Educational Post for 6/19/19

Real Estate Agents are not expected to be Home Inspectors or Roofers. When it comes to a home purchase, roofing, and construction matters!

I have been told the best time to inspect is when you obviously have leaks and know there is a problem. However, visibility from down below isn't always reliable. That's why they recommend you get a free inspection with no obligation by … (6 comments)

If you don't know anything about Texas, don't be surprised if people say Texas is its own country or like a whole other country. According to history books, it became its own country called "The Republic of Texas," from 1836 until it joined the Union in 1845. Sixteen years later, Texas and 10 other states formed a Confederacy until the Civil War forced it back into the Union where it has stayed ever since.
There are people in Texas that never traveled outside the State of Texas for the following reasons:

LIFE'S JOURNEY
When we are young we have hopes and dreams. Every new step is a discovery into a new world. It is this stage of life when perceptions are formed. Some things are imaginary; some things are real.

FROM A BIRD'S EYE POINT OF VIEW
Just like people's eating habits change in winter, bird diets do too! In order to survive without insects and berries, birds depend on what's available. A little help from the humans goes a long way to ensure survival of our fine feathered friends. Days are shorter. Nights longer. In the cold of winter, things go dormant. Birds don't just get to shop at Walmart's or Pet Stores, or prop their feet up in front of a cozy fireplace. Nor do they get to stock up like a squirrel. What do birds need … (18 comments)

texas: Are You Anticipating Spring?

Musings by ©Patricia Feager, 2/26/2017
The anticipation of spring is always a fascination with me. As a homegrown Midwestern girl, I was fascinated by the weather and the storms that lit up the sky at night. I could be perched on my front porch protected by a red and white canopy chasing storms across the sky with my eyes shifting from left to right, up and down. Raindrops falling on the metal canopy sounded like a symphony until a thunderclap caused me to practically jump out of my skin!
Childs play is hard work. You're always thinking, imagining, creating thoughts inside your head and … (28 comments)
