Usually these type of emails get picked up by my spam filter but somehow this one managed to slip through - Re: Sandra-I have a Referral-CALL ME Robert (Your Friendly Realtor) [MoneyTree@xmr3.com] Dear Sandra, I was referred to you as an active real estate agent working with buyers and sellers. We have a few buyer applications in Guilford, CT 6437 that have been pre approved for a loan. These applicants are looking to buy a house within the next 0-180 days and have been verified. They need a real estate agent to find them a property! Can you call me at (818) 444-7295 Ext. 8028 to give you more information about these applications? Thank you, Robert Beck Sales Manager, Money Tree 6433 Topanga Canyon Blvd. #602 - Canoga Park, CA 91303 (818) 444-7295 Ext. 8028
Your Phone Number: 203.453-0391 This email has been sent to you on Behalf of Money Tree Funding
What I love about this one is Robert identifies himself as “ Your Friendly Realtor” in his address but in his signature line he signs as a sales manager. You’re a Realtor, Robert, highly doubt it. He was referred to me? Nice try, don’t think so. I have heard Money Tree Funding. They sell leads. Kinda, sorta if your lucky. Oh, google is a wonderful thing. You can read all sorts of interesting things about Money Tree Funding on Google and Mr. Beck is mentioned by name. Oh my. Not interested, but thanks for trying. I wonder how many Realtors fall for this and think it is a real referral and make the call. I don’t buy leads, but for any one else who is thinking about it, a word to the wise. Do your homework. There are too many scammers out there just waiting to take your hard earned money. I really like how he included my number at the bottom of the email. I guess it’s in case I forget my phone number.
While driving down the street today, I came upon this amazing sight. I just had to turn my car around and take a few pictures. Have the Canadian Geese come back to Connecticut early. Does this mean we will be having a bad winter? No, nothing like that at all. But the truth behind this picture is even more puzzling.
For some odd reason this homeowner has about 50 large plastic geese lined up in rows all along his driveway. They weren’t there a couple of days ago; think I would have noticed them. Are they “watch” geese? Did they have a huge sale of geese at the local discount store? I know I didn’t get the flyer.
Even the neighborhood kids had no clue as to why they were there. They kept peppering me with questions as I was trying to take some pictures. I’m thinking about using this in my next marketing campaign. I believe it would be extremely unique. “Thinking of selling your home – Make sure all your ducks are in a row – Call Sandra! Now does anyone know where I can get my hands on about 50 large plastic ducks cheap?

This year Dan and I will be celebrating our 30th anniversary on August 11. Every big anniversary we plan a trip. Usually, Dan takes care of planning these little excursions, but this weekend he informed me this time it is my turn.
Gee, honey, thanks, you could have told me this 6 months ago, when I would have had more time. Guys, I'm looking for some ideas here. I have only like 2 weeks to plan this trip. HELP!
Dan planned a cruise for the whole family for our 25th, so I'm under a lot of pressure here, and of course we have let our passports expire, so the South of France is out. Damn!
Through, I'm hoping for something a little better than last year, which was a "bean supper" at the local firehouse up in Maine. Thank you, Cousin George. I owe you one. Not that I don't love going to Maine, but after last weekend's adventure with the killer mouse and the 2x4, I think I'll pass.
So, everyone, I really need your help, let me here those creative vacations.......
BRANFORD - "In 1638 the New Haven Colony traded "eleven coats of trucking cloth and one coat of English cloth made in the English fashion" to the Mattabesec Indians for land known as Totokett (Tidal River). The first permanent settlement was established in 1644 when people from Wethersfield came to Totokett, later rename Branford after the town of Brentford in Middlesex County, England. The Sound provided many of the settlers with a livelihood of shipbuilding and coastwise trade. Industry began in 1655 when the first iron furnace in Connecticut was set up and operated at Lake Saltonstall. Yale College was founded in 1701 when ten ministers met and made a contribution of books. In 1852 upon completion of the railroad, industrialization flourished. Two leading manufacturing firms were founded during this era: the Malleable Iron Fittings Company in 1854, and the Branford Lock Works in 1862. The twentieth century has brought some changes to Branford, but much of its historical heritage remains in the form of old buildings and well-preserved villages."
When it comes to The Connecticut Shoreline there are seven towns in New Haven County with frontage on the Sound but only three are classified as "The Shoreline" - Branford, Guilford & Madison. Branford being the closest to the City of New Haven is also the most populated and diverse of the three towns. Housing stock consists of everything from Trailer Parks to Condos to Waterfront Mansions. Several small sections of town offer their own unique character. In the Pine Orchard sections you find the exclusive Yacht & Country Club where there is usually a waiting list to join and membership is by invitation only.
June is time for the Branford Festival that monopolizes the downtown area with activities.

