Rivers and Reefs Pet Center

06/14/2024

Just 2 days after my 1 year anniversary with US Storage Centers was my last day. On April 8th(Eclipse Day!) I started my new position as an Inventory Specialist at Spacex in Bastrop.
I absolutely love the people that I am working with, every day I have to pinch myself that I am working here in this amazing facility. I am doing things that I never thought I would be doing like driving a forklift(sometimes!), and feel so at home here.

March 31st 1989, James bought Rivers and Reefs Pet Center in downtown Round Rock. He moved it to Barton Springs Road in 92 and to South Congress Ave in 1997. Here are a few pictures from the South Congress location before we moved to First Street.
We closed down our First Street location Feb 26th 2023.

On Christmas we went out and tried something new to us. We went to SoupLeaf Hot Pot, and figured our way through the meal. It was great!
We have been reflecting on this last year and all the things we have gone through. Starting it very hopeful that we were going a good direction with the shop. To the ice storm and very quickly having to shut down. James went back to school. And at the company Christmas party they announced his promotion to Lead Customer Service. Rachel got a promotion to Property Manager(from Assistant) as well. So different from where we were a year ago and while we still keep touch a bit through social media, boarding our regulars in our home, and those who stop by Home Depot and visit with James, it's you, our customers, friends, and even former employees that we miss the most and are most appreciative to. You have helped us become the people we are today.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Some of y'all have seen him in his orange apron at the Customer Service desk at our local Home Depot(Woodward & I35). James started there in late August and was Employee of the Month this November!

Feeding the birds.
I make some version of this mix fresh every day for my conures, ringnecks and quakers. Ingredients vary day to day, season to season. Sometime frozen veggies are added too.
Picture 1:Greens, strawberries, blueberries and carrots
Picture 2: Fresh sprouts, sliced almonds, a couple fresh goji berries, red pepper flakes
Picture 3: veggie and berries chopped in blender. Some of this is put aside for the box turtles as well.
Picture 4: everything is stirred together and fresh oregano added. Sometimes its dried or other herbs are added.

Since Rachel has been working the jewelry booth in Guero's parking lot, we took advantage of our ideal parking spot and had dinner there last night. It was the first time we had eaten there since we had moved the shop off of Congress. Yum!
