Wish you all the very best in your new abode. May it be as colourful as any place on earth and bring you joy and happiness.

Congrats Dave & Trish. Your house is beautiful, the Austin stone (as they called it when we lived in that area) is one of my favorite building materials. I know you will love that area - we did!! Be happy

congratulations!!!!! it is wonderful to see you following your dreams.
you are going to have great fun learning to garden in texas. may i suggest when visiting your barber and hairdresser that you bring home hair, or have them save you some. it is suppose to keep the deer away. it sure is a cheap way, if it works.
i will be glad to explore my plants to find out what is deer proof and send you along some when we get out from under the snow here. :)

Are we all invited for a visit? Plenty of space to set up camp. Congrads on a beautiful spread!!

Love the house!! Boy, you two
can keep secrets. I know you
will adjust to all the hot weather gardening, best part is
having a longer gardening season & shorter winter.

Congrats

Congratulations Dave and Trish, you Americans certainly know how to live in style!!

HI Neighbors Dave and Trish! Congratulation!! What a beautiful house you both got!

I'll bet your new place is "Home" already. Very pretty house. I'd sure spend lots of time on the porch/deck. I'm glad you are moved and safe. Guess you can tell I'm not a traveler. I'm sure you will miss Tennessee, but each move has it's rewards. Good luck in the future.

Good luck for the new house/ranch. Did any plants move with you? :)

Wow! What a great place! Look at all the fruit trees :)

Best of luck to you guys....what fun!

When you are settled, please post your planting plans.
If I have something that you are looking to have I would like to share.

Congrats on your move. My youngest daughter used to live in the Dallas/FW area & I loved visiting her. I really loved TX & would move there in a blink of an eye if my DH would move with me, but that will never happen. lol

Anyway, enjoy your new home & it really looks like a super place. I'll have to look on the map & see where Kerrville is. Envy you that windmill. Hope it works & pumps water for you to use on your garden & plants.

The friendliest people seem to be living in Texas. Every time I go there I wonder if maybe I should relocate as you all have done. 4 acres to garden on? Can I buy an acre from you? And thanks for the pictures; it's lets us know you better. Here's to good health and good living!

I was so relieved to read that the photos were taken before the move. I really was feeling like a slob thinking you had lace curtains at the windows in just days, and the house was all decorated and lovely. I was always super organized in moving, but still managed only the basic setting up for a few days. Decor was a never ending chore, often never really starting. I envied my military friends who actually did get the curtains down and every throw rug in place, but never managed to do it, despite numbered, color coded boxes. So, after reading Dave's post again, I feel better. Don't tell me if you really do already have it all ready for the photogs.

That's what I thought, too, Aimee! I thought "why did they have a jet ski? Were they that close to water?" LOL

Just had a chance to look at all the pictures of your new home and they are fantastic. Course the first thing I had to look at was the kitchen, then went from there. Just love the porch on the house with ceiling fans and all out there. How wonderful that will be sitting out there this summer and enjoying a nice cold beer. The windmill on the property is great. What a wonderful trellis that will make for a climber.
Happy for you both, and again, congratulations on your new home and good to have you back in Texas again.

Congratulations Dave and Trish, Looked at all your great pictures and see that you will have lots of dirt to dig in. I would offer to send you some daylilies but they sure aren't deer proof. I have a picture of my yard just after it was fenced in with two big beautiful bucks eating daylilies about 50 feet from me. Best wishes and glad you are back where you wanted to be. i guess after moving so many times you were somewhat used to it. I lived 50 years in my other place before I moved. Had 2 auctions and still had too much stuff!! rutholive (Donna)

Congrats! May your new home provide you with many blessings and fine memories!

Actually, a jetski is a nice toy to have in that area. Contrary to popular opinion, Texas has many lakes, rivers and ponds, and you are almost never far from a water playground of some sort unless you're waaaay out there. Even the Del Rio area has a big lake! So I hope Dave and Trish were able to negotiate the toys in with the house. But be careful, they can be dangerous!

Congratulations! May good health, good luck and good friends always fill your new home!

WELCOME HOME!THERE AINT NO PLACE LIKE TEXAS! We feed the deer outside our fence with the horses and they kinda know where they are welcomed and not.Our dogs and horses dont even flinch when the deer are around.We all kinda live together very well.Sometimes we have the teenage deer that like to live on the edge and will give you a run for your sanity,however they do grow up!!(They have this game of running into your car as you leave your house)!Just feed them and they dont seem to eat your plants. Good Luck and God Bless

Weedlady, my DH knows only to well what those adolescent deer can do to your car.............on darted across the highway just as he was going by at 70mph.......lucky for hubby it glanced off. Some fender damage......never found the deer......so please do watch the roads.

I have thought and thought about what to post here. I am so happy you are finally back in Texas and thrilled to be there. I am really sad you are that much further away from me. I am so glad I got to meet you both in Tennesee because you are way too far away now! LOL Your house and land are absolutely beautiful! Now, Dave, fess up, did you leave the white siberians behind??? :) Trish, get to work on that plant and seed list and let me know what I can send you. I know you will have a great time working with that empty slate and that you will also have it decorated in no time. I wish you all the very best in your new home. You are two of the nicest and sweetest people that I have ever met and I know you will do well, anywhere you are, together. Welcome home. :)

Hi Dave & Trish!!

Boy, are you sneaky! Congratulations, it's a beautifull home. I am a little disappointed (for selfish reasons)that you left TN, I was hoping to meet you guys in person. We just made a deposit on a piece of land in Kentucky just a couple of hours drive from where you used to live (see photo). Well, maybe we'll get to TX someday!

Wish you all the best.
