real estate agent: HURRAY, HURRAY.... GREAT NEWS IN CROMWELL CT!!!! - 10/01/09 03:23 AM

I have lived Cromwell CT for many years, and it is a realitively small town to todays communities in Connecticut.  When it comes to home repair we would have to travel ½ hour to get to the nearest commerical home improvement store.  There is a Lowes and Home Depot in Newington, and a Home Depot in Middletown, CT.  For me it is 6 of one half dozen of another to get to.
I've noticed construction going on...and I've been watching and waiting as a new Lowes is opening up right here in Cromwell.  The grand opening (preview) is tonight, Thursday, October … (7 comments)

real estate agent: MILITARY WHIST.... ANY INTEREST IN PLAYING? - 03/25/09 12:02 PM
THIRD CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
MILITARY WHIST
94 MINER STREET
MIDDLETOWN, CT
I received a call from the 3rd Congregational Church to see if I could blog about the card game Military Whist.  They are having this at the church this Thursday, tomorrow, March 26th starting at 6:30pm.  I personally am not familiar with this game, but it seems like fun once they told me about it.

So, if you are looking for something different to do stop by and check it out.  I'd love to hear what you think of the game.

real estate agent: NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS.. WHERE DO YOU STAND ON THIS? - 01/01/09 07:34 AM
First, let me say, I hope everyone had a very Happy New Year's Eve last night.  It is now the start of 2009, and I'm hoping everyone is getting off on the right foot.  We all made resolutions of one form or another.. and I'm sure we are ALL going to stick with them.. at least for the first week. LOL. My main resolution is an attitude change.. I'm not looking to change everyone else.. just me.  I'm tired of the negativity.. and everyone complaining about *something*, if not everything.  When I thought about it.. not much comes of this.  Complaining, … (29 comments)

real estate agent: IT HAS FINALLY HAPPENED HERE IN CROMWELL, CT - 11/20/08 03:14 AM
I have been told that gas prices have been coming down... which I have seen too.  Connecticut though as one of the highest state tax on gas, that seeing prices as low as other parts in the country seem very unlikely.. until today.
Here in Cromwell, CT at the Mobil Station on the corner of Route 3 and Route 372 made history today.  I was passing by, and did a double take, and also a U-Turn to take a picture of this.  The woman was literally in the middle of changing the price from $2.09 to.. ready for this... $1.99 a … (15 comments)

real estate agent: HALLOWEEN TRIVIA QUESTION - 10/27/08 02:11 AM
 HAPPY HALLOWEEEEENNNN
Does anyone else find this happening to them.  You blink, and a week has gone by?  Well, that happened to me last week.  The weekly Tuesday Trivia never happened... before I knew it, it was Friday (my computer got a virus) and the week was gone.  So, I apologize for not having the weekly trivia last Tuesday.  With this, I am doing one today, Monday, a day earlier... this time, the answer is NOT a year.  Hmm are you curious???
Since it is the week of Halloween, this is what the trivia question deals with.
