About Polk County, TX

A Quick Tour Of Lake Livingston By Your Houston Real Estate Professional. After My Showing on Saturday I Went To Lake Livingston. I was only 3.5 miles from the exit for the park, so I thought I would go take some pictures.

I'm glad I went over there. It was nice to see water, after coming from Houston, Tomball and Magnolia where it is so dry that there have been wild fires in Magnolia.

Here is a nice picnic spot to watch the people out on the lake.

This is one of the boat ramps for public use.

Here is a hiking trail that crosses the road. Make sure and take a flash light with you if you are hiking, because there are no lights on the trails or roads.

These fishing piers are next to the store.

Wow, I'm glad I saw this poster, I never even thought about chains causing fires, but it is real important to be extra careful especially with all the wildfires.

Another lovely view of Lake Livingston. It was very peaceful at the lake.

After you caught all the fish, the park even has this place so you can clean them before you go home.

These screened in cabins look very comfy. They have a great water view.

This Texas State Park costs a minimal amount of money for the great times you could have here. What a lovely way to spend time with your friends or family.

If it is time to move your family, call or email me for a list of houses to choose from in your designated area.

Channel 13 Houston News reported tonight on yet another fire threatening Grimes County. It is reported that there are almost 24 fires burning in our Great State of Texas. The Piney Woods, my home area is reported to be one of the worst fires in the History of Texas. Trinity and Polk Counties are finally beginning to contain the fire that has officially destroyed nearly 18,200 acres. Thank heavens this fire is about 40% contained and there has been minimal loss of homes. I cry for our wildlife and beautiful forests.

Now, a neighboring County, Grimes County is fighting yet another blaze that has consumed more than 6100 acres and they are currently evacuating approximately 1800 residents. The American Red Cross has set up a shelter that will house up to 300 people at the Navasota High School if you are needing any assistance or need a place to stay.

If you have been asked to EVACUATE please DO. The SPCA of Houston has set up shelters for your small pets at Grimes Co. Auction Barn, and the other shelter is at the Grimes Co. Fairgrounds for livestock.

Please watch out for your State! Never throw a cigarette out a window. If you do anything involving fire, stay in and watch the area till you are totally certain the fire has been extinguished.

Our most recent fire in Grimes County was caused by a simple Bar-B-Q, a spark. and much wind.

I send all my prayers and wishes for a safe and effective containment. I am so proud of our Fire Fighters and the help that has poured in to Texas.

Pray for rain. Just look at the graph and you will begin to realize our need for rain. And, the 4th of July? 

No firecrackers please!

"Imported" Sunrise

Is this a "Good Morning" photo, or what?!

My father in law sent this to me. It is from his former student from SFA (Stephen F Austin University) Wiley Denson. My father in law writes: " You guys like sunsets. How about this SUNRISE sent by Wiley Denson from his Alaska home"

Wow, wow, wow. What a place. My father in law is just about to be 86 AND legally blind, and my mother in law is 83. She is a 3-time cancer survivor ( but that's a whole other blog). They travelled to Alaska last year. You would not believe what they continue to do---they are SO active.

Enjoy! I sure have
