A GREAT Neighborhood

We have lived in Sagewood for about five years, I guess. It is the BEST neighborhood and we knew so many folks who lived here before we built our house. It is much smaller than our home in Elmwood - and suits us just fine. No big yard to mow! No huge trees to trim! Not as much house to clean! Add those 'pluses' added to the marvelous neighbors we have and we recognize that we are in the very best place we could be at this stage of our lives. God is good! ALL THE TIME.

Beautiful Friday Clouds - but nary a raindrop

A cloud withdrew from the Sky

Superior Glory be

But that Cloud and its Auxiliaries

Are forever lost to me

Had I but further scanned

Had I secured the Glow

In an Hermetic Memory

It had availed me now.

Never to pass the Angel

With a glance at a Bow

Till I am firm in Heaven

Is my intention now.

Emily Dickinson (#895)

The Oak - A Seguin Landmark

When one walks into The Oak (110 East Gonzales Street)
there is almost always a group at one table playing cards; there may be another group playing dominoes (although I've only seen that on one occasion). You can see the fellas you played golf with; someone you chatted with at the Wellness Center that morning; doctors, lawyers, judges, postmen (we had the best mailman in the world when we lived in Elmwood - and I always look forward to seeing him at The Oak), carpenters, realtors - anyone and everyone. It is such a fun place!

I think that one of the Seguin High School class reunions was held at The Oak last year. This seciton of street is closed off for the Hats Off to Seguin celebration and The Oak is most generous in contributing to other community needs.

Texas State Represent Edmund Kuempel can be seen there on Friday evenings (note: the Rep. does not drink any alcohol - which cannot be said for all who sit at his table and discuss city and state and nation and world events; everyone has an opinion on how to 'fix' things!).

So many books...so little time

Marcus Tullius Cicero:
"A home without books is a body without soul."

I didn't cook - AGAIN!

Good Old Southern (fried!) Comfort Food!

Note: Kids eat free Tuesday and Saturday nights! AND if you turn in your receipts to your local church, the church will receive a rebate (forget the percentage of the bill . . . but it certainly helps the church!)

One still truckin' . . . one not

Our 19-year old Beretta still going strong! This was my car for the first thirteen years and now Bob is driving it. It has been a great car.

Have no idea how old this Buick is - sitting in the Weyel Buick lot. However, it still has 'character.'
