Sharing Gruene.....

Hi y'all, wanted to share a few photo's I snapped this week-end. All of you that follow my blog know I love Gruene, down in the heart of Hill Country in Texas! It is a place of renewal, and recharge for me. Come along.. for a glimpse of a good time...
We always stay at The Mansion
LOML and I sat on the river bank...
Skipped rocks....
Gruene Hall was a buzz with Charlie Robinson in town for his birthday bash!
The Gruene water tower~ standing so proud over the town!
While down in Gruene, we walk the neighborhood - I always walk by this home and think how stinkin' cute the outside is-so thought I would snap a few photo's. This is Anne's home, although I have never met her, I did find a number for her to ask if I could post my photo's- of course she was so kind to agree.Let's take a peek together!
ALL the birdhouse's in the trees...

See the dove? Then back to The Mansion to relax, swing in the arbor... Isn't this fabulous?
If you ever want to stay at The Mansion, Cecil will help you find the perfect room for your anniversary, girl's week-end, etc... Be sure and tell him I sent ya! Hugs~Valarie

    I too love Gruene. I do not get there as much as I would like to. My brother was married there (in the Mansion) and it was a beautiful wedding. I love to stroll the shops. The antique shop is wonderful. It is where we got the lamps in my mother's living room. Blessings
