Great Opening night at Rodeo Houston! And my Besties were waiting for me when I got home 😻

As we head into Thanksgiving, I’m reminded of how the simplest moments in a kitchen—laughing, cooking, sharing—can make a space feel truly special. 🧡 Wishing you a holiday filled with good food, cozy memories, and the people who make your home feel warm. Hope your week is full of comfort and gratitude.

Today, we pause to honor the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of our veterans. Thank you to all who have served and protected our freedom. Let’s celebrate our heroes—past and present—who make this nation proud. Happy Veterans Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to my Best Friend! 🩵 I am who I am because of all you have done to support me!

Im proud to say I have been serving on this committee for over 6 years.

Interesting Read!

Home Buyer: I want a house built after 1980.
Me: Actually, you don't.
Let me explain.
Newer isn't always better, and this picture sums it up pretty well. The quality of modern lumber is simply far inferior to the quality of lumber they were using to build homes in the early and mid-20th century. Wood quality began dropping on a serious scale in the 1980s due to old-growth timber being almost completely depleted. Most wood used today is grown very fast - not only can you visibly see the difference in quality, but the newer lumber is more prone to rotting due to a lack of heartwood. Slow growth wood yields much more heartwood, which is the longest lasting part of the tree, whereas sap wood (new growth wood) will rot very quickly. Modern lumber is also a lot more prone to termite damage as it is softer and easier to consume whereas old lumber is extremely resinous and naturally termite resistant. A good rule - as long as the plumbing and electric has been updated, a well-built home from the mid-20th century is a better investment and will likely outlast a newer build.

*Clarification: Yes, these two pieces of lumber come from two different trees. The expert in the attached article is not comparing the lumber of the same tree over time. He is comparing the lumber that was commonly used to build houses 75 years ago versus the lumber commonly used to build houses today.
