elkhart county: WAKE UP BUYERS..TIME IS TICKING..and there will be no further extensions of First Time & Move Up Buyers Credit Program! - 12/28/09 09:57 AM
I bought my first home in 1979 and in all the homes I have bought and sold since then, the government never gave me a cash back. I recently read an article in the 12-27-09 LA TIMES that indicates there will be no further extensions of time to participate in the First Time Buyer/Move Up Buyer Tax Credit Program.
Quote from the LA Times states that: "Proponents of the $8,000 credit for first-time buyers and the $6,500 credit for move-up buyers made it clear during the debate on Capitol Hill that the benefits would not be renewed when they expire. And … (0 comments)

elkhart county: Patience Pays Off - 07/24/09 10:58 AM
When I was a child my grandma possessed some delightful Singer Sewing cards that had bird and bird egg illustrations on them. I attribute my love of birds, gardens and sewing to my Grandma Jones. She also taught me about being patient.
I have put out 3 bluebird houses for the last 3 years. I keep 2 heated birdbaths for the birds and have been rewarded each year in those long cold days of winter with groups of bluebirds stopping by for a drink. The brilliant flash of blue feathers against the grey skies brought me hopes of spring and … (2 comments)

elkhart county: Yes Virginia, we have had over 10 inches of snow... - 11/29/08 09:59 AM
Maybe its because I still have just a smidge of Florida sand in between my toes, but it seems like the snow and winter have arrived very early this November in northern Indiana. Heres the proof, photos taken of my backyard on November 18th to be exact.No matter how long I live, I will never get over the thrill of seeing that clear blue sky behind the frigid trees. Bring on the hot buttered rum and my snow blower, winter is here!

elkhart county: The Maple City-Have you stopped to enjoy it lately? - 08/16/08 03:29 PM
Like so many kids growing up I could not wait to get away from Goshen, a small town in the midst of walls of corn that seemed to go on forever. My wish came true and I did grow up and move away. Only with the distance of time and miles did I come to appreciate all that I left behind. I returned some 25 years later with eyes that could and still do appreciate all that this little town still has to offer. The nostalgic part of me wishes the downtown area still hosted some long gone favorites like Kline's … (5 comments)

elkhart county: Seize the day! - 08/07/08 10:04 AM
Today is one of those days here in Hoosier Land. One of those days that makes you glad you are alive and glad you are in Elkhart County! Low humidity, bright sunny day. Low 80's. This is the day I will "store" in my mind to recall during those dark winter mornings when the sky can barely light up enough to drive to work without running your headlights all day long.
Another reason to be happy today? Its harvest time in Indiana. The sweetest sweet corn, peaches, green beans, tomatoes, blueberries and the melons! I am like a drunken sailor reeling … (5 comments)

elkhart county: Quilts of Comfort - 07/21/08 09:10 PM
In addition to being a real estate agent, I am also a quilter. Quilters always have had a generous hearts, making a quilt to bring comfort to someone is what we do, who we are. We sent thousands of them to Katrina victims. The Linus organization, which gives quilts to kids who need comforting has delivered over 2,300,000 kids quilts to date and that is just a small portion of what goes on. We are as I post this message collecting and sending items to the folks in Cedar Rapids,Iowa area where the quilters there lost everything, even so simple an … (8 comments)

elkhart county: Elkhart County Fair Anyone? - 07/21/08 06:41 PM
So sorry for those of you who do not live here or those who are even too far away to travel here. One of the best fairs in the state of Indiana is happening this week in Goshen, Indiana. We have free grandstand shows and some of the best entertainment around! Kellie Pickler, Hootie and the Blowfish and many other shows can all be seen from the grandstand for just the price of admission.
I have always liked going to the fair. My birthday falls around the Centerville MI fair week and every year when we were kids, we went to … (5 comments)
