Where We Have Been and Found Home.
Life is a journey.  The passage of time........a mystery.
The holidays, to me, are a time to reflect and appreciate what we have, where we have been and a time to cherish the memories.
This Thanksgiving I sat with my niece, Amber and my nephew, Ian and looked through photo albums that my Mother-In-Law had put together through the years.  We laughed and reminisced.  We had fun when they came to visit and went swimming in our pool when we lived in Azle, just outside of Fort Worth.

So much music fills my heart and my head these days. It really soothes my soul.  Even when I am "dog-tired," music is what inspires me in such a deep and personal way.
You know, ask my Keller Williams office mates---there is a little bit of singing every now and again at the Keller Williams Huntsville TX and Conroe / Lake Conroe offices. 
It's a reflex.  When I am singing, that means I am pretty happy.

Cool story.  One of my clients, a very sharp and successful young businesswoman came by when I first moved into the space to sign some paperwork.  She had a seat and we chatted for a bit.  And then--I asked the question. … (3 comments)

Great seats, great date, great evening!
Unbelievable--The Houston Symphony Orchestra, led by Maestro Hannu Lintu performed Beethoven's 3rd (The Eroica) originally dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte, before he became such an "evil dweeb," and speaking of pure evil, the demands that composer, Franz Liszt makes on the soloist in the beautifully performed Liszt Piano Concerto #1 in E-flat Major w/soloist Markus Groh ended the first half ---
And---take a breath--the opening the concert offered a "stunning" performance of the Aulis Sallinen "Fanfare, Op. 59."  This performance was the moment that remarkably demonstrated the wonderful acoustics in the … (5 comments)

My feelings about home are why I became a Realtor and then wanted to get as much additional training and education as possible with completing the GRI and CRS Designations within my first year and a half.

Bunko (or Bunco) is a game normally played with 3 tables of 4 players each broken into two teams with two each.  There are 3 Tables, Table 1,2, and 3.  Play starts with a signal---like a bell and the round ends when one of the two teams at "Table 1" reaches "21" as a score.
