I have been so bad about keeping up with my blog..........

I have only one excuse........

I am in the Land of Manana!

I am really, really going to try and do this more often.

I have been busy with life...........

Bought my dream home in theTexas Hill Country

Did a HUGE remodel on the house there

Bought more land with another house on it

Was able to pull off a wonderful Holiday Season with all the family

Finally got a NEW PC for Christmas

Did another remodel

Rented it out

Packed up Miss Sammy girl (who loves to chase the poor deer)

Drove back to Mexico

Cleaned House to ready for the incoming family

Took a jewelry class with the best ever....... Richard Salley

@ Hacienda Mosaico

.........if you haven't been you are missing a fantastic time!

Sam is the best Hostess!

Had a terrible freak storm(it's not even rainy season here in Bucerias, Mexico) and am still cleaning that mess up.......well...... it is the land of manana!

Friends and Family have all gone home

Whew!

I have missed every one of you and hope you enjoy the pictures that show what's been happening the last few months

Deep in Dripping Springs Remodel

I am still PC-less and on a borrowed one.....so here is a quick update.
We are doing our remodel in Dripping Springs and learning our way around the Texas Hill Country and our way around sub-contractors........
Let's just say.......School is not cheap!

I am now being called
"The Corn Lady"
Every afternoon I spread corn out for the deer and they watch and wait for me......
I would rather be called "The Deer Whisperer".....
They are not afraid to come in close.
I LOVE IT!
My art is on hold for the moment...... but....
Colors and Choices are surrounding me!
See you soon!

Dreams Do Come True

In one of my earlier posts I had said..... I dreamed of having a home in the Texas Hill Country
Well
My Dream of a Country Home has come true!
And an added bonus
I am so close to my fav Art Supply Store in Austin!

We just closed on our "NEW" country home!

I am Dreaming of sitting by this fireplace surrounded by family and friends

Part of the deal was this had to stay

Even Surfer Dude is excited to have his on "spread"

The deer are free and roam at will
So many trees!
Someday....... chickens and a horse!

The"garden" may have to wait,
but my spirit is soaring!

The closing was all happening while SD and I were in the middle of the
Dreaded Dengue Fever
down in Mexico
Who knew one little mosquito could bring such havoc on a person......or two.
Thanks for the notes of kindness
I am so Grateful!
It's time to get back to being
CREATIVE
I hear a shrine calling my name!
