So July 4th has many meanings to all of us. It stands for the ideals and belief systems our country was founded on and acts as a reminder of what cost those beliefs and our freedom came to. I would take this time to thank all of our troops past, present … (2 comments)
This morning I showed someone a house. The streets of Bryan and College Station had very little traffic on them, which is unusual for us. I saw one family riding bicycles with their children. That was nice to see...something free for the family and an adventure in nature.
Are you familiar with this saying? If you are from Jersey, then the chances are pretty good that you are! We are The Garden State, afterall. Yes, I included myself in that 'We'! I'll always be a Jersey Girl, no matter where my mail is delivered. Anyway, back to the saying. … (5 comments)

Happy 4th of July to all! I wish you all a happy and safe 4th. Let us Remember our of Military personal on this wonderful holiday if not for them we would not be able to rest easy and enjoy our Families & Friends. 
This is one of my two favorite Holidays. My first is Thanksgiving. I love the fact that both Holidays are just get togethers where people are here to just celebrate. Nothing more...just celebrate. Thanksgiving is great b/c we sit around have a few drinks, overeat, play football in the backyard, watch football on TV … (3 comments)
I KNOW THAT REAL ESTATE NEVER SLEEPS. I'VE BEEN IN THE REAL ESTATE INSPECTION INDUSTRY FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND I GET REQUESTS FOR INSPECTIONS ON MOST MAJOR HOLIDAYS.
So the big weekend is coming up. Fourth of July, Independence day, a day off from work, another day the banks are closed, and the mail doesn't run. However you choose to look at it, take a second this week to reflect on our freedom. Yes, you typically remember Veterans during Memorial Day, … (7 comments)
My daughter and I were chatting the other night and she brought up an interesting item. Have you ever noticed the difference between Mother's Day and Father's Day?

Gas prices keeping you home?
Memorial Day is coming Monday. How will you spend your day as a REALTOR? Will you be showing houses, working on referrals, mail outs, listings? Marketing or advertising ? 
HONORING THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE FOR OUR COUNTRY! Memorial Day is a federal holiday, it is celebrated on the last Monday in May. Flags are flown at half mast, in honor of our fallen heros. Let's remember them and their families on this day!
With Memorial Day fast approaching, I'm reminded of when that used to mean a day off. Now I'm trying to figure out how I will balance my real estate business and pleasure during that extended weekend.I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the true meaning of Memorial Day, as I'm certainly one that … (0 comments)
If it was, my heart goes out to you. 
Mothers are everything for us when we are small...our lives revolve around her. For everything that we need we call mother. To protect us from all perceivable dangers we want her around us. To take us out we hold her arms. To kiss away our wounds we run to her. … (0 comments)

Tequila, chips, salsa, cerveza (beer) and fun...all associated with the Mexican holiday so gracefully adopted by Americans called "Cinco de Mayo".

It always amazes me when I see listing agents and buyer agents who work from as far as 30 to 50 miles away or more and their trying to list and sell homes in our local market place. It is a true disservice to the consumer and to them selves.

Is it all about cost or price? That's what our news group was talking about this morning. Men said yes, ladies said it's about love and some ladies said they didn't need a man to enjoy the day. Personally I enjoy enjoying it with all of my family.It's strange the things … (3 comments)

If you are in Las Vegas, I highly recommend visiting the Bellagio. The conservatory is decorated using seasonal themes with live flowers and plants that change every few months.
This time of the year, it is decorated for the Christmas season. A giant tree

There is … (4 comments)
The hustle and bustle of the holiday season is almost complete which makes it very easy to forget the true spirit of giving. In my humble opinion a "Gift" is something that you give, whether its money, food, toys, time, a helping hand, advice, a little patience or just a kind … (9 comments)

Outside my window, citrus trees hang heavy with fruit. Birds flit around the pink grapefruit, looking for aphids and their caretakers, the ever-present ants. It'll be in the 60s today, maybe even 70. A beautiful winter day in Southern California.
