  1. Thanks! It's been a rather uneventful day, which I find as I get older, is a good thing. Now the countdown to Baby #2's grand entrance, sometime between Feb 26 and Mar 14. We'll see!
  2. Could not agree more with you both. Memorial Bend is just one neighborhood seeing a LOT of the negative sides to recent McMansion activity, and its charm is eroding along with some residents who simply cannot afford to keep up with the Jones' appraisal values. It is very sad.
  3. I remember Town & Country in the late 80s early 90s. I remember when Abercrombie & Fitch were OUTFITTERS--much like an upscale LL Bean or Orvis. I still have my parents' knife set that came from A&F. I also remember well that Sweeney's was the wonderful jeweler right outside the mall in the Village. I loved that store! I was the store manager of Bombay Company for two years at T&C. In fact, I helped open our superstore there in 1992. It was a great time for us. Our store was consistently #1 in Houston until the Galleria store expanded into a superstore. T&C mall went into decline not too long after that, though, and I requested a transfer to the River Oaks store on W. Gray. I remember the food court--or lack thereof...some french bakery thing with sandwiches and some of the best blueberry muffins in the morning. There was a Sbarro and an Arby's. There was also a Neuhaus Chocolatier downstairs, which was a really big deal. Some sort of nut & candy store downstairs, too, next to the Mrs. Field's cookies. As far as Anchor stores, oh my, there was of course Neiman-Marcus, and Marshall Field's, and I believe JC Penney. I loved Marshall Field's, but the best store was Neiman's, going up to the clearance center and eating at the cafe, too. Yum!
  4. I'd like to second that. It is the best if you like NY style pizza. Pizza Roma was my favorite until they closed...
  5. I believe the building going up currently on the site is the Lifetime Fitness. Nice to hear McCormick & Schmick's is going in. I like that place.
  6. Vic Man, I appreciate your school info.
  7. Grogan's Mill is located in the very front of the Woodlands, so it is not as desirous as being in, say, Cochran's Crossing. I wouldn't hesitate to be over there...considering it's a super-quick jaunt to the Woodlands Sawdust P&R. There are some parts of Grogan's Mill that are in the $750K + arena, and some that are in the low $130K's. The Slash Pine neighborhood will be seeing the same benefits like Trace Creek, Rush Haven, etc with the renewed interest in Life Forms. It's a good investment for sure.
  8. These are the latest listings for Life Forms homes in The Woodlands: Cochran's Crossing 11 Sand Piper Place 29 Windstar Court Indian Springs 103 E. Trace Creek 22 Winter Wheat Place 47 Winter Wheat Place 26 Twisted Birch Place Ct. 10 Breezy Point Place Grogan's Mill 11419 Slash Pine (Life Form's first neighborhood) 11425 Slash Pine Alden Bridge 31 S. Greywing Place 66 Hidden Meadow 6 Hidden Meadow 15 Vinca Trail (newer built) 18 Flickering Sun (newer built) 15 Cloud Bank Place (newer built) 86 Flickering Sun (newer built) 55 New Avery Place 35 Autumn Branch Circle Keep in mind some of the above have contracts already, but that doesn't mean you can't put in an offer!
  9. Wow. I am sad about Garner....not really about Tim Purpura though. Houston Chronicle Story
  10. puma is right, you have a hollywood smile.

  11. My wedding reception was at The 43rd, the restaurant at the top of Wedge Tower. The gift room, adjacent to the restaurant, was Kickerillo's old office. It was paneled in ostrich skin. Absolutely incredible. The 43rd at Wedge Tower
  12. We terminated our contract on Otter Pond today. Both hubby and I feel like we need to stay in Spring Branch ISD where we are, or at least Katy ISD, for right now. Both districts have exceptional programs for special needs students, and I was not getting good vibes from the administrators at CISD. They seemed to be put out that I even wanted to speak with them about my daughter when she wasn't even enrolled in school yet. Our condo is still on the market, but The Woodlands, sadly, is out, which means Life Forms is too. I am a little sad, though not too much. I truly believe God has already told us what we should be doing, so I am okay with this decision. There are no coincidences, ya know? :closedeyes:
  13. Ours is in Sylvan Forest Katie, but I know which area you are talking about--I like that too, very much. Our street is off of Echo Bend (right off of Lake Woodlands Dr.) near Shadowbend Park. There are just two streets in there with LifeForms. It's kinda neat! I am so tickled about it. I will post pics soon!!
  14. Just wanted to let everyone know that we have a contract on a LifeForms in Cochran's Crossing! I am so excited I could tinkle
