Pigs and Pugs?
It’s actually National Pigs in a Blanket day but in honor of my little friend Zeke who is sadly is no longer with us I’ve decided to change it to Pugs in a Blanket Day!
P.S. That is not Zeke in the picture as I never saw him sit still for that long.

Amazon in Fort Worth
Since my wonderful clients just closed on a home on Amazon I thought this was apropos…
Amazon is creating 1,000 full-time jobs in North Texas with a one million-sf fulfillment center.
Initially planned for Haslet, the new facility will be constructed at 15201 Heritage Pkwy. and will ship small items like books, electronics, and toys.
This will be the company’s sixth fulfillment center in the state. Amazon currently employs over 8,000 full-time hourly workers at facilities in Haslet, Coppell, southern Dallas, and Schertz. Another facility is underway in San Marcos.

San Jacinto Day
On this day in 1836, Texas forces won the battle of San Jacinto, the concluding military event of the Texas Revolution. Facing General Santa Anna’s Mexican army of some 1,200 men encamped in what is now southeastern Harris County, General Sam Houston disposed his forces in battle order about 3:30 p.m., during siesta time.
The Texans’ movements were screened by trees and the rising ground, and evidently Santa Anna had no lookouts posted. The Texan line sprang forward on the run with the cries “Remember the Alamo!” and “Remember Goliad!” The battle lasted but eighteen minutes. According to Houston’s official report, the casualties were 630 Mexicans killed and 730 taken prisoner. Against this, only nine of the 910 Texans were killed or mortally wounded and thirty were wounded less serious.

April 19th Events in History
1775 The American Revolution begins
1861 First blood in the Civil War
1897 First Boston Marathon run
1993 Branch Davidian compound burns
1995 Truck bomb explodes in Oklahoma City and this day is National Oklahoma City Bombing Commemoration Day
And April 19th is NATIONAL HANGING OUT DAY. I got all excited thinking this meant like hanging out at Mac’s or somewhere with friends. Oh no, it has to do with hanging laundry out on a clothesline! What’s up with that? But to go with this it’s also National Garlic Day and Will Rogers was once quoted speaking of Gilroy, California known as the Garlic Capital of the World“…the only place in America where you can marinate a steak just by hanging it out on a clothesline.” What a great correlation to all this stuff.

Remodeling projects that don’t pay of
It’s surprising how many remodeling projects don’t pay for themselves when you eventually sell your home. In other words, the value added to your sale price is less than the price tag of the remodel.
In fact, the majority of home updates and additions fall into that category, according to the 2016 Cost Vs. Value Report from the National Association of REALTORS® and Remodeling magazine.
Even so, there are many good reasons to remodel your home. You may get more than your money’s worth of enjoyment from functional and aesthetic improvements to your home. Also, outdated kitchens, bath, and decor can make it difficult to attract buyers. Perhaps most important to remember, though, is that reports like this deal with estimates, averages, and assumptions. The value of a remodeling project may have different results in different cities or neighborhoods and may vary from one type or price of home compared to another.
You can get a general idea of the most and least valuable remodeling projects in Texas from the infographic below, but to really dig into the details of how a remodeling decision might affect your property’s value and attractiveness to buyers, talk to a Texas REALTOR®.
