Happy Valentine’s Day from Katy Texas 2012

To all my Family, Friends, Clients, Virtual friends, Veterans, Men and Women serving in the Armed Services, Real Estate Friends, Neighbors and Active Rain Members

Happy Valentine’s Day 2012 as this is a day o remind ourselves to love others

Remember to tell and show the ones you love how much they mean to you. We need to do this every day we can.

Be kind, gentle and give to folks who are less fortunate than you are

Take time to smell the flowers and enjoy beauty as life goes by so quickly.

And always remember there is someone above..

As I have said in the past on specific days, Let all of us pray in our own special way (or give off positive thoughts) for all the poor, homeless, sick, home bound folks, abused women and children, mentally challenged folks especially the children, those who are persecuted, torn by war or suffer from some type of prejudice that all of these folks will have better days ahead during the remainder of 2012. We all need to pledge to help some of these folks in any manner we have the ability and resources to do.

Have a great day and evening!

Continuing Book sale at local Katy Library

There is an ongoing book sale at the Cinco Ranch Branch Library being held by the Friends of the Library group. The sale is inside the library which is located at 2620 Commercial Blvd Katy Texas. Book prices are extremely reasonable with children’s books priced at $.50 to $1.00 per book and adult books priced from $.50 to $2.00 per book. There are also a large selection of DVD’s and CD’s and these have various different prices.

If anyone has books lying around and not being used, the library will take donations of gently used fiction and children’s books. However, they do not want textbooks, magazines or encyclopedias. You can drop off donations at the library (barrel inside the library is provided for these donated books) and at Tradition Bank on the Grand Parkway in Katy.

All proceeds from the book sale will support all the great programs the Fort Bend Branch Library system is offering to local residents.

I know I personally like to hold a real book and not look at another type of computer screen. I already spend way too many hours every day staring at a lap top, or IPhone or IPad screen.

Saturday February 11, 2012 was the 4th Wine Social of the Season for the Grand Lake Ladies Club and The Cinco Ranch Ladies Club; the 1st for the year 2012. As this was so close to Valentines Day, our hostess Claire Wakeman decided to make it a couple’s Wine Tasting.

Claire is an awesome hostess; she has had other wine socials and had a terrific Holiday party. People were asked to wear something red as we were celebrating Valentines Day.

The couples were asked to bring 2 bottles of their favorite champagne or wine and a small appetizer to share. There was so much good food and wine. My favorite appetizers were the chicken meatballs, stuffed grape leaves and the lamb chops that the host made on the grill. They were so good. My favorite wines were a Mumm Sparkling Red Wine, Veuve Clicquot and a South African Cabernet. They were many great wines there it was hard to choose. Some one cleared away the South African Wine Cabernet before I could get a hold of it for more specifics as to what winery it came from.

This was a really fun tasting with many people and lots to eat and drink.

Tired of same old Valentine’s Day Celebration – Check out Drafthouse in Katy Texas

I heard about this event and thought this is definitely a unique experience to attend for celebrating Valentine’s Day with your spouse or special significant other. The Mason Park Alamo Drafthouse Cinema will show “The Princess Bride”. The showing is scheduled to start at 7:00 A.M. and Alamo Drafthouse is located at 531 Mason Road (in the back of the strip center) Katy Texas.

Right now you are probably asking yourself why this guy is saying that going to a Rob Reiner movie and not a very good picture at that would be so unique an experience for Valentine’s Day. In addition to the movie, the Drafthouse is serving what appears to be a very delicious dinner and pairing with red and white wine. The wine varietals the owners are pleased to introduce to the world are called by them "The Bottle of Wits", which features what they call a “Inconceivable Cab” and the “As You Wish White” wine under their own label. These wines will only be available at Alamo Drafthouse during the remainder of 2012.

If you want more information about tickets for this special event and cost try their web site. Take your favorite valentine to watch a movie while dining on an excellent dinner and drinking a brand new wine varietal.

What are your favorite romantic movies and songs?

I was sitting here in the office wondering what to write about; writer’s block I guess. I was looking through several Katy magazines and nothing grabbed me, until I saw an article about the top 10 most romantic movies and songs. I thought as it is close to Valentines Day I was wondering why not ask the Active Rain members what songs or movies do they think are the most romantic?

The article had 10 movies and some honorable mentions and some songs. I am not sure I agree with the list on both accounts. It sounds like they just asked the people working for the magazine; they said they had a tough time narrowing it down.

I think that sometimes a song or a movie does not necessarily have to be romantic it just reminds you of a special time in your life that makes your heart sing and puts a smile on your face. So, I thought I would ask the Active Rain Members “What are your favorite romantic movies and songs?”
