No phone service of any kind. Parts of my roof gone with the wind. Lots of junk in the yard. Beyond that, my household is doing great. So very much for which to give thanks.
No news must be good news, I haven’t seen any TV coverage of Katy except to say many of us have power restored. This includes my family.
So many of our Houston and Galveston neighbors are suffering terrific losses; my heart breaks for them. As a New Orleans native, I’m a veteran hurricane gal and one who never wants to experience another.
God bless you all, Julie
One more fun activity, appropriate for all ages, will be going on in Seven Meadows for the next week weeks; it's the Summer Movie Series!
Escape the July heat every Monday, at 2.p.m, at the Central Park Residents (only) Club. Join your neighbors while watching classic Walt Disney films. OF course, there is no charge.
Following is the schedule:
Crossbridge United Methodist Church is graciously providing popcorn and water for the residents.
Don't you wish you lived in Seven Meadows?
Driving south to my office on Westheimer Pkwy, I exit the Grand Pkwy turning left into Cinco Ranch. As soon as I exit the Grand Pkwy traveling east there is the most spectacular flower bed full of purple petunias and golden marigolds! I adore this flowerbed; it’s my college colors purple and gold. Yes, it appears to honor my glorious LSU Tigers, National Champs once again. Yep, National Champs twice in five years!
Other purple and gold flowerbeds occur throughout Cinco Ranch; pictured above is the one across from the Katy YMCA. Do you think that the landscaper also went to LSU? I have to wonder.
I’ve been driving through Cinco Ranch looking for orange marigolds and white petunias or begonias. Horns, I can’t find you anywhere. Please help me undertake this search; let me know if you can find your school colors. I will take a photo and feature your floral display in my blog. Any neighborhood will qualify as long as the blooms are orange and white.
The same sad situation exists for the Aggies. I can’t find your flowers anywhere and I’ve been searching. Where are the Aggie colors? There’s a strain of maroon begonias that would qualify beautifully. Again, white petunias could complete the traditional display or, even better, white begonias would be perfect. Like the challenge to the UT graduates, Aggies please let me know where you find your colors. I will happily feature them in my blog.
Until then, dear friends, the Tigers rock!
To many gardeners, a Firethorne is a hybridized plant in the pyracantha family. Not so for Katy residents, our Firethorne is a rapidly developing 1,400 acre master-planned community located on FM 1463 in the Katy/Fulshear area. When Firethorne is built out, there will be 3,600 more homes in the area. I don’t have to tell you that Katy is exploding west of Katy Mills Mall.
Like the just announced Cross Creek Ranch master-planned development, Firethorne includes a large amount of open areas, green space, lakes and parks. Firethorne has designated 150 acres for parks and recreation; a 12-acre lake with surrounding green belts; and, a lakeside deck with outdoor fireplace and entertainment facilities. There will be a natural wildlife pond and hike and bike trails.
Firethorne is located where the Texas Coastal Plain transitions into grasslands and meandering creeks. To preserve this natural habitat, nature trails provide up-close encounters with the natural surroundings from native wildflowers, oak trees, pecan trees and native wildlife. Deer and the ever-watchful red tail hawks call Firethorne home. Wild ducks and geese migrate through the area often raising their young before they head further south for the winter.
Firethorne is a celebration of Texas natural beauty and gorgeous new construction. If you haven't visited, put it on your list for Sunday afternoon adventures. You'll enjoy yourself!
LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch announced the Summer Saturdays in Cinco series presented in partnership with the Cinco Ranch Property Owners Association and ARTreach. Summer Saturdays in Cinco is a children's cultural arts series offering free educational performances throughout the summer.
Series performances start at 10:30 a.m. and take place bimonthly on the third and fourth Saturdays in June, July and August. Performance locations will be shared between Simply Cinco, the new-home information center for the Cinco Ranch master-planned community and Heritage Square, both located in LaCenterra.
The retail center is located west of Houston at 23501 Cinco Ranch Boulevard at Grand Parkway in Katy. For directions, please visit www.lacenterra.com or call (281) 395-5533.
The series kicks off June 21 in Simply Cinco with storyteller Dan Gordon's "Dante Teller of Tales." Guests are invited to join Dante on an exciting and interactive voyage to the Land of Stories. Dante recounts stirring tales which teach lessons of understanding differences and finding good in all.
Guests are encouraged to participate in the tales with movement and voice. By the end of the adventure, voyagers will feel as if they've become storytellers themselves.
