Congrats to the Austin Tennis Academy!
It turns out that the Austin Tennis Academy did indeed win the United States Tennis Association, Texas Section's Organization of the Year. Special kudos went to Deb for developing and submitting the award.
When the phone didn't ring while we were celebrating Mom, my, Meg's, Kate, and Claire's Bdays in Houston the other week, we thought the award went to someone else. It turns out the USTA just took a little more time to let everyone know about it.
Back to the fun of getting the house together to get on the market!

Unaccumulating...
It is simply amazing how much you can accumulate over an eight-year stretch. As we prepare to put our house on the market, we are actively creating piles... piles for storage, piles for Goodwill, and piles for the trash.
And then there's the outside with mulching the beds, pruning the trees and vines, picking up the leaves, and readying the beds for annuals.
Things are actually beginning to come together where we will have the house ready to put on the market in a few weeks.
No concrete yet being poured at the Windy Harbor property, but it may happen next week.
And so the fun goes!

A View From Windy Harbor
Things are in full swing over at the new property on Windy Harbor. The homesite area has been cleared as well as quite a bit of the cedar trees across the property which inflict "cedar fever" from their pollination period in January.
We had scaffolding put up so we could see what the view of Lake Travis would be from the location we picked for the house.
The view from the second story deck will have a slight view through the Mansfield dam spillway:
From the 3rd story deck, the view clears the trees and you can see the main basin of Lake Travis. Here is the view and a closer look:
Here's the location of our lot and a look at the plat map:
With the concrete expected to be poured some time next week, the fun is just beginning!
