Chicken Chic
August 29th, 2009 categories: Home Improvement & Design, Kids, Family & Personal Stuff, The Realtor's Life
BRYAN, TX -- Shabby Chic has come to include chickens!! With all of the interest in green products and organic foods, you had to know it was just a matter of time before raising hens became hip. Truly, there is no better pet than a brood of hens (call me if you wanna hear stories about roosters:( Poultry in motion - they are cheap cute and cuddly. Their food and water is low maintenance. Then they give you eggs every 26 hours. This is a cash positive pet! My interest in poultry began many years ago. I grew up in Dallas with a little yard. Each year at Easter I asked my parents for those cute colored chicks at the feed store on the edge of town. The reply: "they grow up into older chickens which we have no time nor space for." In 2008 my family had an open Spring Break...not one thing planned. So I got the marvelous idea to buy three baby chicks for week-long entertainment. My daughter within three days herded her brood around the yard. We had no previous knowledge of poultry so some family friends who have property in Robertson County helped us out. They told us how to...| Discussion: 1 Comment »
Jose’s Mexican Food Restaurant in Bryan, TX
July 31st, 2009 categories: Community Events, Kids, Family & Personal Stuff
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3uHwBG5lME[/youtube]Nothing beats a chain-food lunch or dinner like an original restaurant. A well known local establishment for fine Mexican food is Jose's on South Texas Avenue in Bryan. Jose's is known by locals for "good food, good drinks and good fun." It is named after it's owner Jose Montemayor, who came from Mexico to live out the American Dream and cook fine Mexican cuisine for the people of the Brazos Valley. Jose came to Bryan-College Station in 1971 and purchased the local Zarape Restaurant. He wants all patrons to know that the menu choices you find at his restaurant comes from what you would normally find served in a typical Mexican home. The recipes from the Jose's and Zarape restaurants come from Jose's Mother, Mama Maria de los Angeles Garcia de Montemayor. Everything cooked and served in the restaurant is made from scratch, and there are no pre-prepared foods, no soy extenders, no flavor enhancers, and no instant mixes. If you are hungry for authentic Mexican food, Jose's and Zarape's are definitely places to try! Questions about Buying or Selling Real Estate? Give me a call 979-218-2235 or Send me an Email!

A Great Place for Breakfast and Coffee in College Station
July 20th, 2009 categories: Kids, Family & Personal Stuff
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp0XTQcMY5I[/youtube]While you can never go wrong with a sit-down breakfast of bacon, pancakes and eggs, if given the choice on what we are eating for breakfast, my son and daughter will always suggest going to Kolache Rolf's before anything else. Whether you have time to sit down and enjoy your meal, or if you need to get breakfast on the run, Kolache Rolf's is always there to provide you with a variety of breakfast choices. The store is owned and operated by Rolf and Melissa Larson. When Rolf was a child, he purchased a pig at a county fair and then raised him as a loving pet. Rolf fed the pig old Kolaches, rode around on his back and had the pig following him on a leash. Rolf learned responsibility through caring for the pig and the pig and boy developed a strong friendship. As a result, his dad named the pig "Kolache Rolf" and that is where the store got it's name. The Lawsons' have three store locations: on Longmire--in the Kroger shopping center in South College Station, on Texas Avenue--next to Copy Corner, and in the Tejas Center in Bryan--next to the HEB. Our favorite breakfast items are: the Sausage and Cheese Kolaches, the Bacon Egg and...| Discussion: Your Comments Please »

SportClips in College Station – What Is the Big Deal???
March 12th, 2009 categories: Kids, Family & Personal Stuff
What is it about SportCips and Men (and boys)? Why is it such a big deal to get a hair cut there? Spent a little time waiting for my son outside SportClips today at 200 University Dr in College Station. I watched men and boys go in and sit and wait. SportClips was a little short handed today and the wait was longer then normal but these men were willing to wait over an hour to get a haircut there. Why? Big sign on the front - For Men And Boys. All Star Haircuts. Sign - No appointment necessary. (never plan in advance for a haircut) The name sounds manly. The stylists are all WOMEN! The decor in the waiting area has a locker room look with a big screen TV playing ONLY sports. No one talks while you wait. Aggie gear on the walls.... maybe it is a TAMU thing. We could have easily have set an appointment with my stylist Faye (who is wonderful!), had a schedule, gone in, gotten the haircut and been out in way less time but NOOOOO! We had to get a haircut (more...)| Discussion: Your Comments Please »
