Tomball Business & Professional Women 13th Annual”Fall Food Fest” will be held at Tomball United Methodist Church on Baker Street Tuesday, October 18th, 2011 from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM.

Last year we were able to give 6 high school Seniors scholarships plus one additional scholarship to Lonestar college and one scholarship to Leadership North Houston. We are hoping that we will even be able to give more this coming year.

This event serves as our organization’s primary fund-raising effort to secure funds for scholarships for high school graduates in Tomball & Magnolia School Districts as well as a scholarship to someone attending Tomball College. Additionally our organization’s fund-raising contributes to numerous community needs.

Local restaurants will be providing samples of their food.
Pizza
Cassaroles
Blackened catfish
Soups
Mexican food
Catfish
Cakes Pies
and More

Adult Plates are $8.00. Seniors 60 and over are $5.00 and children under 10 are $2.50. If you don’t have time to stay To Go Plates are also available.

A raffle, along with a silent auction, is part of our fund-raising efforts for this event. Raffle tickets are presently being sold with the winners of the raffle items announced at the Food Fest. Raffle tickets are $5.00 apiece or 5 for $20. In previous years I have sold 4 winning tickets. You could be my next winning ticket!

Please come and support our scholarships for High School seniors and others in need.

We appreciate Tomball United Methodist Church on Baker Street allowing us to use their Church for our fundraiser. This is an easy location to get to. If you are coming from 2920 turn north on Baker and you will curve to the church on the left. If you are coming from SH 249 turn to the east on Baker and the Church will be on your right.

Drought at Lake Conroe!!

By admin · Comments (1)

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011

The pictures above were taken Labor Day weekend. I was going to post them right away but then the wild fires started and after that the lake seemed trivial. Now that the fires are over I am back to posting about Lake Conroe. Lake Conroe is a back up water supply for Houston and with the severe drought we have been in they have had to start taking water out of Lake Conroe. It is so sad to see the lake being depleted but at the same time I understand why it has to be done.

If you have followed my blog you know that we are in two active sail boat clubs on the lake. When we were there Labor day weekend it looked like a ghost lake. Typically you would see several sailboats and a lot of motorboats. We saw maybe three motorboats, a couple of jet skis and NO sailboats on the lake.

We have a Catalina 22 which is a relatively small sailboat. We have the retractable keel and keep it at Conroe Yacht Club on dry ground. Our friends with the larger boats have had to find creative ways to get their boats off the water. I expect it is going to be several years before the lake is back to normal. We will miss our sailboat races but in the grand scheme of things people having water to live with is more important.

Please pray for rain in Texas. It is going to take a lot of rain to get us back to normal levels.

Friday Photo – Life is rough!!

By admin · Comments (0)

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

This is Dundy our rescue dog. We rescued him over 2 years ago and what a joy he has been. His cute Golden face got him in the Golden Rescue but he is only about 50 pounds so is for sure a mix. Other than Golden we are not sure what he is although I think he has some Border Collie. I hear we could pay $60 and do a test to find out but it is kind of fun to guess. He is the best guard dog we have ever had. His bark sounds like he is a Rottweiler. Problem is when you open the door you have this cute bundle of fur greeting you. He is happy we found him and the feeling is mutual!!

Lake Conroe Sailing Association Thursday night races!

Lake Conroe Sailing Association Thursday night sail boat races

Lake Conroe Sailing Associations Thursday night races are in the middle of the season as we are still experiencing plenty of wind. Typically in the summer our winds die down and lots of races get canceled due to lack of wind. Not so this year!

The wind is the good news but the bad news is that we are not experiencing any rain. We have lived here for almost 15 years and this is the driest we have ever seen our area. My sister lives in the Denver area and for some odd reason they seem to be getting all the rain. Typically at this time of the year they look brown and dull and we look green and lush but that is not the case this year. Again trying to find a positive out of our drought we do have a lot of wind so consider coming out to join us on Thursday nights. You don’t have to own a boat to participate people are always looking for crew. I help on the committee boat and my husband crews. For more information visit Lake Conroe Sailing Associations website.

Happy 4th of July – but no firework displays this year!

Firework display at August Pines Golf Club 2010

The pictures above were taken at the Augusta Pines firework display last year. My slideshow will be the only fireworks we will be seeing in Harris County this year as all firework displays in Harris and Montgomery County have been cancelled due to our severe drought. We had a nice thunderstorm the other night but being about 17 inches low the ground just immediately soaked it up.

