WHERE HAVE I BEEN?!?!?!?

Heidy-Ho, Blogging Buddies!!!

MAN!!!  What the heck has been going on?!?  Suddenly I return to the blog to post about an interesting event... and find it's been nearly six weeks since I posted!!  I do apologize!

I left you knowing I was scheduled to take the Real Estate exam (again!) on 4/11/2018.  Well, obviously, to those who have heard from me since, I managed to get through it.  I am now a Sales Agent with Coldwell-Banker, Apex, Realtors in Waco.  Great office.  Large.  Some really nice people who have been very kind to me.  I am absolutely happy to be there!  Now I am trying to learn a new MLS system, a new Office system, and all of the changes that occurred during my real estate absence!  YikeS!!  It has been daunting... but it is all slowly making sense.

At any rate... I will fill you in on more of that later.  The reason I came to post today was because of the very cute little "Fourth Annual Woodway Roadrunner Festival" we attended on May 19th.  While we love our new area, we don't know a whole lot about it... yet.  Still have a lot of exploring to do.  But this gave us the opportunity to check out what folks enjoy here in this little community.  There were plenty of folks attending and more coming in for the bands and fireworks!  We left before all of that.  So... let's just look at a few pictures I snapped while there.

It is named the Roadrunner Festival... probably because there are a plethora of roadrunners hanging around!  We have seen multiples in our own front and back yards!  The spousal-unit actually had to stop his vehicle on a major, 4-lane road to WAIT for the FOUR roadrunners that were meandering across it!  Yep.  They are here.



There were food vendors, crafts vendors, and the stage for the bands later that day.



 





There were LOTS of "kid" things to do!  Some of them looked like a lot of fun... but we held ourselves back.  :)





All-in-all, it was good fun.  We got some BBQ sandwiches (good) and some fresh "squoze" lemonade (got mine with fresh blueberries... YUM!) before sitting down under a large canopy with big tables to enjoy them.  Some folks joined our table and we had a lively and interesting conversation with them before saying goodnight.

Later that night, the fireworks literally roared!!  We are probably not more than a mile from the area where the festival was held... and it was plenty loud!  I'm sure everyone there enjoyed it.

So... forgive me for the delay.  I honestly will try to do better!

Until next post...
