Today I was thinking about the value of a penny.  Ben Frankliin once said something like, "A penny saved is a penny earned."  I learned that long ago and have thought about it many times.  I make a practice of picking up every penny I see on the ground.  I always say this is my good luck charm.  ...

Happy Father's Day to all the Fathers.   Happy Father's Day to my Dad that passed away a long time ago. He was a great Daddy to me.  He had a great smile and an easy going personality.  He never met a stranger and everyone loved seeing him and visiting with him.  He was a good listener and a good...

This morning we had a call and a visit from a young man with a family looking for a home to rent in the Kerrville area.  He had come from one of our listings located in the country.  This listing is for sale only!
