missouri: Shopping for Antiques in the Ozarks - 03/25/08 02:18 PM
One of my favorite "day trips" is antique shopping in Botkinburg, AR. Located about 2 hours south of Branson on Highway 65, this little town is the home of the Antique Warehouse and not much else. But that's okay as it will take you hours to see everything in the warehouses!
You'll find all kinds of treasures in the 90,000 square feet of shops, warehouses, and showrooms. Most of the warehouses are filled with furniture, but you can find antique plates, clocks, photos, and other items too. The last time I was there, they also had a whole building of stained glass windows and old doors.

missouri: First Snow of the Year! - 01/31/08 11:24 AM
Much to the delight, I'm sure, of all the kids in school, we received our first accumulation of snow of the winter today!
The weatherman is predicting 5" to 10" total snowfall.
With temperatures being forecast for Sunday at 38 and 53 on Monday, it doesn't look like it will last long.
I would write more but I have to go and dust off the snow disc and get in some sledding before it's gone!

Everyone is curious about our local real estate market, especially in light of all the negative coverage being shown by the media these days. The news in our area is encouraging.
For the category of All Homes Sold throughout our MLS, sales were only down 10.8% in 2007, as compared to 2006. Since 2006 was a phenomenal sales year, a 10.8% drop isn't devastating.
