    Beware of the Ashbury Hawk in Naperville IlllinoisI often walk my dogs in the neighborhood of Ashbury Subdivision in Naperville, Illinois.  They are over 20 pounds each and are great to walk and run with.  They enjoy the outdoors and the many parks, trails and bike paths around Ashbury Subdivision. They would LOVE to swim in the pond if I let them.When I notice the Hawk lurking around I appreciate the beauty of Nature.When the HAWK is in my backyard and my friends 8 pound Yorkie is over I am not so comfortable.  The Hawk seems to love my neighbors deck.My advice is that you should always watch your pets and keep them insight.  There are so many coyotes and wild animals in the subdivisions around Naperville, Wheaton and Glen Ellyn that is common to see them on a daily basis. Maybe it... 10/01/2012

I bought a scooter about 5 weeks ago.  I have been loving it.  My confidence grows with every ride.  It is the most fun I have had since I was a kid... Last night, while visiting a friend, my scooter had its first maintenance issue.  The headlight was out... What would I do?  Looks like we were having a sleepover... This morning, after an exhilarating ride back home, I started reading all I could about Kymco headlights.  Without any directions, I grabbed a screwdriver (a large phillips) and headed off to Autozone... I started taking my scooter apart in the parking lot...      It really wasn't that hard.  7 screws and the front panel comes off.  Twisting the circular thing gets you into the headlight... Fortunately, a large affable man who LOVED scooters approached at this time.  He owne... 09/26/2012

It was a rainy morning in Naperville, and I had a 10 AM appointment to show a home on the east side of  the city.  A great location.... Although I don't normally like to show homes on a rainy day, today would be different. I was only showing one home.  I was with a couple of friends who were also my very first clients.  I will always remember my first sale... We were seeing a home in the Rock Ridge subdivision in Naperville,  My clients loved the location and the school district.  From the outside, the home was very appealing, even on a rainy day... -a rainy morning in Naperville... They were looking for a slightly larger home, and wanted a quieter street.  As we walked in the door, I couldn't help but say "Whoa!"...

  Next Time It’s Game Night At Your House Ask Everyone What They Think It Might Cost To Live In The CLUE Mansion. The Real Life Clue Mansion: This Price Will Kill You |  by Kristin Crosier It was…Colonel Mustard…in the study…with the candlestick! Generations of youth have triumphantly spouted that phrase, or some variation of it, while playing the mystery-themed game Clue. The game many of us recall cherishing as youngsters has become a cultural icon of sorts–spurring a movie, video game, TV series, updated board game, and even a musical–with an equally recognizable backdrop of the infamous Tudor Mansion. While reminiscing about the good ol’ times spent playing the popular board game, we figured we would put a price tag on our favorite clouded-in-mystery countryside house. Just in case ... 08/05/2012
