Fall Color

Fall came a bit late this year, but it’s in full swing now and a walk through the neighborhood will reveal scenes like this one, a poison ivy vine climbing high on a pine tree growing beside a cedar along JB Glaspie’s property. 

I Think That I Shall Never See…

We have many lovely trees in Country Place, both wild and cultivated. This cypress, in Rebecca and Dave Mohr’s yard, is one of the latter and here is highlighted by a shaft of light cutting through the canopy.

CPCA Fall Festival 2017

The weather was chilly (55° with a north wind), but the promise of candy and a cook-out brought out a nice crowd for our annual Fall Festival for CPCA members. Thanks to Valencia Ray, our intrepid event organizer, and her crew for their hard work. I’ve added download buttons to the photos for those who […]

Parks & Lakes Report

A couple of weeks ago, Jerry Jones held a meeting at his home to discuss some of the lakes and parks infrastructure and what we can do to make it more usable by our members. Among the topics: Old Lake (#1) needs clearing on the north and east end. There are four bridges, perhaps more, […]

July 4th Celebration in Country Place

A nice crowd of CPCA members gathered at the park on July 4th to celebrate and visit. Thanks to Valencia for coming up with the idea and seeing it through.

Fall Festival and Hayride 2016

Country Place is a very unique neighborhood for several reasons…estate-sized lots, four stocked lakes and very low dues among them. But another feature of our neighborhood are the Spring Picnic & Egg Hunt as well as the Fall Festival & Hayride. Both these events serve as a wonderful way to get to better know our […]

Fall Festival 2016 on October 15th

 Dear Country Place Association Member, The 2016 Fall Festival and Hayride has been scheduled for Saturday October 15th in the cul-de-sac at Copperoaks and Big Timber. This is an opportunity for the kids and adults to dress up in their Halloween costumes and trick for treats, and for grownups to meet and visit with neighbors. […]

Perfect Weather for the Spring Picnic

After having to cancel our 2015 Fall Festival due to rain, it was a big relief to see the day dawn bright and clear for our egg hunt and spring picnic. Thanks to Sarah Devendorf for ramrodding a great day for children and parents alike.

Growing Up In Country Place

Raising kids is never easy, and perhaps even more so in these complicated times, but it has big rewards. Our boys grew up here, and although there were bumps and crashes along the way, we are immensely proud of the young men they’ve become. Watching other youngsters grow up in the neighborhood is gratifying, too, […]

Kids & Country Place

I made a trip to Hidden Lake last Thursday; I’d caught a few bream and enjoyed some quiet time. I had already taken down my fly rod and was shooting pictures when I heard the sound of kids laughing and a moment later Kate & Carolyn Flanagan, along with a friend, came running over the […]

Deer Rescue Attempt

Last evening about 7pm I received a call from Melissa Strickland. She and Gary bought the Johnston home at 19274 Jo-Bar and have been busy updating, adding a pool and workshop, and enjoying life in Country Place. Their home backs up to one of the small, private lakes here and when Gary had gone down […]

Perfect Weather for Spring Picnic

The cool and wet East Texas spring we’d been experiencing abated earlier this week to (partially) dry out Three Lakes Park and the day of the picnic couldn’t have been more glorious…clear and cool. Thanks to Rachel McGee and Sarah Devendorf for their work in putting together this year’s Easter egg hunt and picnic. Thanks […]