Sandra L Cummings Subscribe to The Shoreline Blogger - Sandra Cummings by Email GUILFORD - "This town, the seventh oldest, was founded in 1639 by an oppressed but optimistic band of English Puritans. Henry Whitfield, a minister in Ockley, near London, was the moving spirit behind their emigrations. About forty of his friends and sympathizers formed a joint stock company to sail across the Atlantic. They were mostly young and energetic men, farmers, well-educated, and all of them persons of high standing in their community. In a deed of sale dated September 29, 1639, the Whitfield Company purchased the lands between Stony Creek and East River from the Squaw Shaumpishuh, Sachem of the local Menunkatuck Indian tribe. Whitfield's stone house at first served as a fortress and meeting place. Guilford Green was inspired by the typical 17thcentury English common. In the fall of 1641 the settlers purchased from the Indians land beyond East River that included most of what became East Guilford."
"East Guilford, now Madison, was set off as a distinct church society in 1703, North Guilford in 1720, and North Bristol (North Madison) in 1753. Two good harbors and two tidal rivers assured success to Guilford in Connecticut ~ New York coastwise shipping and the West India trade during the 18thcentury. In the American Revolution, British troops landed several times and burned two houses. The famous Sachem's Head Hotel ( 1797-1897 ) made this town the center of society for many years. John Beattie's granite quarries at Leete's Island employed as many as three hundred workmen and supplied stone for the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. Famous sons of Guilford include William Leete, an early Governor of Connecticut; Fitz-Greene Halleck, one of the noted Knickerbocker Poets; and Abraham Baldwin, a signer of the United States Constitution and Senator from Georgia."
Henry Whitfield himself led quite a life, went back to England after 11 years also ditching his wife. Just beyond the Whitfield house heading down to the shore amongst historic homes you see a strange sight. The Spaceship that "landed" back in the '80s one night. Continuing south and looking out at sea sits Faulkner's Island with the second oldest Lighthouse built in 1802. Heading north towards the center is a favorite place, steps from my office its like an escape, the Guilford Green. If you read the article about the picturesque Green it mentions a gadfly old guy always lurking around like some kind of a spy. Keeping odd hours myself I was acutely aware that Richard Greene was always out there. Sad to say its no longer that way, Mr. Greene passed away. Reflecting back over hundreds of years it is easy to miss one man modern day fears. Richard Greene was quite passionate when he felt he was right, always sharing his thoughts and putting up a good fight. ________________________________________________________________________________________ If you are thinking about putting your home on the market, now is the time!

On this father’s day, I wanted to thank you for some of things you have done for me over the years . Thanks for understanding my need to bring home ever stray animal I found, and even letting me keep a few. I knew I had finally turned you into an animal lover when I found out you started microwaving the cat’s food. Thank you for all the help on my homework and years later helping me with my kid’s homework. Thank you for giving me the freedom to discuss anything with you. As a child, I remember our long conversations about everything under the sun, the environment, war, politics and religion, we didn’t always agree, and I still remember our conversation regarding nuclear power. Thanks for playing jump-rope and hopscotch with me. Thank you for all those family vacations to museums and national parks. While other kids were hanging out at home, we were learning American History. I did not appreciate it then, but I so appreciate now! Thanks for taking the heat from mom when I brought her the grave wreath as a gift. Do you think she will ever forgive us? I owe you one. Thanks for only taking me golfing once. But most of all thank you for being you for without you I would not be the person I am today. I know I was not the easiest of children growing up, and we won’t even go into those teenage rebellion years, but through it all I always knew you were there standing behind me ready to catch me if I fell, and I love you for it.
The miles separate us now and it saddens me, for I can’t see you as much as I would like. A phone call, a quick laugh or two before you say your famous words “ Let me get your mother”. Just wanted you to know on this father’s day you are always in my heart. I love you and miss you. Your loving daughter, Sandra
