  Say Hello to Officer Nemo!   Nemo is a Belgium Malinois Shepard dog. This breed of dog is used to tract humans and used for detection of odors like explosives, accelerants and narcotics.    He is one of two K-9 police officers for the City of Alvin. He has a busy and sometimes dangerous job.   Nemo is a dual purpose narcotic/ patrol K-9. Most police k-9's are on the job for ten years and then are released into retirement to live with their handlers.   It takes a long time to train these types of service dogs; and they are very expensive to obtain. Luckily for the city he was donated by K-9 Officers, Inc.     Nemo is certified by the International Police Working Dog Association.   Shown in the picture is his handler Officer Green. A tough and rugged man. I wonder if he would let me fi...

  Yep! I cut his face up really Good!   I cut out the eyes and eye brows... a mouth and nose! The boys were not to happy to know that they had to clean out the pumpkins.     Tonight was our annual pumpkin carving night.      It was a very thin bunch but we got it done.             They really were happy when Grampa John put my expensive scented candles in so they could see what they looked like all up. Happy Halloween everyone!

      Alvin Depot Days     That’s right people! Alvin Depot Days will be here in five days!   The event will start with a parade featuring the Shriners, funny art cars, antique tractors, horses, bands and much more.   After the parade, Oak Park will be waiting with vendor booths where you can buy many interesting craft items. There will be a trackless train ride for the children, face painting, clowns AND food, lots and lots of food. There will also be a vendor who will set up his rock climbing wall so that you can see what you are made of.   Best of all I am told that it is a possibility that the Chief of Police will be a feature at the dunking booth.  Hmmmmm maybe I will visit that booth….   In any case I hope to see you there!

There are usually only seven homes for lease or rent in Alvin.  Checking the MLS for our area I see that there are only four. Rental homes in Alvin are at high demand and they don’t stay on the market for very many days. I have seen rental homes rented the same day they hit the MLS. So if you see the one you like; you don’t have time to go home and think about renting that home you just viewed.   If you are thinking about renting or leasing in Alvin please call Sussie Sutton at 713-822-1655. I will be more than happy to show the listing available in the city of your choice. I have placed the available Alvin listings below for your convenience.   Address                      Subdivision             SF       List Price    BR    Bth/ Half Bth    1102 College              College Park      ...

I don't normally write contracts for leases or rental homes but many leads have come through for such a product.  So I have relented and done a few. I realize that I have to butter my bread somehow.   Most of the leads come in from the Alvin area so I tell those people that there are always only seven homes in Alvin to lease. I tell them that there is no thinking about the house they just viewed; if they like it enough that they should lease it because tomorrow it will be gone. This has happened three times in the last two months. They have realized that I was not lying to them.   There percentage of rentals to homestead ownership is about 45%. This high rental percentage means that there is a great demand in Alvin for rental homes. You can almost rent a small tool shed for $900 and fi...

Easter Traditions - The Coloring of the Easter Eggs I am a true believer in traditions that children as adults can reflect back with on with fondness. I hope that my grandchildren will remember me when I am long gone and continue the traditions that I have started for my family.   I fondly remember hunting eggs at a nearby park with my parents and uncles, aunts and cousins. I don't ever remember coloring eggs at all. I guess my mom did them after the five of us went to bed.   In any case I have started the Coloring of the Easter Eggs tradition. It occurs every Good Friday. It has been going on for some time and all the children that come love it. So do the teens and adults. Oh some will gripe and say why do I have to color an egg? Well it's my rule if you come, you have to color at leas...

The economic outlook for the Greater Alvin Area looks great, according to Larry Buehler, Economic Development Director for the City of Alvin. Buehler spoke to a group of about 20 Realtors who work in and around the Alvin area at a Realtor's listening session and roundtable discussion on April 1.   The City of Alvin put on a series of listening sessions with various groups in order to assess public opinion on the growth of the Greater Alvin Area, and gain ideas for managing its fast-moving development. I was invited to attend the session by fellow Rainer Sussie Sutton, who serves as Development Coordinator for the City of Alvin.   Realtors in attendance agreed that Alvin has a number of positive qualities, including great public schools, Alvin Community College, numerous employment oppo...

Rent A Car Sell A House My car was losing water as quickly as we put it in. No way I would or could afford that much replacement anti-freeze. So I decided to take it to my mechanic Mr. Rudy. I have showings and much Real Estate business to attend to. I called the local car rental and reserved a car over the phone prior to all the good larger sized models being rented out. As usual, after paying for my rental I gave my spiel, "since I have given you my money; I am now giving you my business card... so if you know anyone who is looking for a home please give them my card or better yet give me their contact information." The other rental rep behind me jumps up and says those magic words..."I am looking for a home to buy!" that was Monday this week. Today, we went and decided which new subd...

Me and Milo Hamilton AND Baseball   Well I know I have been missing in action here on Active Rain. I was not just hiding but I was out and moving around with my day job. It is going great recently. I get to meet new people all the time.   One of the people I met recently was Milo Hamilton recently retired from baseball radio play by play announcer and I just have to say he is the most interesting person I have ever met. He had me rivited to my seat during our luncheon in Alvin where he was introducing some of the new Astro Base Ball players. As I listened to him speak I realized he could have easily become a comedian; but Milo's first love is baseball not comedy. He is still doing some marketing for baseball in his old age. He's got it going on.   I was having a bad hair day but look pa...

Alvin Music Festival and Rock Climbing Alvin had their first Music Festival this weekend and it was a success. There were many vendors food and trinkets alike, as usual. John and I had a great time and we got our walk in. While we were milling around we came across this rock climbing set up. The kids were really enjoying it and when I lose more weight I want to do this. Yep! It's going in my bucket list!
