When folks from out-of-state visit us looking for their next home in the wintertime, I tell them that viewing East Texas this time of year is like seeing their girlfriend without her makeup for the first time. Still pretty, of course, but minus much of the color. So I tilt upward for beauty and find it in winter skies like this one, over our Long Lake here in Country Place.

Thanksgiving At The Park

Thanks to Valencia and her volunteers for putting together a Thanksgiving celebration at the park on Saturday. It was another opportunity to visit with neighbors, break bread together, and watch the children play. Cara Buller is shown here in her Mothers arms.

Laura Graul has built a very lovely “Little Library”, complete with bench. I stopped to watch her and Mike doing a very professional installation. We look forward to seeing all you book lovers Thursday afternoon at 4:30 for the dedication.
After the Storm

The good news is we got 1.6” of rain. The bad news is there are trees and limbs down all over Country Place. I had a 7:30 a.m. doctor’s appointment at the Christus on Broadway and all the traffic lights were out. Traffic was backed up for a mile. Barely made it on time and then learned that there was no power at the hospital, either. On my way back to Country Place the line of stop-and-go traffic stretched from Loop 49 almost to FM 346. Kudos to the neighbors with chainsaws and pickups…they’re sure coming in handy this morning.
