Welcome Back!

Welcome back! It has been a long time since I’ve written. So much has happened! Let me start with our E-Zine. Some time in April it locked up the entire server and froze forever. I bet you thought we just forgot to up date it. Unfortunately, we just got too much information on it, too many hits and it froze. Then, no matter what my great web master tried and the server people did, they could not recover it. The only thing we could do is buy a new system and have it rebuilt and that was a very time consuming process.
So as we sat and waited for the E-Zine to be built we watched the economy deteriorate. Loans dried up, real estate agents, mortgage officers, title companies, an entire industry slowed to a crawl putting many folks out of work. These people were the first to start losing their homes as they scrambled to find other employment to feed their families. Home owners in Texas weren’t as badly affected at first because there weren’t as many bad loans written in Texas as other places but the economy slowly began changing here as well and gas prices began to go up.
Next the Presidential election began to consume our lives and again the Nation slowed even more as we wait to see who will be our next President. Then in the mists of all this came the “Economic Reform Package”. Will it save us? Who knows but I do know that the real estate agents, mortgage officers and so on left in this industry are learning great lessons in fiduciary responsibility for their clients and the economy.
So, now as we sit and wait on the economy, the election and things to change, we are using the time to make big changes within our E-Zine and our office. The new “Texas Legacy Country E-Zine” is up and running and though we still have a few things to change, we have a great line up of experts joining our team. Watch for their pictures and articles to start appearing on the home page. They will teach and entertain us about things we need to know about everything from farming, land care and animal issues to insurance, mortgage and economy issues. I’ll continue telling you about farms, ranches and great recreational land I’ve had the privilege to visit and even throw in a few pocket listings here and there. The economy will change for the better and when it does we'll be here bigger and better than ever.
I’m really excited about the growth of our E-Zine and can’t wait to see who joins us next. I hope you will continue on this journey with me and see where it takes us next.
