The Southern Plainsmen Mystery is Solved About a week ago I posted that the Southern Plainsmen Quartet was coming to Riverside, Texas!! I used the media photo that the group emailed me and received several comments about there being FIVE people in the photo. So... I went to their website hoping to solve the mystery... The website said "quartet" .... So I clicked on the ‘meet the guys’ tab and there were only THREE men featured !?!? Today those THREE men sang for us.  They lost their bass singer due to a job transfer.... AND their lead singer went off to college.   SO... the show must go on..... and boy did it!! They have recruited a new bass who will begin to sing with them next month. Until then, Allen Doyle, the baritone, pulled two jobs (quite well I must say!) He also sang bass. Th...

An Attitude of Gratitude in Riverside and Beyond: Grady and Amy Hanna Meet Grady and Amy Hanna. They live near the little town of Riverside, Texas in Walker County.   One of the things I love most about them is their Attitude of Gratitude! This is shown by the many ways they reach out to serve others. Grady and Amy are members of the Conroe Chapter of the Christian Motorcyclists Association. They go into places where most people would never dream of going. Especially those who call themselves “Christians.” They frequent biker rallies, races, and tours and have even been known to visit some biker bars. Grady is the Vice President and Amy is the treasurer of their local chapter, The Conroe Messengers. While at rallies, the CMA is often entrusted by the other group to collect  the money b...

Day 4: I am Thankful for my Church Families On Tuesday I told you that I was thankful for where I live and that kind of explains why I AM NOT thankful for my church family, but I AM thankful for my church familieS.   I am a member at Riverside Baptist Church. One of the blessings of living in a small town, is that in order to get things done, we have to be united! We get together with the other churches in town to put on special music for different holidays, we hold revivals together, we are one church with multiple locations. Meet a few of my pastors (Yes, I have more!) ♥             Today I am Thankful for my Church Families

Day 2 of the Be Thankful Challenge Today I am thankful for where I live. I live in a VERY small town. ☺ When a house catches on fire, everyone knows it. They are out hunting down a place for you to live, furniture to put in it, and food to put on the table.         When someone walks in the Little Pizza Heaven all  by themselves.... pretty soon there will be someone talking to them (from another table). No need to eat alone in Riverside. Lake people are laid back and very friendly! Our churches hold revivals together... We have Thanksgiving supper together the weekend before Thanksgiving at the local volunteer fire department... We celebrate life together... and there are times when we mourn together.   We are family. Today I am thankful for where I live!

Glow in the Dark ZUMBA for Halloween     Tonight the Heavenly Bodies ZUMBA class at Riverside Baptist Church had Glow in the Dark ZUMBA for Halloween.  It was GREAT fun! It's kinda hard to tell, but we had glow in the dark, headbands, necklaces and bracelets. Oh, and one ankle bracelet! :)))     If you would like to join us for ZUMBA, we have classes on M, TU and TH evenings at 6 pm in the Fellowship Hall.     There is no ZUMBA on the first TH of the month due to Women on Mission.     You do not have to be a member of Riverside Baptist Church to participate in ZUMBA. ☺ We'd love to have you! ♥     Glow in the Dark ZUMBA for Halloween

Fall Hallelujah Party at RBC a BIG Success! Thank you to the community of Riverside for showing up and making the Fall Hallelujah Party at Riverside Baptist Church a BIG Success. There were tons of costumes on both children AND adults. The children enjoyed a train ride, cupcake walk (MY personal favorite), many different games, lots of CANDY, hot dogs and lemonade! I’m not sure who had more fun.... the kids.... or the BIG kids! It’s so easy to sell what you love, and I love where I live! THANK YOU, Riverside!! :))) Fall Hallelujah Party at RBC a BIG Success! There's a ton of photos of the event on my facebook page! :))

Lake Livingston Marinas - Part 1 Featuring Marinas on the North End of Lake Livingston!   For this series of posts I will begin with the marinas located in Walker County.   Today’s Featured Marina is Harmon Creek Marina Located at: 14 Marina Point Drive Huntsville, Texas 77320   For those of you new to Lake Livingston and trying to check out where Huntsville is on Lake Livingston, rest assured, it is NOT there.  But Riverside, Texas IS!   What does Riverside, Texas have to do with this, you ask?   Well... Riverside is located 15 miles north-east of Huntsville. It is a town of 425 people.  Though we do have a post office, it is too small to handle mail delivery. So our mail comes from the Huntsville post office. Thus -- a Huntsville address.   Having said that, Harmon Creek Marina has a ...

SALE PENDING on Waterfront Lot in Lakeside Village   Woo Hoo! Today I executed a contract on a beautiful waterfront lot in Lakeside Village on Lake Livingston! This shot is from the edge of the lot looking out at the cove (Lake Livingston).   I had this lot listed in 2008 and Barbara Collins sold it. Well here we are in 2011 and the seller decided to sell it.  He called Barbara Collins to list it and now I have sold it! :)))  We’ve come full circle.   My buyers are going to build on it. They are excited to get to work on it and I am excited for them.   I’m heading over today to put a sale pending sign on it and to put a sign up on my new listing of 3 lots on Tall Timbers! :))) God is GREAT!   SALE PENDING on Waterfront Lot in Lakeside Village
