Sunday, March 30, 2008. March Madness is in the air. Somehow Leo knows that Aunt Tres is a cat person. Life is good in Tobin Hill with Bill Miller Barbecue and Blue Bell. Trim work on the stairs made Frank, the floor man's, job complete. Frank, the Floor Man. Bo helped several neighbors with the demolition of a nearby house. Finish Carpenter, Charlie, has rebuilt 4 of the 8 windows in the "Phase 2" rooms . There is much window replacement to be done. Adding chair rail trim in the Mud Room. What can I say?

Tuesday, October 28, 2008. Next time they're in Texas there will be three! Andy and Bethany called from Michigan with the good news that another Brockman baby is on the way! Due date is end of May or first of June so if you do the math, you'll see that Baby Brockman may be able to claim some Texas heritage! A cousin for Lily Belle! Uncle Andy got some practice in during his summer stay in San Antonio. Aunt Bethany will be a great mom! Proud parents to be and we are very proud grandparents to be as well!

Wednesday, January 07, 2009. Four Generations, Family, Friends, and Forty Two-Our Full House! Pat's parents, Larry and Virgie, came to visit in early November and guess who was the star of the show? Lily acted like she knew they were special people in her life and they are! What a privilege it was to spend time together and Buck and Katy were so generous to drop her off for extra downtown days. Coffee on the porch was more fun than ever while they were here. Miss Lily was the final decoration needed to m...

Sunday, January 10, 2010. Catching up in the new year. I feel like I am learning how to post all over again! This rusty old "tin man" needs a little oil to do this smoothly. Bo worked so hard and accomplished some huge jobs in 2009! He's telling folks that we are nearly in "maintenance mode"! His biggest project last year was making 39, yes 39! Wooden window screens from "scratch". Besides improving the appearance of the house, they will help us stay cool next summer. Stay tuned-more to come on this post.

Sunday, March 08, 2009. It's Been a Long Time - 1Q 2009 Update. No, we haven't fallen off the edge of the earth. The old house is still a "work in progress." Several of you have heard me say that it took me a few months to realize that this was not a project. It is a lifestyle. How about those "Stars and Stripes" suspenders? WARNING - You need a tetanus shot to even look at the picture of the small upstairs bathroom as we found it in September, 2006. The "Nasty Bathroom" we found in place -. Continue to ...

Friday, May 16, 2008. There is more to life than this old house. Four Generations of Brockmans - starring Lily. Mom and two sons on Mothers' Day. Lily in her first "church" clothes - also on Mothers' Day. Phase 2 Rooms - Green for Guest BR and Gold for Office. Phase 2 Room Windows sans trim. If you were a Gremlin under the house, would you mess with this guy? Inspecting the tape and float job. Painting the Phase 2 Office. Dad and Virginia stayed with us. That means that we have a lot to catch up on.

Sunday, February 24, 2008. Floors, glorious floors! Welcome to the Entry Way - with newly finished floors (the spots are from the lens of our new camera-not part of the floor). The floor that did look like this - -. Now looks like this! The Dining Room, Parlor, and Entry Way have the best wood - maple. The Butler's Pantry "Before" Floor. Master Closet (below) in its previous condition did not win any awards. Didn't the new floor help? With new shelving installed, the Master Closet is fully functional.
