charlotte home info: Christmas Photo Contest .. Keller Williams SouthPark Enjoying Their Christmas Party - 12/03/11 02:25 PM
Last Evening was our Keller Williams SouthPark Christmas Party.
 
As you can see there was a great turn-out and all enjoyed.  It was held in a builder’s model home so a win-win for all.  The builder got to show off this beautiful model home to many realtors last evening.
 
You can see that I was having a great time and posed with fellow agent Jonathan Osman.  Of course we were in the food line.
 
It was so nice to see everyone decked out and looking their best.

Pay it forward... giving back to Toys for Tots!
 

 
Today as I arrived at our SouthPark Keller Williams office, I noticed a big U-Haul truck sitting in front of our building and two Marines were busy getting boxes out of the back of the truck.
 
The two Marines followed me into our building and actually delivered the boxes to our office.  There was a recent article concerning Toys for Tots and that the donations were really down this year.
 
Once again our office is pulling together and everyone will be picking up a toy to bring to our … (7 comments)

McAdenville, NC is just a little west of Charlotte, NC in Gaston county.  It is a sleepy textile town until Christmas time and then... Watch out!!  It lights up and is known as Christmastown, USA.
 
McAdenville has been hoping the past few years that Thomas Kincaid would decide to paint this very quaint village and to their surprise and pleasure it has happened. 
 
"You will not want to miss a chance at this historic opportunity.  Thom has only painted NC twice before, with
 Elegant Evening at Biltmore Cape Hatteras Light and now McAdenville as The Lights of Christmastown."

charlotte home info: Black Friday Reminds me Of Alfred Hitchcock's ...The Birds - 11/25/11 10:05 PM
Today was Black Friday and I stayed as far away from the malls as I could.  I had no desire to get caught up in the pushing and shoving.
 
I was looking out onto our front lawn and black birds were everywhere.  They must be migrating  and moving south.  This was looking towards our neighbors house.
 
Here was the first photo...
 

 
As I watched from the window the birds took flight and what a flurry.  It reminded me of how the malls would be today.  I decided to stay away from the malls.

This morning it was white with frost.  In fact I did a double take when I looked out the window.  It was still dark, but the ground was white.  I actually thought it had snowed.

charlotte home info: I Have to Have a Red Door!! - 10/29/11 08:51 PM
Today I was working with a really nice couple from Ireland and as we looked at houses she kept making references for needing to have a red door on whatever house they end up buying.
 
After I dropped them off I decided to do some research on the meaning of a red door and found some very interesting facts...
 
To many people a red door means "welcome."  
For the Irish, their meaning for a red door is to ward off evil spirits and ghosts.  
Red is a lucky and sacred color for the Chinese.  In fact they … (14 comments)

Years ago I was so lucky to meet the many wonderful directors and volunteers with Blue Ridge Boxer Rescue.  I started really slow when I first volunteered with Blue Ridge Boxer Rescue.

You can volunteer your time to attend and assist with fundraisers. You can volunteer to help transport animals.  They have to be transported from where they are rescued from to their foster homes or to the vetinarian for appts.  You can donate money. You can volunteer to head up a fundraiser. … (11 comments)
