My office is in Garden Ridge, Texas (4 miles outside of San Antonio, TX).  I live in New Braunfels (right up the street from SA) and last night I spent a few fun filled hours in Gruene, Texas.  

I had evening plans with Brian (my husband) and he was waiting on me (as usual).  I drove home last night from the office in a thunderstorm.  In south Texas rain is a precious commodity (it the kind of stuff we pray for!) the rain was coming down so fast I couldn't see and had to pull over.  I thought that our plans would have to be cancelled when I waited just a few minutes and the rain stopped, the dark skies partied and the sky was clear and the sun came out!  It was just gone like that!   It was glorious!   

When I got home we jumped in the car and drove (5 miles) to Gruene, Texas to go to Gruene Hall.  Which is famous for being the oldest dance hall in Texas.   This place is very cool.  The tiny town itself is located on the Guadalupe River (some B & B's and resorts actually sit on the water so you have a great view).  It's quaint, rich in heritage and the people are great.  There are just a few streets and most just park and walk around.  There are lots of little shops, some great places to eat and wonderful atmosphere.   

But, the biggest event happening in Gruene last night was the dance hall.  Two tons was playing last night.  Well, your wondering what's so great about them..?  I didn't know either. Now I do. They have a huge dance following.  Not only do they play great Texas Music, but there was all kinds of people and ages showing up to dance, the Western Swing!  

It was great to see everyone enjoying themselves.  If your around in the Gruene, Texas area is a place to visit.  There is something refreshing about rain fallen streets, wildflowers blooming, a fun filled dance hall in beautiful Gruene, Texas.      

There are some great cities in and around San Antonio.  If you know of someone that would like housing and/or lifestyle information I would love to help.  Call me, Sheila Moran, RE/MAX Access, www.SheilaMoranTeam.com   210-325-6962
