Hasn’t the year just flown by? There’s so much that needs to be done, but we just haven’t been getting to it. Here’s where things stand for December for the properties: The San Antonio house: The yard is ready for winter. Property taxes are paid. The Central Texas house: The … Continue reading →
I skipped last month’s update, because we were mostly traveling and hadn’t gotten much done. I don’t know what the excuse is for this month. The San Antonio House: We got basic yard work completed. We trimmed the alley hedge. We trimmed the front hedges. We downed a tree by … Continue reading →
