    1. Ahhh, Deanna darling, so nice to hear from you ! Texas has blizzard conditions in the Panhandle and it's like Spring in Houston.

  3. What a gorgeous estate. Our last house in Houston was in Hunters Creek on Kuhlman. Lovely area and close to absolutely everything.

    1. Sam, we live a couple of streets over from Kuhlman...so in the same neighborhood for certain. Small world isn't it?

  4. What an odd coincidence....I've never read your blog before, just clicked over here from Tish's because you posted a comment saying you were in Houston (as am I). Much to my surprise, I recognized this house, whose original owners were acquaintances of mine. Small world indeed.

Please know how much I value your comments. I read every single one and do hope you will take the time to leave your thoughts. I think InstaGram with the Emojis have taken a lot away from blogging, but I love IG too.
