Standing Stone State Park

2008-05-05T03:07:06Z

Standing Stone State park's name comes from the Standing Stone, an eight-foot tall rock standing upright on a sandstone ledge, which was used as a boundary line between two separate Indian nations. When the rock fell, the Indians placed a portion of it upon an improvised monument to preserve it. The stone is still preserved today in Monterey, Tennessee.

Located in Overton County, Standing stone is over 10,000 acers in the north-central Cumberland Plateue of Tennessee. This unique and rustic park is known for it's hiking trails, camping, scenery, wildlife, wildflowers and Tennessee natural beauty.

This park is a must visit location and there is no better time than now. Some of my favorite things to do at this park include Hiking, Fishing, rental boats, staying at the group lodge and swimming. Overal this ourdoor experiecne can releive stress and bring you back to nature in know time.

While playing a mean game of UNO last night!

2008-04-28T06:42:56Z

While playing a mean game of UNO with my furry friend "Merlot" I started thinking about other ways to give back to our community here in Crossville, Tennessee.

My team and I Traci Fant & Deb Short of F1RST REATLY COMPANYfirst started with the idea of giving a percentage of our sales to our local Cancer Society. Traci also gives a percentage of her sales to the local school her son Dasa'n attends.

There are so many organizations and charities to give to but starting with your local area is a big plus. Simply call the organization of choice and let them know that you would like to donate a percentage of your next sale "Simply to help". 1% up to 10% or more, that is up to you.

This is your choice to do something to help others because "You want to help". In return the possibilities are endless, but most of all you may save a life or help someone in need.

(An important factor brought to my attention by "Deb Short". = When you call the organization, find out how much actually goes to the cause! This could be a deciding factor for your choice)

POSSIBILITIES

American Cancer Society
Local Schools
Human Society
Animal Rescue Services
Elderly organizations
Feed the Hungry
Coat a child
Needing families in your area
Jerry's Kids

Tennessee Renaissance Festival 2008

2008-04-27T13:02:05Z

edieval and Renaissance Faire! The Tennessee Renaissance Festival is here again! This has to be one of my favorite things to do every year, As the Renaissance spectacular comes to life in Middle Tennessee. This is a family festival that all can and will enjoy! Every weekend in the Month of May let yourself travel back in time to Covington Glen and all the fun characters larking in the forest.

When you first arrive you park your modern day vehicle in a large parking lot field, you can't help but to notice the somehow enchanting old forest straight ahead.

As you make your way to the bridge gates you are greeted by the kingdom's court and bid a "Good Day Welcome" as the sights and sounds around you begin to transform into 16 century England.

Sounds of flutes and merry music, smells of roasted meats and sweets float in the breeze. Thirsty? Fresh squeezed lemonade and ale awaits your next corner. There are so many unique characters to admire and mingle with or even converse in English tongues. Or maybe you enjoy a good jousting match, medieval toys, handmade baskets and trinkets, unique shiny jewelry or a fairy filled maze? If your looking for something different and unforgettable - be sure to visit the Tennessee Renaissance festival this May. I never miss a chance for this spectacular, unexpected adventure.

Mother & Daughters "Camping get-away"

2008-04-20T16:46:22Z

This weekend I spent much needed and appreciated time with my Mother and Sister "Camping". My Mother lives only thirty minutes away so we visit as much as possible. My Sister just moved from Alaska to West Virginia so the visits are more often than the past but a six hour drive.

We decided to get together this weekend and "Camp" with just us girls! Including my only "female", furry friend (Merlot) Hiking, fishing, boating, campfires and lots of yummy food. My mouth is watering thinking about those gooey smores. (Standing stone state park)

During our adventures we came across two snakes, several turtles, wildflowers galore and unforgettable views. A few hours of showers but for the most part we were blessed with warm sunny days. With Spring in it's full glory, Dogwoods and Redbud's painted every corner and everywhere you looked was signs of new life - from baby birds to a single tree sprout making it's way through the forest leaves.

Although we enjoyed nature and all the splendors of camping, Most important we enjoyed eachothers company! Nothing can replace the hours of laughter, giggles and smiles. Hugs and I love you's trailed every sentence and we only continue to bond and grow together as Mother and Daughters, Sisters, Family and Women. We all have busy lives but taking the time to spend with the ones we love is priceless and needed during our lifetime. (Thanks Mom-Barbara and Sis-Tera) This was a weekend I will never forget! (Our next trip this summer is already planned for Fall Creek Falls, State Park).

Realtors are here to SAVE YOU MONEY!

2008-03-29T08:28:13Z

Realtors are here to save you money! Sounds so funny when we Realtors here the poor buyers or sellers say "I saved money by not having a Realtor". Most of us feel bad that the buyers or sellers fell for this line. The average commission is 6 to 7% on a home and 8 to 10% on land in our area. Most Realtors like my self make sure to negotiate at least $10,000 - $20,000 on each property purchase,sometimes even more. (I negotiated $52,000 on a large land purchase) so when you look at it you did not save money by not having a Realtor handle your property transactions, you actually Lost Money! The next time a builder, seller or buyer might try to convince you not to use a Realtor because you will save money....Give me a call, I will be glad to show you the real truth to this growing rumor that is taking advantage of the property sellers and buyers. (In a bad way).

Also when you use a Realtor you are protected! Legal documents and title work are vital to make sure the fact that you decided not to use a professional to close your property transactions correctly "does not come back to bite you". We are Realtors by profession, most of us like myself, went to school to get educated on Real Estate, we hold a valid License and pay dues yearly and continue education to keep them valid. Don't be fooled by the thought of saving money if you don't use a Realtor.. The truth is... You are putting yourself at great risk and you are loosing money on your purchase!
