In 1963 Interstate 10 took our land and broke up our neighborhood. We moved our house to the northside at Leon Valley where it stayed until 2010. By then Mother and Dad had passed away and the new owner had to sell the land to the River Authority. The almost 100 yr house was moved again to near Castroville where it is today.
After graduation I went to Southwest Texas and got a BS in Home Economics. After a blind date in 1969, I married my husband Gary and we went to Little Rock,Ark for four years. Then he received a job in Texas and we moved to Temple,Tx where we have been for over41 yrs. (hard to believe). In 1986 I went to Southwestern and got an elementary education degree and started teaching middle school students who have kept me thinking and acting young?????
We are both retired now and seem to be going all the time. But it is nice to lesiurely get up and go have coffee in the garden and watch the hummingbirds and butterflies. Of course, there are many trips to Houston to see mu granddaughters.
I enjoyed all my school years and feel very fortunate to have such good memories. My elementary teachers made learning fun, junior high was having good times with friends, and even playing homeroom softball with skirts on for the girls. High school brought the Brigade and peprallies, ball games, halftimes, and Earl Able. Learning was fun then with no TAAS
Gardening, oil painting, reading, breakfast trips through Texas with my husband, tennis, and visiting with our daughter Brook, husband, Mike, and granddaughters, Kylie and Hanah.I also actively participate in the Sam Houston Chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas.

Oh no, it is with a very sad heart that I I hear about Vickiie's passing from this earth. She was a very special person and had a very interesting life. I truly enjoyed knowing her and going through the high school years with such an outstanding person. We will all miss you, Vickie. Love, Mary Ellen

Hope you had a very nice birthday. Enjoy your whole birthday week.
Happy Birthday, Pat. Hope you had a wonderful day.
It is with sad heart that I read of Cheryl's leaving of this world. I will always treasure my friendship that I had with her during our high school years and our participation in the Brigade. It was wonderful to read of the admiration her sons had for her and how she truly made it a special time for them as they grew up. Farrel my thoughts and prayers are with you. You definitely made a very wise choice when you married this special woman. My thoughts are also with all of your family.
Sharon was my dear friend; I am sorry to hear this news. I send great sympathy to her large family.
