Here is our Texas home, sweet home.
Linda sent these gorgeous fresh flowers to me the day I got back from taking Lindsey to BYU-Idaho. The cheerful arrangement brightened the entryway while I was at home. Thank you, Linda, for thinking of me while I was transitioning from taking Lindsey to school to heading back to Taiwan. What a wonderful surprise it is to open your front door and see a floral bouquet delivered to you with a smile.
I made a trip to Chipotle for a burrito bowl while I was in the States. For some reason, I have missed Mexican food the most.
Here's a lovely view of our flower bed in the front of our house. Raul and his crew are doing an excellent job, as usual, keeping the curb appeal strong.
Our neighbors on the corner, Kathy and Darryl, have their white stone house well lit to give it a cozy look at night, so I copied their idea. Jim added some nightscaping lights to the front of the house and I love the way it turned out, with the lighting adding a tasteful accent to the bricks and shrubs.
We LOVE our new pool! There are a couple of problems that need to be fixed, so we're crossing our fingers that they get it done right, and soon, considering we have given them the final check for the balance of the pool, and we don't have any leverage. Three of the waterfalls work. This is the main one and I like the natural look. Below, here's the deep end waterfall, and it's flows nicely. The water sheer like this one, that flows into the shallow beach area, is the fall that is not working. It's frustrating, but hopefully they'll fix it soon. The fountain in the spa is blocked too. Here's the small rock waterfall, which works just great. It took about 18 hours to fill the pool and we practically watched it gallon by gallon. I stayed up all night long, making sure it didn't overflow. We swim in it every day. Last night we went on a midnight swim and it was beautiful. The water temperature is perfect. I'm extremely thankful that we have our new...

I'm so sorry about the missing wallet and vacuum experience! Hopefully something good game out of all that. :( And congrats on successfully sending your daughter off to the Y-Idaho. (I'm with you, though... BYU Provo all the way! -Hubby and I met there.) :) But she will have a fabulous time. I actually have cousins at that campus as well.
Anyway, sorry for the long comment. Just wanted to say hi from Texas (albeit Houston). :)
