Walkway of Lights: A Christmas Tradition
Posted by gzaba3 under Uncategorized
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Drive into Marble Falls from the south and you can’t miss it. Thousands have been captivated by the sight of over two million Christmas lights reflecting off the still waters of Lake Marble Falls.
Each year, countless volunteers come together to make this spectacle of lights. Guests wind through the lakeside path, lined by over one hundred illuminated sculptures; some traditional, some patriotic, and some just plain fun. Over the past two decades, people have flocked from all over to join in the holiday spirit of the community.
Admission is free, although donations are accepted. It is the generous donations from guests that allows the display to grow each year.
Weather permitting, the walkway is open from 6 to 10 p.m. nightly through January 1st. From Highway 281 south, take the first left after crossing the bridge, and follow the road to the left to Lakeside Park. From Highway 281 North, take a right on to Avenue H and continue straight into the park.
The Walkway’s gorgeous lakeside location also makes it just a short distance from Marble Falls’ Historic Main Street. Finish off that Christmas list, enjoy a fabulous meal, and stroll through the Walkway of Lights. It is sure to put you in the holiday spirit. Merry Christmas!
Follow the links for more information about this great tradition.

Marble Falls Restaurant: Smith Brothers Bar-B-Que
Posted by gzaba3 under For Buyers, For Sellers, Marble Falls, Regional News
Anyone who says you can™t find good, down-home cooking anymore must not have been to the new Smith Brothers Bar-B-Que restaurant in Marble Falls.
As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by the friendly faces of the cooks themselves, who just so happen to also be the owners. Their hand-written menu boasts a handful of choices of meats and sides, all personal specialties of the owners, right down to the homemade barbecue sauce. However, from personal experience, you may not even need the sauce. Every meat at Smith Brothers is so tender and moist, it practically melts in your mouth.
With such well-established barbecue places already in Marble Falls, the idea of opening a new one initially seems pretty risky, until you see the large wooden deck out front of Smith Brothers. Look beyond that and you will see the sand volleyball court, where the owners hope to start hosting tournaments and leagues. Washer pits and ice cold beer add to the traditional Southern atmosphere.
Smith Brothers is located at 806 Main Street in Marble Falls, Texas, and is open Wednesday through Sunday. Diners have the option of calling in orders ahead of time at 830-693-8082, but I personally recommend taking in the full experience and enjoying your meal there.
It is rare to encounter a restaurant that makes you feel at home as much as Smith Brothers Bar-B-Que. Every aspect of my experience there felt like a down-home, Southern picnic. With family recipes and friendly, personal service, Smith Brothers Bar-B-Que is what Texas barbecue is all about!

Day Trip: Blanco, Texas-The Deutsch Apple Bakery
Posted by gzaba3 under Blanco, For Buyers, For Realty Professionals, For Sellers, Regional News
If you’re from Horseshoe Bay and are looking for a good half-way place to meet someone from San Antonio, I suggest you meet in Blanco, Texas. Last week one of my San Antonio clients suggested we meet at The Deutsch Apple Bakery and it was fantastic. We enjoyed coffee and muffins. I couldn’t resist buying one of their small praline-dipped Apple Pecan Cakes to take home. My husband and I loved it. Two thumbs up for The Deutsch Apple Bakery, located at the corner of RR 165 and Loop 163, just east of the Blanco town square.

Posted by gzaba3 under For Buyers, For Realty Professionals, For Sellers, General Information
Michael J. Maher is a super star when it comes to building a referral based business. He shares practical ways to build relationships that lead to referrals in his new book, The Seven Levels of Communication.
I had the pleasure of attending Mega Agent Camp and observing Gary Keller, Co-founder and Chairman of the Board of Keller Williams Realty, interview Michael Maher and hearing firsthand how Maher receives hundreds of referrals each year. In a nutshell, Maher helps people every day. In return, people take the initiative to refer business to Maher.
Everyone can benefit by reading this book. It is a fun book to read filled with numerous examples of how to build a referral based business.

From Thursday, November 18 – Sunday, November 21, start your Christmas shopping at A Christmas Affair 2010 at the Palmer Events Center in Austin, Texas presented by The Junior League of Austin. This event is a terrific fundraiser for the Austin community. Tickets are $12 per guest.
