It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! And if you have your house on the market, you might be packing up everything you own very soon. The last thing you want to do is unpack all your Christmas decorations only to have to pack them back up again. In addition, if you are showing your home to potential buyers, you are going to want to keep your holiday décor as simple as possible. You don’t have to be a scrooge though! You can decorate beautifully without spending a lot of money and without having to unpack all your personal treasures. … (4 comments)

holidays: ‘Tis the Season to Give Back - 11/21/17 08:08 AM
The holiday season is the perfect time of year to show how grateful we are by helping others in need.  Not everyone will spend the holidays in a warm home surrounded by loved ones, but those of us that will can make the season a little bit brighter by donating time, food and gifts to those less fortunate.  To make it a little easier for you to do so, here is a list of places where you can volunteer or make donations in the Montgomery area:
The Salvation Army of Montgomery AL - The Salvation Army serves the most vulnerable citizens in our … (1 comments)

holidays: Thank you, Veterans! - 11/10/17 11:00 AM
"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…"--President Woodrow Wilson
So began President Wilson in November 1919, when he dedicated Armistice Day, November 11, to the cause of world peace and to honor the sacrifice of the US military after World War I. Nineteen … (2 comments)

As the cold and grey winter days... 
Give way, to the bright and beautiful spring..

and a warmth in your heart...
To stay with you, all through the year!
Happy Easter!

holidays: HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! - 02/14/17 11:20 AM
Just hearing or seeing the date, February 14th, conjures images of hearts and flowers in our minds. Valentine’s Day.  A “holiday” named for St. Valentine.  A day set aside each year to celebrate love.  But how did Valentine’s Day begin?  And who is St. Valentine?
Have you ever wondered how Valentine’s Day got its name?  While it is believed that the name came from a saint, the origins of how it became attached to a day to celebrate love are a bit of a mystery. One legend claims that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome.  When … (3 comments)

holidays: Merry Christmas from The Hat Team - 12/23/16 09:00 AM

Charles Dickens

holidays: MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY! - 11/23/16 09:11 AM
“Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.”
Henry Van Dyke
 
Did you know?:
-    The first Thanksgiving was held in the autumn of 1621 and included 50 Pilgrims and 90 Wampanoag Indians and lasted three days. Many historians believe that only five women were present at that first Thanksgiving, as many women settlers didn't survive that difficult first year in the U.S.
-    Thanksgiving didn't become a national holiday until over 200 years later! Sarah Josepha Hale, the woman who actually wrote the classic song “Mary Had a … (1 comments)
