The Summer Cycle: from a teen's perspective

The Summer Cycle: from a teen's perspective

Many of your have written wanting to hear more from this talented young author.  To recap, The author, Sarah (13), is part of an incredibly wonderful family I have had the privilege to work with as their Realtor.

The last time we were with Sarah and her family, we were in the Butler's Pantry (see previous post   "8 People in a Butler's Pantry).  Now we're on to Summer Vacation.  Have you ever wondered what teenagers really think about summer?  Here's your chance to find out.  Enjoy!

The Summer Cycle

 By Sarah Landsman

 Months, weeks, days, hours, minutes... we all count down till the summer. Oh that glorious time we've dreamed about since September! When the bell rings, the entire student body lets out a hundred sighs and ecstatic screams! Then, at long last, it's the time we all have waited for. Summer.

Starting from the day we get out of school, our lives turn into a medley of truly cliched summer activities. Perhaps it's Dad barbecuing outside, or swimming with our siblings under the blazing summer sun. However you spend those first couple of weeks, it's summer all the same.

Now, having had a few summers in my life, I know how it goes.  The thrill wears off.  And when late July rolls into August, we start lying to ourselves. We tell ourselves that we really don't want school to come back around. That we hate the thought of seeing our teachers or having to do schoolwork.  Some of us manage to convince ourselves that this is true, but we know it's not. And when you start getting wrapped up in last minute summer activities, back to school shopping, and trying to jump-start your brain before school, the days creep in without you noticing. Sooner than you expected or wanted, the first day of the school year is here. You really don't want to admit it but, you know you are glad. You're happy to be back.  Everyone is.

 Waterfront, Less than 1.5 hours from Houston for 220K!  R U Kidding?

 Location, Location, Location! 1. Great deal on the waterfront. Deep water on the river channel. Walkway to the water and dock. 2. Located on the end of a cul-de-sac. 3. VERY close to open water on Lake Livingston.

Great yard with this 2 Bedroom/2 baths and 2 Half Baths. Amazing game room with Charleston numbered pool table and wet bar with views and access to the water. New Aircon filter and solar screens. Garage and carport. Workshop area in the garage with BR.

Located on a cul-de-sac, last house and next to a bird sanctuary.  It is Paradise!  1984 sq ft, extensive decking in the front and back of the house. There is even a covered patio leading out to the water from the game room downstairs.

Imagine, 5:00 Friday.  Leave Houston, and all of the worries behind and head to the lake to your beautiful lake house.  Fish, boat, or just hang out and enjoy the peaceful, natural setting.  Oh, and the homeowners fees....$100--PER YEAR!

Come, take a look.  You'll see why this just might be the lakehouse you've been looking for.

Does Your Garden relax you like it relaxes me?

Does Your Garden relax you like it relaxes me?

Wow.  Here I am on a Saturday night listening to Andrea Bocelli and looking out on my garden.  I am such a geek, but I love it.  It is so peaceful. The colors...the greens, the purples and the reds.  So gorgeous.  My Passion Vines are really taking off and are creating a beautiful natural arbor from one trellis to the next on some fishing line that I strung to allow the vines to travel to the neighboring trellises.

And, today, I splurged.  I bought a $54 mister.  I still can't believe I did it.  But I really want to sit out in the garden without a heat stroke.  The sun is now filtering through a canopy of East Texas Pines.  The peppers are perky, the rosemary an olfactory sensation unlike any other and the basil.  Don't get me started on the basil....mmmmmMagnifico!.  The strains of the beautiful Italian songs bellow from the speakers as the sun gently imparts its last light sculpture on the back fence.  This is my kind of Saturday night.

Life is good.  Gardens make it more colorful.
