Today we had the privilege of meeting a Texas favorite, Bob Phillips, "The Texas Country Reporter."  In September we submitted our story to his production team and were contacted because our story was "very compelling".  They would like to document our progress several times as we move into the construction phase of our rebuilding efforts, and will include us in a TCR story!
  



They spent the day visiting with us and interviewing Robert about his efforts to harvest, mill and rebuild our home with our woods.  They filmed him felling a tree and working on our lumber at the mill. Mr. Phillips said that Robert was a great interview and a genuine character (ain't that the truth).  The Texas Country Reporter has been producing the show for 40 years; and as a native Texan and artist, it is a really cool honor to appear on the show.
