LEAVING HOME

Sometimes things don't turn out like you dreamed they would. In 1980, my wonderful father died at the age of 50. The Texas recession hit and many of the refineries closed causing small businesses supporting commerce to collapse. At that time, I found it necessary to relocate to a better economical region. Hence, the great Hill Country relocation to live on a real working ranch in the Hill Country at Bergheim, Texas. Nestled in a 500-acre ranch with many oak trees, my large rock home built after the turn of the century! A "tank" (Pond) with catfish so full that all you had to do was stomp on the bank and see them surface! The ranch has a quietness to it where you can be swallowed up for life! You can walk down the ranch road on a cool Winter day and actually see the breath of a small squirrel searching for its "winter stash!" And, Spring, lovely Spring, where all the babies are born and run and jump..excited just for one new day! To live as part of it all instead of in it? Those are memories I share with anyone looking for romance! Or, you can ask me to tell you a few of my special "Texas Tales," just to keep the conversation going.

Ken and I met in 1991 and married August, 1992 and relocated to Illinois for 5-years.  The weather was too harsh for me, and I missed my family and friends, and more than anything, THE GREAT STATE OF TEXAS!  So, on February 3, 1999 we relocated to Smithville, Texas to set up business and our home..... never again to leave Texas!  Our roots are in place again.  With Texas license plates and driver's licenses, we both are very happy to be home again!
