century 21: Bye-Bye BBQ Hut! - 05/12/11 06:36 AM

This morning I had a call from a buyer wanting to see a house in Plantersville.  I called and set up the appointment for 9am.  On the way over to the showing I saw this BBQ Hut in Magnolia being moved.  The city has been trying to do away with all the businesses right next to the railroad tracks in Magnolia. 

The BBQ Hut was the last to be moved.  I think it had been there for over 20 years.

After I showed the buyer the house in Plantersville, I went over to check on one of my listings.  … (0 comments)

century 21: Fire In Tomball! - 05/11/11 05:59 AM
Fire at Tomball Parkway and Holderreith Rd Tuesday May 10th, 2011. 

Here was the scene as I approached Holderreith.  The grass is VERY dry here.

I saw this fire yesterday when I was driving home from the Century 21 office.   There were lots of emergency vehicles.

I must commend the fire department and the police officers on duty.  They handled the whole situation with only shutting down one lane and not blocking the traffic at all.

There is a burn ban in effect, please do not throw your cigarette butts out the window.

century 21: Impressionist & Post-Impressionist Art on Loan At The Museum Of Fine Arts, Houston - 05/10/11 12:50 PM

Impressionist & Post-Impressionist Art on loan at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.  When I was at The Houston Galleria yesterday I happened to notice this poster.  I think I will try to go see the artwork before they close the exhibit on May 23rd.

I want to say this is a Saurat, but I'm not certain.  I hope they have some Monets and Manets on exhibit.  I think I saw two of Monet's Water Lily oil paintings on exhibit a few years ago at the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth.   They were really lovely.

This is a self portrait of … (3 comments)

century 21: The Houston Galleria -- A Timeless Treasure! - 05/10/11 12:25 PM
The Houston Galleria -- A Timeless Treasure!  I remember when my mother bought me here to buy a fur collar coat when I was a teenager.  And the stores still look as modern and prosperous today as they were back then.  They have really done a good job of keeping current with the times.

I was picking up a check at a real estate company for a Houston Rental Property that I had the tenant for.  I had to wait for an hour until the Broker could go to the office and prepare and sign a check, so I thought I … (2 comments)

century 21: Congratulations Kisha & Jen On Winning Season 18 of The Amazing Race! - 05/09/11 02:40 AM
Congratulations Kisha & Jen On Winning Season 18 of The Amazing Race!  This seasons Amazing Race was called "Unfinished Business" and all the contestants were teams that had raced in a previous season, but had not won. 
This seasons race spanned 5 continents, 23 cities and 40,000 miles, ending up at Seven Mile Bridge in Florida.  One of the last tasks to be completed before the grueling Seven Mile bridge was to set up a kitchie mobile home reminiscent of the 1950's complete with AstroTurf, white picket fence, pink flamingos and a card table with mustard and ketsup bottles.  It was … (3 comments)

Happy Mother's Day -- Flowers for Mother's Day.  Here are some flower pictures I have taken over the last month that I'd like to share with you. 

I am experimenting with taking pictures with my camera.  Sometimes the images turn out blurry, but I'm getting better at being able to take close up pictures.  Flowers are a good subject to take pictures of -- they have such great colors.

 These delicate purple flowers were in a plant pot at a family gathering, but I don't know what they are, do you?

 These red beauties almost look like verbena, … (4 comments)

century 21: "Water For Elephants", A Movie Review By Your Houston Real Estate Professional. - 05/07/11 08:03 AM
"Water For Elephants", A Movie Review By Your Houston Real Estate Professional.

I saw this movie a few weeks ago.  It was really a lovely movie.  It had a great story with a happy ending.  The real stars of this movie, in my opinion, were the elephant (Rosie), Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson.  I have to warn you that while there is a happy ending, there is some drama during the movie that involves some animal cruelty.  Here is the movie trailer, but I have to say, the movie is much better than the trailer, so go see it if you … (1 comments)

Happy Birthday Mother! You Would Have Been 90 Years Old Today.
I remember such fun memories that we had together, like going to Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin when I was little, playing scrabble after dinner when we got together, and poker with the family in Galveston.  I also remember the time when we got stuck on the beach in that great 1969 Mustang of yours -- and the hurricane that was coming in at the same time-- thank goodness for my oldest brother Bill that he was able to get us unstuck before the storm hit.  I love you and miss you so … (2 comments)

Reduce Your Stress Level -- Lunch With The Ducks -- May 2nd, 2011

 These cute ducks always make me feel happy when I go to feed them.  They are so silly, that sometimes I even laugh out loud at their antics.

 This gazebo is in between two of the office buildings that are on this lake.

 This brown duck is an unusual sight.  I don't think I've seen many ducks with a brown chest.

 These ducks looked cute while they were following each other.   Kind of reminds me of the Abbey Road Cover (with the Beatles).
