Who is the Unappreciated Elephant in Your Life? - 10/28/08 06:31 AM
Ogden Nash wrote in his "Carnival of Animals"
"Elephants are useful friends
Equipped with handles at both ends.
They have a wrinkled, moth proof hide
Their teeth are upsidedown outside!"
So who is the unappreciated elephant in your life? In your office? In your group? Do you know who I am talking about? You know the one...the useful friend. The funny, nerdy kind of background person that is always willing to do the schlep work yet is cast aside at social occassions or else given a pity invite? You know, the one that just always seems to get by … (3 comments)

Collegedale, Tennessee in Fall - A Pictorial History - 10/26/08 07:16 PM
What wonderful sounds an sites and smells are in Collegedale, Tn this time of year! I am not going to try to tell you a story, simply let you look at what I collected today from around town in the fall season.. By the way, this weekend was homecoming weekend for Collegedaale Academy and a lot of folks were in town to enjoy the season and many special events and old friends. There were several concerts and a gymnastic exhibit that I know of and many other events that I haven't caught up with yet.

Apison Tennessee in a Little Detail - 10/26/08 03:01 PM
This is the quaint little Post Office in the tiny enclaave known as Apison, Tennessee. Sandwiched between Collegedale, Tn., McDonald, Tn., and Ooltewh, Tn. this tiny little community is a quiet, country place to live. The houses are mostly modest. There is not much of a "town" per se, yet there is convenience to all that it's neighboring towns of Collegedale, Tn. and Ooltewah, Tn. have to offer and yet still is a great place to raise a horse as well as a family.
This is the Apison, Tennessee elementary school. Good education as part of the Hamilton County … (2 comments)

MOre, More, More---Delano Tennessee, Benton, Tennessee - 10/25/08 07:35 PM
I was recently on a forum and someone asked about Delano Tn. and Benton, Tn. Unfortunately the forum prohibited me from answering about a lisiting that I have and the River Ranch in Benton would fit them perfectly. I decided to post another blog about the area so that the chance improves that people will find this undiscovered aand convenient area.
Tell me, where are you going to find something like this. This happens to be a 6.82 tract of property that is for sale.

It's Poodle TIME in Tennessee!!!! - 10/25/08 11:47 AM
I haven't written about the Poos in a while, so, here's an update:
MARILYN She is home now at 16 months old. She is growing coat to go back in the show ring. She is turning out to be an intelligent, athletic and highly independent girl. Stuning to look at. She came home with 4 points and a HUGE bill for me to pay. Taking care of coat is not my forte so we struggle along. Today is supposed to be Marilyn grooming day.
SAGITTA She is 18 months now and ever my little agility queen and early warning detector. You … (3 comments)

Yesterday I wrote a blog about Palisades Park, N.J. back in the day. Well, Jim Albano asked me to post it to the North Jersey group and well, being the techno nerd that I am I erased it while I was trying to post it over, so take II.

More on Polk County Tn.and Benton-Delano Area - 10/24/08 12:16 AM
Today I had ocassion to visit River Ranch and I took a scenic drive and explored more parts of Polk County and the Delano and Benton areas. I thought that I would like to share more photos of this sleepy, growing community that I am slowly falling in love with.
This is County Road 163 or also known as Bowater Road. This happens to be the turn at the Chestuee Baptist Church sign to go to the River Ranch. Bowater is a big paper plant located on Highway 11 in Calhoun, Tn. You may remember reading about a rather large and … (1 comments)

Do you Remember? Freddy Cannon and Down at Palisades Park....... - 10/23/08 12:08 AM
I just posted on Jim Albano's blog. He is a North Jersey Realtor on AR. For some reason it just inspired me to post about Palisades Park, N.J. For those of you who don't know Jim it is worth checking him out. In the one year that I have been here I have watched him and his blog grow and he has always been so considerate. Well, I am originally from N.J. and Jim and I josh back and forth about what he likes in Tennessee and what I miss about Jersey. It just got me to thinking and wanting … (2 comments)

