Bike Trail in Your Own Backyard!

Open House.

Our Agent Tasha is hosting our first open house today from 3-5pm. I hand picked every blade of grass I mow/blowed into the pool out with the pool net. Note to self take hubs advice on the direction the lawn should be mowed. Note to new owner, the safety fence when up cuts down on lawn clippings in the pool.

I am attaching a photo where the safety fence is up. This is the best photo I can find at the moment.

Coffee Me...

Pflugerville has a Starbucks! Coming from Seattle and having worked in the Pike Place Market and frequenting the original Starbucks, seeing the logo is like greeting an old friend. Did you know that at the original Starbucks the logo of the siren mermaid does not have the and hair coverage.



Here is some information:

Starbuck opening on Pflugerville Parkway


May 29 was a 'Starbucks' Day in Pflugerville. The immensely popular, boutique coffee shop opened its first of two locations coming to the area, in Pfluger Crossing. Located on Pflugerville Parkway at the north side of the Wal-Mart Supercenter, Starbucks brings it's own brand of hospitality and delectable hot and cold beverages to this area. Shown here, Starbucks donates a tree to be planted in one of the City's parks...a gesture of their vision of growth in this establishment and in the community.

The Pantry.

This is one of my favorite features of the house this huge pantry. It has a built in desk or utility table. I use it to fold clothes. The washer and dryer are off to the right out of the picture, there is a door that leads to the spa, so you can use it as a changing dry off area and just hang up your suits on the rack behind the door. I keep a fluffy robe there to wrap up in after a nice spa.

New Patio Furniture..

Once again I will say why did we wait so long! Out with the old faded patio furniture from 5 years ago. This set wasn't very expensive, but it sure matches the fence color nicely and it is great to eat poolside. I had the teachers I work with and there kids over for an end of the summer semester breakfast and swim. We had a great time, I should have taken pictures. I am going to miss my job and the teachers I work with, it has been my favorite job so far, totally not in my field and I didn't make as much money but much more rewarding and fulfilling.

Hanging Out!

Day swimming is not to be forgotten either!!

Night Swimming

This is one of our favorite times to swim, very relaxing after a long hot day. The water is cooled off a bit there is sometimes a breeze and the day eases away.

Better Homes & Garden's

For a while this planter sat overgrown and weed infested. Why you may ask, because I lacked the confidence to plant a flower bed. I over thought the whole process, I went to Better Homes and Garden's website and printed out gardens and flower types, I went to Lady Bird Johnson's Wildflower garden's for inspiration. Finally when we knew we were selling the house I could not procrastinate any longer, two trips to home depot, some plants, mulch, soil, consulting with a friend, sweat and it was done. In total it probably took about 3 hours maybe a little more. I am so happy with the results. The yellow flower was originally there put everything else I picked out. Why did I wait so long? I always say that.

Iron Chef Competition

I found a picture of one of my entries in the cook off we had. I was proud of myself.
