This weekend, I enjoyed exploring neighboring Terrell, Texas with my camera and a few folks from around the area.
We took part in a photo walk, organized by Brian Stout, which is essentially a bunch of people with an interest in photography get together to walk around an area and take photos.
There are no set rules and no certain skill sets required — just enjoy the views and snap away with your camera. Continue reading Weekend photo walk
Well, we’ve moved… in case you missed that bit of news.
We’ve moved to Travis Ranch in Forney, Texas (aka Kaufman County Municipal Utility District No. 6).
It’s a beautiful, growing neighborhood, that’s part of a 1,600-2000 (depending on which news article or website you’re looking at) acre master planned community.
The neighborhood offers several great amenities, including an inline skating hockey rink, a pool, splash park and several playgrounds.
There are also plans for retail development and a marina to be added at some point in the future — just haven’t found a good site for detailed information on those additions.
We’ve already enjoyed the pool a few times, as well as walking the “trail” along the main roadway. I’m sure all the amenities, including the neighborhood elementary school (which is less than .5 a mile from our home) will be even more beneficial once the twins arrive.
But me being nosy like I am, I’ve been trying to find out as much as I can about the HOA, the full plans for the development and the Municipal Utility District we’re a part of. Continue reading Travis Ranch HOA
As we’ve moved to the northwest corner of Kaufman County, the search has begun for a new community of faith to take part in.
Google has been helpful as we’ve begun our search, but I thought I’d make a listing of churches in Kaufman County and areas surrounding Forney (Sunnyvale, Heath, Rockwall, Talty, etc) similar to what I had in Ellis County.
If by chance I’ve left off any churches, feel free to drop me a note and I’ll be sure to add it ASAP.
