"HOME AGAIN"

OUR APPEARANCE ON TEXAS COUNTRY REPORTER


We are so pleased to have the opportunity to appear on the Texas Country Reporter.  TCR is a Texas treasure for those who watch the show, and know the quality of their production and the fantastic storytelling they do. What a great honor to have our story told in such a beautiful fashion...it was an emotional experience for us to watch ourselves in relation to the devastation and recovery.

We were featured in the Bastrop Recovery Special Episode.  Here is a condensed version that appeared on KFDM, out of Beaumont, TX.

PUTTING A ROOF OVER OUR HEADS

IT TAKES LOVE, TIME & DEVOTION


For our 11th wedding anniversary, Robert called in the calvary and got me some roof framing... *he's so romantic* ....and sure knows the way to this girls heart! 




We found this scorched cedar tree on our property and have installed it as a support post for the valley boards in the roof framing. If you look closely, it has a gnarly face in it...beard and all.
