My husband calls me saying "You've got to go get a shot of this tree for your blog! Someone went to cut it down, but it didn't go crashing down to the ground like most trees do.  Instead, it is standing on it's branches."   I had NO CLUE what he was talking about, but I asked where this "Blog Tree" was and headed over to get the shot. This is what I found.   OOPS! That didn't quite work out as planned.   Time for Plan B. ☺   (I can relate.)

  JUST SOLD! Lots in Carolina Cove! I just closed on two beautiful lots in Carolina Cove. Carolina Cove is located on the northern end of Lake Livingston approximately 6 miles east of Riverside. In Carolina Cove you will find frame, brick, and hardi board homes. The subdivision restrictions do NOT allow mobile homes, and property owners association dues are VERY inexpensive. At the time of the writing of this post, they were less than $100.00 per lot, per year. Homeowners  and their guests enjoy two boat launches, offering direct access to Lake Livingston. Another great perk about living in Carolina Cove is Cove Marina and Campground. Located in the heart of Carolina Cove, Cove Marina is the friendly community store where you can pick up that forgotten can of Cream of Mushroom soup, bai...

Our little town of Riverside, Texas (Population 510) held it's annual Christmas Parade this past Saturday. This was the first year that it has rained on parade day. So... there were a lot less participants, AND there were a lot less children.... BUT we had a GREAT time anyway!  As always, I shot pictures of the children with Santa (BIG and small).  Of all of my shots, THIS one is my favorite. You can see the rest by clicking here. We should all be more like Ashton, and turn our eyes upon Jesus!!

  The 2nd Annual Children’s Christmas Extravaganza   December 23, 2012 BUT LOOK!! Here's a peek at last year's performance... No show goes on without a few hiccups!   And The 2011 Children's Christmas Extravaganza was no exception!   Our little girls were scheduled to open the event singing The 12 Days of Christmas.  Each girl was assigned a day with EVERYONE singing “and a partridge in a pear tree”.     Well.... Day number 5 was nowhere to be found.   WHAT?!   No “5 Golden Rings”?!   As always... Brother Jim was eager to fill in wherever needed. EVEN if it meant being a little girl for a bit.   He was stole the show! He used his falsetto voice, and kept everyone laughing each time he was handed the microphone to sing his part!     So... the show went on and the Children's Christmas Ext...

Be Thankful Challenge Day 9: Today I am thankful for inspiration. After what happened to me last night at Dollar General, I am especially thankful for inspiration. Yesterday’s random act of kindness inspired me to really get out and get this food drive going. While I was out setting up a food drive display at the Riverside Bank, my managing broker made a trip to Dollar General to pick up some items for his donation. While he was checking out, the lady behind him asked what he was going to do with all of those crackers and jelly. He told her about my peanut butter that I bought for the food drive and explained that he got some crackers and jelly to go with my peanut butter. She thought that was pretty cool and handed him $10 to get more food. He bought some chili to go with the crackers...

  SOLD! 30 Bluebird Dr. in Harmon Creek Ridge We just closed on this fabulous 3 bedroom 2 bath home in Harmon Creek Ridge near Riverside, Texas! With over 1,500 square feet of living space, this home was perfect for this buyer who wanted to be in the country, but close to the city! Harmon Creek Ridge is located on the northern end of Lake Livingston. It is home to the Harmon Creek Marina. Homes listed in Harmon Creek Ridge typically sell quickly. The marina has its own loyal following, and when something becomes available, it is quickly snatched up.   This home had a contract on it right after I listed it. That buyer opted out for NO real reason. Within a week, this contract was written. While this buyer was going through the loan process, we had ANOTHER offer on the home. It just goes ...

I Missed Out on Tuesday’s Treasures, so here’s my Thursday Treasure! I shot this photo at National Night Out this past Tuesday in Riverside, Texas. A very nice Sheriff’s Deputy passed out SAFETY books and badge stickers to the children. This is sweet little Kailee “reading” us her book. She liked the officer, but wasn’t too sure about that big ole BEAR! She never did quite warm up to ole Smokey! What’s your Thursday Treasure?

National Night Out in Riverside, Texas Was a HUGE Success! Never in my mind did I doubt that it would be. We LOVE our Volunteer Fire Department!! We ADORE our Sheriff and the Walker County Sheriff’s Office!!  So to expect a GREAT turn out for National Night Out in Riverside, Texas -- was a given. Children (and adults) enjoyed a visit with Smokey the Bear, a cupcake walk, and fishing.   Attendees were treated to hot Frito-Pie, soft drinks, and cookies.  Many folks (including me and The Princess Mama (TPM) won some GREAT door prizes, and best of all -- we got to hang out with the great men and women that work together to protect our community. In the photograph below you will see some of the volunteers for the Riverside Volunteer Fire Department. There are several that are missing from t...
