Hi - and Welcome to the new Pecan Grove Plantation community website. It's a bit "Retro" - but hey! I'm an old guy.
NOTE:
As in the past, the site is maintained on a volunteer basis - So, if you would like to contribute any content or elbow grease, please drop me a line.

Questions/Comments
 Feel free to drop by and chat if you have any questions - I'm usually around during normal CST/CDT business hours and sometimes in the evening. | |

Get to Know Pecan Grove Plantation...
| What makes Pecan Grove Plantation so Special? It’s that hard to find sense of Community. We have it in abundance! This Beautiful Golf Course Community Neighborhood is tucked away off the Main Highways, but just minutes from 3 major transit arteries such as Hwy 90A, Hwy 99 Grand Parkway, and the Westpark Tollway. ... read more of Kimbra's Intro... |

Anyway, below are the site's main sections. Several of the pages may still be in John's old format - sorry - but time seems harder and harder to find. if you'd like to help out with the site, please drop me a line -- Be sure to check the fun stuff below as well.

Owner Associations
Pecan Grove Plantation comprises 3 owner associations: the H.O.A, the P.O.A. and the C.I.A.. This site contains some POA specific things (like meeting minutes and deed restrictions complaint forms etc.) - but we also include info and services of interest to all PGP residents. However, if you find you need to contact a specific association, we also provide contact information for each association on the Important Contacts page.
Please contact the appropriate association when necessary. Your specific association is the only one that can help you. Also - please note that Plantation Place is not part of Pecan Grove Plantation.

Any Classical Guitarists in PGP?
It's been 18 years since I've even touched a classical guitar - and 24, or so, since I was (youthfully) serious about playing - but, I picked up again in late Dec '03 (for something to do). It's been fun, for sure, however, I find I miss the peer critique of school days - so, if there are any others in the neighborhood who might like to get together for some duets or trios, please drop me a note.
WARNING!! -- once upon a time, I could play - really - no kidding - but my hands are now TERRIBLY out of shape (in EVERY way) and, just so there're no false expectations, you can review some little videos of practices.
Only typical beginner stuff - Bach, Milan, Tarrega, Villa-Lobos - a little Barrios etc. - and the webcam mic is fairly poor quality - and these are certainly not "worked up" - and I'm OLDer now, so I think my brain is running more slowly than it once did  - and the dog ate my homework ...oops - sorry - that's a different thing -- Oh welllll - the comic relief of watching someone else indulging in a little self-inflicted left hand fingertip torture can be entertaining to some... ...I guess... |

Ya just NEVER know - Tony might be overhead and snappin' pics. So look up next time you hear a helicopter over the neighborhood and ya might just be the next star of the PGP Startled Resident Review :-))

 As a community service, I have agreed to keep you up-to-date on the continuing saga of the Beast of Bittersweet. If I am occasionally a bit late with new reports, please understand that I am providing this information at great personal and familial risk. We have had warnings, in the form of garden "snoutings" and other, less veiled, threats against continuing the publicity of this frightening and shameful affair. And, while the threats are pretty clear, I just can NOT continue the charade. We, the Bittersweet residents, talk all around the issue - averting our eyes and lowering our voices as the subject gets too close for comfort - all ashamed to admit (except perhaps to our very closest of friends) that we too have had our garden snouted - that we too have a burrow under the foundation or the base of a tree - and I am NOT going to allow myself to be shamed into silence any longer!! We WILL rid ourselves of this pestilence or SURELY lose every earthworm and grub we have in the attempt!! -- hav

Rita - continues to buffet PGP the day after! -- Well - Denabear always said I could "sleep through a HURRICANE!!" - and Dang if she wasn't right!! - but, luckily, Rita's furry was still in evidence the morning after.

Seriously -- our thoughts and prayers certainly go out to those who really did suffer the effects of Rita --
but with all our - in some cases, frantic - preparations, we just need a little giggle at ourselves. |

A Little About This Site:
from John: This website was started Tuesday, November 12, 1996. It, like most internet sites, is work in progress. Pecan Grove Plantation is a subdivision southwest of Houston in an unincorporated part of Fort Bend County, Texas. About 14,500 people live here. I think it's an incredible place to live, and just thought it should have an internet site.
from Horace: At John's request, I took the reins of the Pecan Grove Plantation Community website (sometime in late August, 1999). It is now being hosted courtesy of hav.Software which is providing these very nice server facilities.
I think that the P.O.A. and M.U.D. boards are becoming a bit more interested in how this site can be used to provide information to residents -
but we'll probably still have to rely on the community for additional content and direction (and "hands" if there are any free enough to help out!), so please feel free to contact me any time (except when I'm sleeping - which, probably, isn't as often as I'd like :-)
BTW - I'm a Thawte Web of Trust Notary and will be more than happy to assist you in asserting your identity for your personal Thawte certificate. Here's some additional information.
The Requisite Disclaimer: Information in this site is provided free of charge with no strings attached. The Pecan Grove Plantation Property Owners' Association, Inc. does not operate this site, makes no representation whatsoever about the accuracy or correctness of any information located here, and is not responsible for what anyone does with this information. This site is operated by private individuals. We will try to make the information accurate, correct, and interesting, but we are not charging and we are not being paid.
