Dont FORGET…..that Daylight Saving Time begins this weekend!
Be sure to move your clocks forward one hour before you go to bed on Saturday night, March 10.
It’s also a good time to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors.
And while you’re there, don’t forget to test each detector.
Testing the alarm is easy; all you have to do is push the test button until the alarm sounds.
Cheryl and I hope everyone has a safe and
Fun-Filled Spring Break 2012!

For the third straight week, fixed-rate mortgages inched down, reaching new lows. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged a record low of 4.01 percent this week while the 15-year fixed-rate set a new record of 3.28 percent, Freddie Mac reports in its weekly mortgage market survey. In Western areas, 30-year rates moved even lower, averaging 3.95 percent, Freddie reports.
"Fixed mortgage rates fell to all-time record lows this week following the Federal Reserve's announcement of its Maturity Extension Program and additional purchases of mortgage-backed securities,” Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, said in a statement.
Here’s a closer look at rates for the week ending Sept. 29:

2319 Monarch Terrace Dr, Katy, TX 77494 – !!!REDUCED AGAIN!!!
I have just reduced the listing price on a Beautiful “Energy Efficient” 3-Story 5 Bedroom home in Firethorne! It is now reduced to $343,000 and it is loaded. It has a huge yard which seems big enough to put in a pool and still be able to land a helicopter. This home has space everywhere plus a 3-car garage.
For a home that is not yet 2 years old and it is listed for $83 per sq ft., you have to believe that this home will not last long. Come take a look and see what I mean!

Wikipedia Defines – The Dog Days of Summer ” (Latin: diēs caniculārēs) are the hottest, most sultry days of summer. In the northern hemisphere, they usually fall between early July and early September. The actual dates vary greatly from region to region, depending on latitude and climate. Dog Days can also define a time period or event that is very hot or stagnant, or marked by dull lack of progress. The name comes from the ancient belief that Sirius, also called the Dog Star, in close proximity to the sun was responsible for the hot weather.
Well, that definition clearly details our current hot spell. It also explains my lack of progress on anything outside while the sun is looming overhead. I can’t even seem to run the kids to the mall without lathering them up with sunblock. Don’t even get me started on how much I have had to water my lawn just to keep it alive. Sometimes I think my water bill is going to end up costing as much as it does to maintain as the Schlitterbahn. Given the recent Cinco Ranch HOA alert for water conservation, this crazy heat may get even more interesting before it ends.
On June 1, 2011 – As a result of the extremely dry weather and hot temperatures, the City of Katy requested that all water customers voluntarily do their part to conserve water by practicing minimum water use and voluntary lawn sprinkling restrictions. The City is pumping approximately 4.5 million gallons per day. This is approximately a 50 percent increase over the water use per day for the month of May. Residents and businesses are asked to conserve water by irrigating before 7:00 a.m. and after 7:00 p.m. Also, everyone was asked to please check for any water leaks around your residence or business.
We have all been asked to do our part to conserve water by practicing minimum water and sprinkling restrictions. Given that there is no rain or cooler weather in our near future, I may have to do a rain dance before long. Until then, conserve, conserve, conserve…..and melt!
