クリアレイク付近にローンスター博物館という航空博物館があります。Labor Dayの3連休に攻とスーザンはザックを連れて行きました。Labor Dayということもあり特別に入場料$10 + ホットドッグと子供用ゲーム付きでした!博物館の中には、たくさんの種類の飛行機があり、多くのものは寄付されたものです。中には、個人が所有している飛行機もあり、順番に閲覧できるようになっています。各飛行機にはそれぞれの歴史などが細かく説明されており、私も一つずつ読んで勉強になりました!(歳をとっている証拠でしょうか…苦笑)攻とザックはフライトシミュレーターを体験し、とても楽しんでいました。スーザンは新しいミヌーティコーヒーショップを見に行き、多くのスタッフに会いました。こちらの博物館に是非言って見たいという方は、10月15日にHanger Bashというイベントに参加することを検討してみてはいかがでしょうか?バーベキュー、巷有名なセントアーノルドビール、ライブバンド、サイレントオークションや、博物館だけではないイベントも沢山あります!詳細とチケットについては、以下のウェブサイトからご覧ください。https://lonestarflight.org/hangarbash2022/
There is an impressive Flight Museum near Clear Lake called the Lone Star Flight Museum. Over the Labor Day Weekend, Susan and Koh brought Zach to check it out. The Museum had a $10 entrance fee special with free hot dogs and kids games on Labor Day. Inside the museum was a display of many actual airplanes, many donated to the museum, some owned by private owners and on rotation for viewing. There are excellent signs with explanations to teach us about the airplane’s facts and history. I must be getting old because I actually read them and thought they were pretty interesting! Koh and Zach did the flight simulator and they loved it. Susan went to check out the brand new Minuti Coffee Shop, where she met several of the museum managers who were stepping in to run the busy coffee shop during the Labor Day rush. If you are considering a visit, consider going on October 15 for their Hangar Bash event. They will have a cook team on site smoking BBQ and serving local craft Saint Arnold Beer, a live band, silent auction, and full museum access.

The Houston real estate market continues to soften. The lastest data shows us week 32 of 2022, from Aug 9-15. The number of new listings on the market went down 10.7% compared to the same week last year. This drop marks the third consecutive weekly decline. Not only did the number of new listings to the market decline, but the number of homes that went under contract also declined, by a very large 30%. The number of sellers who tried to sell their home but then pulled the home off the market because they could not sell them increased 13.7% from the same time last year. The number of closings were down nearly 20%, the number of showings was down 7.4%, and even the number of views on HAR.com went down by 33.8%. This tells us that the market has slowed way down. People are looking less, sellers are putting their homes on the market less, realtors are showing homes less, and homes are selling less. We think this might be a good chance for buyers to get back in to the market and try again to buy!
