This is the first Saturday in a LONG time that I don't have something real estate realted going on. Last Saturday I was holding an Open House (gorgeous neo-French colonial style home on 3 acres...vividly and tastefully decorated...) and then I went to Indian Rocks to look at a home for a CMA (comparative market analysis - comparing the home against others to see where it should be priced).
The previous weekend, I was taking buyers out to look at Lake Wallenpaupack lakefront homes for sale. We drove all around the lake, and then even headed out to Fawn Lake Forest to look at a tear-down lake front on Westcolang Lake.
The weekends before - same dance, different song. Open Houses, property showings, going to the office. This is what I do, and I enjoy it! I love introducing people to Lake Wallenpaupack. I also love showing them the more quiet places, off the beaten path, so to speak.
But today - ahhh, today! I'm relaxing and enjoying my morning coffee while my son watches Pokemon. 
When I was a kid, Saturday mornings meant Scooby Doo and Underdog. At noon I could watch Land of the Lost, and later, Isis. Yes, I did say "OH MIGHTY ISIS" when playing, along with hundreds of other girls...here is a nice review/commentary on Isis with some elegant drawings of the feminine super hero.
Interjectory Thought: Is it a sign that you're getting old when you write stuff like "When I was a kid..."?
Later today, the kids and I are invited to a bowling alley birthday party. I'm eager for this because I need to practice for the big match this Wednesday night - our Weichert Realtors Paupack Group office has been part of a bowling league for the past several weeks (we make up 2 and a half teams!) Thank heavens, we SELL REAL ESTATE much better than we bowl, though we have a couple of hot shots at the office. I am not one of them. My average score is 60.
But I have fun. I don't take myself - or the game - seriously. Some people at the Gravity Alley where we bowl are startled, maybe even mystified, by us. We cheer each other for anything - if you hit one pin, that's worth a high - five. A gutter ball brings encouragement and cries of "You were robbed! Call 911!" We even cheer for the opposing team when they get a strike or conquer a split. We just want to have fun.
An older guy approached me last week and he said "You know, I used to bowl in leagues for years. But we never had as much fun as you guys do."
Amen! Life is too short, and there are too many things to REALLY worry about. So what if more than half my balls end up in the gutter? I know one of my buddies is gonna high-five me anyway.
Now, even though I'm still in my fluffy terry robe as I type this, and even though I'll be bowling (or trying to) later today, I can still show you some of the stuff that is for sale around Lake Wallenpaupack or in Pike or Wayne County - it's easy! Just click the links below! If you need more choices, visit my real estate website and search all the property listings. Find something you like & send me an email - or give me a call on my cell. I may be playing hooky today, but I'm still here for you!
Or, the heck with it - just go choose your own real estate search here.
Happy Saturday!
