Taking a Break

Taking a Break

What are you doing to improve the quality of life for yourself and your family?

Dolores and I are taking a break during November and December to enjoy our personal activities.  Many think this is hard to do in the real estate business.  Our associates at RE/MAX Realty Group are among the best in the business and they will be taking care of the real estate purchase and sale needs of our clients.  Yes, we are lucky. You may wish to make plans to take the same kind of break!

During the coming months, we may be spending more time on Flickr and Picnik than on real estate sites.  However, we will always respond to email of those that need real estate assistance in Maryland or Northern Virginia.

Please share photographs from your favorite places in the comments for this post.

I took  break and am now just getting back into my business.  I think sometimes it's good to step back and take a break.  :)

Good morning to all.  I appreciate your comments and support.

Janice:  Dolores and I were scheduled to go to Longwood Gardens for a long weekend and we had to cancel due to the snow storm. 

Have a great day and an outstanding November.  Be sure to have your camera in hand to capture those special moments.

Thanks so much for your comments.  Have a wonderful day!

We have perfect autumn weather in Maryland. Much better than the weekend snow!

That is great! I am thankful that you are able to do that. Many of us need the time to cherish time with our family and spouse. 

The picture below is one of my favorite places on the Eastern Shore and that is the beach! :)

Taking a break with your wife to enjoy your personal lives and things you enjoy sounds like a little slice of heaven to me.

Thanks so much for your comments.  I just returned from a two hour walk through Kentlands with my camera in hand.  We have a beautiful sunny day in Maryland.

We are fortunate to have beautiful Chrysanthemums in Maryland.  I have beautiful flowers on my list of things to be thankful for in this season of Thanksgiving.

We attended the 51st Annual Potomac Chrysanthemum Show at Brookside Gardens on October 22, 2011.  Photograph by Roy Kelley using a Canon PowerShot G11 camera.