We have lived here since December 1996 and it is so strange not seeing the fireworks stands open. Usually they are doing a booming business but this is also the driest that it has been since we have lived here. Typically the entire day of the 4th I hear firecrackers going off but today it has been blissfully quiet. As much as we love our fireworks we love our Texas land more and I’m proud to see everyone going along with the fireworks ban. (Mind you there is a $500 fine being imposed if you do shoot a firework and that means any kind of firework.) As dry as everything is I think we all understand the importance of no fireworks this year.

On the other hand our dog Dundy does not like fireworks and is THRILLED about the ban (lol).
I wish you all a happy 4th of July.

Our Alaskan vacation – flying around Mt. McKinley!!

Our Alaskan vacation - flying around Mt. McKinley

I have to be honest when my husband came up with the idea of flying around Mt. McKinley I was not sure about the whole idea. I decided to buck up and WOW what an INCREDIBLE experience! (I did have my bible study praying that I would have a peace that transcended understanding and I did have that peace.) We only had a few days of beautiful clear skies and we were blessed to have one of those days.

National Day of Prayer at Tomball TX May 5th 2011!!

By admin · Comments (0)

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

Tomball is celebrating the National Day of prayer by having a prayer event at the historic Tomball depot. The event will take place Thursday May 5th at 12:00 noon. They are asking us to meet at the Gazebo by the Tomball depot.

This years theme is “A Mighty Fortress is Our God”.

The National Day of Prayer was officially created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the U.S. Congress, and signed into law by President Harry Truman. Since 1952, every president has signed a National Day of Prayer proclamation. President Barack Obama on Friday April 29th proclaimed May 5th 2011 as the National Day of Prayer, continuing a long tradition in the face of protest. For the complete story here’s an article from the Christian post.

I am planning on being at the Gazebo at noon. I hope you will join me on May 5th in praying for our nation, our military and all these national disasters we are experiencing in our country.

Auburn Lakes – The closer Woods!

By admin · Comments (0)

Friday, April 29th, 2011

Auburn Lakes is a master planned community covering over 500 acres in unincorporated Northwest Harris County. It is conveniently located just south of The Woodlands off of Gosling and Rayford Rd. As you can see from my title Auburn Lakes call themselves the closer woods and the name is totally appropriate. As The Woodlands has grown their amenities are getting closer and closer to Auburn Lakes. If you are not sure that you want to live in The Woodlands but do like having access then Auburn Lakes could be the perfect solution for you. An additional bonus is that it is closer in to Houston also.

When the community is finished there will be around 1200 homes. Some of the amenities the community offers its residents are a community center with a banquet room and an open air pavilion; Olympic size swimming pool along with a play pool. A very cool amenity is an indoor fitness center; as I was taking picture I could see residents working out in the fitness center. If you like nature you will enjoy the nature parks and playgrounds. Tennis courts are also available for the residents.

If you are in to playing golf portions of the subdivision are being developed along the Willow Creek Golf Course, a private 18-hole championship course. You are also just a few miles away from Augusta Pines Golf Course; not to even mention all the golf courses in The Woodlands.

There are 4 different Auburn Lakes communities to choose from so there’s something fro everyone.

Auburn Lake The Pines has homes starting from $190,000 to about $260,000. The builders in The Pines are First Texas Homes, Infinity Classic Homes and Lennar Homes. The lot sizes are approximately 60′ by 120′.

Auburn Lakes The Reserve has homes starting from $230,000 to about $300,000. The builders in The Reserve are First Texas Homes and Lennar Homes. The lot sizes are approximately 70′ by 120′.

Auburn Lakes The Retreat has homes starting from $340,000 to $490,000. The builder in The Retreat is Village Builders. The lot sizes are approximately 80′ by 130′.

Auburn Lakes The Estates has homes starting from$650,000 to $1 million. The custom builders are Cannon Custom Homes, Croix Custom Homes, Marshall & O’Connor and Meadowlark Homes. The lot sizes are approximately 90′/100′ by 150′.

The subdivision is located in the acclaimed Klein ISD. The grade school at the moment is Northampton Elementary, the intermediate is Hildebrandt and the high school is Klein Oak. Ground is soon to be broken for a new elementary school on Rayford close to Gosling.
