THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT TEXAS
by Nancy Nold

 It will be hot and humid.  Average summer temperatures are mid to high 90’s. 

Don’t worry – we have air conditioning.  All rental cars will have air conditioning.  Our outdoor activities will include misters, gator ade and lots of ice.

There will be a lot of sun – from 7:30 am to 8:30 pm. 

Please bring sun screen.  We have lots of shade trees, a big shaded porch; however…

Texas weather is unpredictable.

We do not live in a flood plain.

Texas has lots of small mosquitoes.

 Well, you will be at the Lake.  Please bring repellant.

There is poison ivy on the property. We will spray aggressively in the spring to eliminate this problem, however...  We do have ointment and “anti-itching” pills.
There are no snakes or ticks. Yes, it is country.
There will be wild flowers & fresh mowed lawn.  Allergy suffers beware.
The property is fenced and gated.  Bring your companion pets if you wish.  Our old dog Pugsley gets along with all animals.
Texans dress casual in summer. Even Church Goers occasionally wear the Hawaiian shirt with their Dockers.
Shoes are required at all times. Despite our best efforts there are grass burrs and broken glass in the lawn.