Apison Tennessee...the forgotten neighbor!!! - 10/22/08 10:35 PM
Apison is a small community that is a sub suburb of Chattanooga and I guess a suburb of Ooltewah and Collegedale Tennessee. It is difficult to know the boundaries of Apison; it threads itself around Collegedale, Ooltewah and the south part of Bradley County Tennessee. There is a small post office located off of East Brainerd Road and there is a Hullco center and a small antique/trading shop but not much other commerce per se. There are however, acres and acres of picturesque farmland and McMansions mixed in with more moderate country style homes. It is convenient to Collegedale, Ooltewah and … (0 comments)

Sometimes it Runs in the Family! J.P. Goes for a Sunday Drive. - 10/13/08 05:59 AM
I wanted all of you dog lovers who follow my blog and have come to know my Poodles, to be introduced to the brother of my Marilyn, the Diva extrodinaire!!!
Meet Jean' Paul Weekes, otherwise known as J.P. and brother, littermate to my Ridgewood's Starlit Coast, (Marilyn).
This is J.P., out for a Sunday drive with his mommy and I yesterday. He is smart, and oh so stubborn, and in my opinion, a most handsome boy. These are all traits that his sister Marilyn has as well and his other brother Preto seems to also. I would have to say … (9 comments)

A Turkey Story for all the Turkeys from Hiwassee River Ranch, Benton, Tn. - 10/12/08 07:57 PM
And what to my wondering eyes should appear? A turkey in all it's strutting glory! Getting in shape to run from the Thanksgiving hunters I am sure!
This was the funniest Turkey I had ever seen. You see we were coming down Polk County Route 750 from the Hiwassee River Ranch when my friend spotted a tractor for sale that she wanted to investigate. I not being particularly interested in tractors, began to stroll the mini farm while she talked with the owner. What I found ws an assortment of all type of barnyard animals, but, in particular, this TURKEY!!! … (4 comments)

A Beautiful Afternoon at the Savannah-Oaks Winery and Gift Shop - 10/12/08 07:26 PM
As I described yesterday, East Tennessee is just easing into the fall season. Actually it was 85 degrees out this afternoon. My friend Bobbie, her dog J.P. and I set out to make a tour of the area near Benton, Tn. and Delano, Tn. Close to our new equine community. One of the places that we have always wanted to stop was the Savannah Oaks Winery on Delano Road. They also advertise items from the Sweetwater Cheese Factory. This is also AMish country so it is not unusual to see a horse and carriage go by.
Well, we arrived at the winery about … (0 comments)

A Great Time to Find a Home or Investment Property in Collegedale, Tennessee - 10/11/08 11:46 PM
The time has NEVER been better!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In perhaps the last ten years this has got to be without a doubt a terrific time to buy a home or a rental investment in Collegedaale, Tn. Usually properties are difficult to find, but, with worried home sellers, there is more inventory thaan normal and better prices. This town's market never really declines and it is certainly not a haven for foreclosure. The real estate market here is very cyclical with students and faculty at SAU coming and going. Most homes turn every 4-6 years because of the transition in life stages. Parents can … (0 comments)

Well, it is that time of year again; fall! Without a doubt it is one of the most beautiful times of year in East Tennessee. Currently, I have a lot of occassions to travel throughout different counties including Hamilton, Polk, McMinn, Monroe, Loudon,and Campbell. Everywhere the air is crisp and fresh, the trees are just starting to turn and the sky is a beautiful saphire blue.
If you have ever thought of visiting Tennessee or better yet moving here, now is the perfect time to do it. If I can assist you with any information then please let me know. … (4 comments)

RIVER RANCH Canine/Equine Facility Land on the River in East Tennessee - 10/06/08 09:08 PM
There is a great new piece of real estate in Tn. that I am handling for the developer. It is 265 acres of the most gorgeous land all bounded by the Hiwassee River. It is between Chattanooga and Knoxville. We are developing it to be an equine community with riding trails, stables and an arena. It is in the beginning stages, but, there is power and potable water there now. Most of it is level to gently rolling, some cleared, some wooded. The developer has given me permission to invite any groups that want to use the land for training or … (7 comments)
