MOTHERS DAY! That special day in May when we make a special effort to honor our Mothers and show appreciation for all that they have done for us. A day of breakfast in bed, being showered with gifts and flowers and many other mementos that show Mom how much she means to you! For some it is just a phone call or a beautiful card in the mail, for others it can be a large family gathering and special meal prepared together or an easy dinner out in Moms favorite restaurant. But however it is celebrated it is a

holidays: Meet Sugar - the BLOGGING dog! - 12/23/08 07:43 PM
What? Dogs can't blog. Well Sugar does! You see Sugar is Bimbo's cousin and like Bimbo, Sugar likes to hang out with everyone and be part of the crowd. She leads a VERY busy life, so yes she has lots of stories to blog about. If you don't believe me you can check out her blog for yourself at SUGAR BEAR MASON. She is like most all of us, sometimes after putting in a full day on the job site she is just too tired to post.

holidays: Celebrating the holidays with your "WORK" family! - 12/12/08 09:07 PM
During the Christmas holidays we always look forward to gift giving and Christmas dinners and spending time with family. In the days leading up to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day we typically gather together with our "WORK FAMILIES" to share in the holiday spirit. It is a special time of year when we can take time from our busy work schedules and rejoice in the spirit of our friendships that have grown during the year while we are hustling and bustling with listings and showings and contracts and closings! It is a time to relax from the hectic pace that is

Last week one of my girlfriends sent me an email invitation to come to her annual Christmas Party! But this Christmas Party invite had a twist to it...It said Girls Only! The instructions were to bring your favorite appeteaser, BYOB and a gift to play Dirty Santa, It will be a blast! Hmmmm....Now THAT sounded like FUN! The week wore on and I had not really had much time to think about the party or go shopping for a gift. After all this is a very busy time of year with all of the preparations for Christmas.

Last night we attended "The Grand Christmas Tree Lighting" at The Wharf in Orange Beach, Alabama! It was a very nice event, with Santa Clause arriving on the Orange Beach firetruck coming down Main Street with his cheery voice shouting "Merry Christmas" to all the children! There was a large crowd that filled the streets and everyone joined in the countdown as the switch was pulled and the very tall and beautiful tree burst into an array of bright twinkling white lights! All of the children were then invited to visit with Santa on his sleigh and have their annual

holidays: Oh h h h...Baby It's COLD outside! - 11/15/08 12:06 PM
Yes, it is definitely that time of year again! The temperature has dropped, the heat kicks on and we wake up in the morning with that feeling of...."Brrrrrr It is too COLD outside to show houses, or work on the signage, or go on caravan to preview homes!" It seems like a good day to just keep your jammies on and curl up by the fire and read a book, and get a big pot of hot chili cooking on the stove. Or you think "I guess I really should get some work done, so I can just stay
