It's just beautiful, Carl.  You are going to attract more visitors, more tourists, and it is going to get more crowded...

Carl, my friend, your blog is getting better and better all the time.  I'm so proud of you!!!  This is a beautiful Post -- keep up the great work!!!   :)

Hello, Carl!  Wow!  What can I say--the area where you live is beautiful.  You're always on vacation!  You should be a tourist guide for your area. You're the local expert.  :)  Thanks for sharing and I agree with Judi, your blog rocks!  We're going to have to e-mail you from now on to see how we do things around here.  Hee, hee.c

Shirley - Thanks for taking time to stop by and leave such a nice comment. I have to admit Ceil did help me with this (the picture thingy), I didn't even argue back when she shook her finger at me. We have been working on this thingy two days. Got to get Quicker.

Judi - Ceil helped! Did you click on (see below)

Visitoring Explore Canyon Lake, Texas, a nearby popular recreational area. Under Real Estate you can add your name (I think). I have mine for inspectors, We really enjoy promoting our area.

Thanks for the nice comment. Have you checked out Localism?

Yolanda - OMG you came all the way cross country just to read my blog. Wish you could see it in person; it's the next best place to heaven is what our pastor use to say.

Thanks for stopping by and have a good evening.

Carl, I'm going to have to get Ceil to help me.  I've written some but never had time to get the links and pictures posted.  :)  Your posts are really getting better all the time!!!  I read and smile the entire time!  :)

I just checked out the new Localism site.  It looks really nice.  I'm looking forward to learning more about it and posting more to Localism.

Howdy Carl and Ceil

Y'all can be my travel guide anytime my friend's.

You are really panting the town red, with your blog now a day's.

You'll be a top neighbor on the new localism before you know it!

Carl and Ceil, I am so very proud of Y'all!!

Good luck in every thing ya do my friend's!!

Now Dale you know how much you have helped me, along with Judi, Yolanda, Kevin and many others. I have a long way to go to keep up with all of you. I must admit this one looks pretty good compared to some of the first blogs. We have all come a long way in a few months.

I tried the HTML thingy with Ceil's help but it didn't work. It went away when I tried to put the pic's on so I said forget it.

What's your thoughts on Localism?

Howdy Carl and Ceil

Sorry That I did not get the E-Mail written to ya last weekend, on how to insert images using HTML.

I will get it to ya this weekend for sure.

I can not tell ya my thoughts about the new localism, on this post my friend.

I'll either one of your member's only post or in a E-Mail to ya.

Dale - That is too much work for you. I would think soon they may have a converter tool or something here on AR so we won't have to do all this HTML stuff. I know now how to do the others in color and that is plenty good. Appreciate all you do to help but you have your own stuff to follow.

Ceil says she is going to take a course. (ha,ha). She is covered up with work of her own right now doing community work.

Looks like a neat place... I have flown over it but haven't been there... Yet! 

Michael - This area has been home for many years for several generation family members. Even before the dam, it was a close community. It's obvarious buildinghe dam changed the area somewhat. Many of the ranches has sold and are being developed for housing. Some areas look like Colorado with the hills.The location is excellent; brings in a mix of retired for the resort area and families for the small community atmosphere.

Location, Location, Location and quality lifestyle is what bring folks to this area.
