout the game, refusing to yield even as the opposing team racked up runs. Beckett showcased her dedication and skill on the field, earning recognition as one of the game's three most valuable players and receiving a coveted surf sticker as a testament to her outstanding performance. I love witnessing her evolution into a skilled team player, and I cherish seeing the camaraderie she enjoys with her fellow players as they unite in playing their best game!“Champions keep playing until they get it right.” Billie Jean King

It was truly delightful collaborating once again with my sellers at 11016 Crossland Dr. in Canyon Creek. Having initially purchased the home through my listing, our communication has spanned several years, with intermittent discussions about potential moves and opportunities.The buyers, who had been renting within the community, encountered setbacks in their quest for a new home over the past couple of years. However, with the steadfast determination of their buyer's agent, they persisted in their search until finding the perfect fit. As first-time homebuyers, they eagerly seized the opportunity this spring and emerged victorious in a competitive multiple-offer situation, a win-win outcome for both the seller and themselves.Understanding my sellers' need to relocate to San Antonio, we f...

Great news! I'm delighted to share that my latest listing in Canyon Creek, located at 10218 Open Gate Drive, has gone under contract in just 10 days.

It's truly remarkable to witness the early emergence of our Texas Bluebonnets this March. The warmth embracing Central Texas seems to be coaxing them into bloom ahead of schedule.Dating back to March 1901, when six native species of Bluebonnets were officially designated as our Texas State flower, the history of these vibrant blooms is as rich as their hues. Exploring Texasproud.com reveals the captivating tale behind our beloved Bluebonnets.Amy Medley, the lead horticulturist at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, sheds light on an interesting phenomenon: Bluebonnets tend to make their appearance even earlier in urban areas, thanks to the radiant heat emitted by concrete surfaces.Traditionally, the grand spectacle of blue fields blankets the landscape by early April.
