Speechless Sunday - A Beautiful Sky & Lots on My Mind
Well, it's not really a Speechless Sunday for me. I've got a ton on my mind lately. The rest of the world is watching football and I'm hanging out just finishing up dinner with my 4 kids getting ready to watch a chick flick. (Something I NEVER make time for anymore!) Thankful for the 3 day weekend. Love when the kids are out of school. Guess I'm the opposite of most parents when it comes to that. My kids have a super crazy schedule this year. When more … (1 comments)

Sal's Pizza in Sturbridge Review & NOW OPEN! On my way home from Worcester last night I decided to pick up some Sal's Pizza for dinner. Sal's Pizza opened up in Sturbridge 2 months ago.

100 DAYS OF CENTRAL MASS FEATURES CAPE COD STYLE HOMES
Cape Cod style homes first originated in the late 1700s and were built by English settlers that came to America. A former President of Yale University, Reverend Timothy Dwight, is credited with coming up with the name "Cape Cod" for this class of home styles.
Cape Cods were modeled after the half-timbered homes in England, but were altered to adapt to the stormy New England weather. They are traditionally 1 - 1 1/2 story homes with a steep roof and side gables. Some capes have dormers that allow extra light, space and storage. They are simple … (2 comments)

sturbridge ma: $7 FOR A tiny PIECE OF PAPER?? Goodbye Bank of America!!! - 07/12/09 09:49 AM
Okay, I've hated Bank of America for a LONG TIME now...I use them for our company's business banking and have been wanting to switch as soon as all of our escrow money was out of there and the homes were sold. They charge me $13 per account for all 3 of my accounts with them!!! That in itself is highway robbery in my opinion. The next big beef I have with them is that lately, if I deposit a check from a local bank, they hold my money for a full weekor more unless I call them every day until it … (2 comments)

Today I met a nice woman that has been trying to sell her home. This home is very unique, it is in the shape of a geodesic dome. It's been for sale for a year now with different Realtors and she's really looking for a way to sell it. Now we know this is a tough market as it is, but how would you market this type of property?
