City to return foreclosed lots to market

The Council removed the lots last November from the Texas Communities Group website after receiving and rejecting bids from would-be buyers who failed to submit home plans that followed guidelines for the lots’ sizes and locations. The Council also voted to combine contiguous lots into one parcel to allow would-be homebuilders to construct larger homes.

She is a gifted artist who has traveled all over the world, painting beauty as she saw it, an easel dug into the sand on a beach someplace or perched at the top of a hill overlooking a quaint Italian village.

She is up in years now, but you wouldn’t guess it when you watch her bebop around the church, a smile always on her face. Enthusiasm seems to come easy for her, and it is contagious – her encouragement and her effortless laugh brighten the spaces she inhabits.
