Round Rock just got a Sprouts Farmers Market. I had never heard of this chain before but apparently they have around 30+ stores around the nation. I had to go check it out because there is nothing better than home grown tomatoes and onions to name a few.

Sprouts sells organic and natural items from vitamines, veggies, meats and even frozen foods. I was very impressed when I went to check it out. They buy from Central Texas farmers and that is a great opportunity for everyone. In addition, they didn't hike the price up like some of the other natural stores. I must say it is a nice addition to Round Rock and its residents.

As a Senior Real Estate Specialist, I try very hard to keep up with who and what is going on in Sun City, Georgetown, Tx. That statement in itself is exhausting because to keep up with this Fun Filled Action packed community is next to impossible. The residents out there are swamped with things to do.

Anyway, getting to the point...I saw that they are having Dive-In Night on Thursday, Aug. 27th. Why do I care? Here is the great part. You bring your bathing suit, beverage, picnic and accessories, you walk the red-carpet to the outdoor pool (which is huge by the way) and you watch a movie on a big screen. Isn't that awesome? You keep cool, you enjoy other people and you watch a movie as if you were at a Drive-In.

NOW, heres the funny part (drum roll please), the movie is JAWS. I don't know about you but that is funny right there!!

I just came from Sun City, Georgetown, Tx and while I was only going to check on my listing. I ended up staying all afternoon. I drove up in the driveway at 241 Crockett Loop (my listing) and out came the next door neighbors, who bought the home from me when they moved in from California.

Once the across the street neighbors saw us jibber jabbering, well out they came to visit as well. This went on for several hours, people walking, jogging, biking all stopped to say HEY and what a great time I had meeting all you guys!! Next time I will bring the wine because we had so much FUN!

Now, I don't know if any of you do this, but I am going to start doing it more often. It was better than an Open House for people just driving around. Invite the neighbors and let them do the selling for you - they all know other people who want to move to the area. IT WAS GREAT!! So, next weekend, I think I will grab Rachelle (another Sky Realtor who likes to work Fun City) and we are going to have the neighbors over for wine. woohoo.

Rachelle was so excited about it, she made a video which I have included the link to - it's great.

Round Rock, Tx Dell Diamond, home of the Round Rock Express is expanding the stadium by adding a luxury addition whcih will include suites for baseball fans to attend what will be called the Intel club. It is an improvement of approx. $3.1 million. It also includes an elevator, additional shaded seating and an larger press box on the third floor. Construction should be completed before the next season which begins in April.

Now, the reason I am even blogging about this is because it is an marketing opportunity for me to get back in front of my clients. Taking them a couple of tickets to the Round Rock Express game sure makes an impression....The Dell Diamond stadium is located at 3400 E. Palm Valley (or what the locals call Hwy. 79).
