We have a house in San Antonio that we renovated ourselves in a modern European style, with a contemplative nature garden and water feature.

We also have a 21-acre land near Bandera where we are working to restore a native ecosystem and create a sanctuary for wild birds and pollinators, and where we plan to live.
