If a picture is worth a thousand words, how many calories is it worth? This one? In the millions, nearly. Have you had your pi yet? Since it is National Pi Day, Hubbard Avenue Diner in beautiful downtown Middleton Wisconsin, is serving their delectable pies for $3.14 per slice. Can you say blackberry rhubarb? That is the one I selected. I think there is nothing better than pie and coffee for breakfast so we hit the diner at 8 am this morning. There is still time. Here is a … (7 comments)
middleton homes for sale: Blowing Up Your Parents' Basement: How Sputnik Affected Some Boys in the 1960's
- 11/07/10 11:33 AM
Things were amazingly different for us baby Boomers than they are for kids growing up today. No video games, no computers, no cell phoning Moms to check up on us. We were gone entire days in the summer until dinner time. My sister and neighbors and I played in the woods on an old dead tree covered with poison ivy. We followed our whims-going on long bike rides and no one knew where we were half the time. I had very strict parents but we were even allowed most of these freedoms too. It's just the way it was in the late 50's. … (0 comments)
I have friends who are: Driving senior citizens to the polls, their walkers rattling around in the back of the van, he transports them to the polling place and takes them back and picks up more (usually) ladies working the phones Volunteering as a poll worker Baking delightful goodies for workers and voters Knocking on doors to get out the vote Holding signs at intersections No matter how busy you are, no matter what you are doing today, make sure you let your voice be heard. … (0 comments)

middleton homes for sale: In Hindsight, We Did Better Than We Thought: It Sold in Half the Time
- 08/31/10 06:15 PM
This was tough. A 4 year old duplex condo. The sellers were upside down but needed to sell due to lifestyle changes and some of life's passages. We did not have "enough" showings, but everyone who saw it-nearly everyone-really liked it. It had new carpeting a beautiful family room with fireplace, 3 full baths and other a[ealing features. I personally visited every comparable as it came up. It was clearly the best unit in the area. Another unit in the association was a foreclosure and hurt market analysis with it's low figure. The sellers are wonderful to work with but we had … (5 comments)
middleton homes for sale: "Changing the Conversation About Real Estate" Still One of the Most Important Investments Any Family can Make
- 08/31/10 05:01 AM
I work out of the Stark Middletonoffice, and I feel compelled to share this blog entry from Dave Stark, President of the Stark Company in the Greater Madison Wisconsin area. I sincerely wish his remarks would be picked up by the national media instead of so much of the negativity we see. Dave has presented a very realistic picture of the status quo. Of course this picture does vary from market to market. Yes it hurts! A lot! If you bought when the market was at it's peak and now your home value has plummeted. But I tell my clients that we could … (1 comments)
What do you do when you have accomplished something great? What do you do when you've made that big sale? Finished a big project when everyone else had doubts except you? Or you did have doubts but you forged ahead anyway against all odds? Do you jump for joy? Just smile and move on? Simply cross it off the list and re-prioritize? Figure out what you did right? Pop the cork?
I worked in a sales office in Rhode Island and we rang a big bell when someone made a sale. A good friend plays a crazy song and dances … (8 comments)
middleton homes for sale: My Great Poodle Story
- 08/21/10 03:52 PM
When my ex and I were divorced, the Real Estate Market was HOT. I was never home for dinner and my ex had an apartment which did not allow dogs. It dawned on us that we needed a new home for Bisbee. We had thought we would just have joint custody. We talked with groomers and friends and thought we could find him a new home ourselves. After three heartbreaking attempts, I realized we would have to take him to the Dane County Humane Society. Here is Bisbee
For some reason that thought made me nervous. I was hesitant. We did … (8 comments)
middleton homes for sale: Magical Marvelous Blueberry Pie
- 08/15/10 10:21 AM
Those Michigan Blue berries made their way to Wisconsin this week. Two pints for $3.00. You know when produce is at its best, it is also the cheapest. We had the annual picnic for the Stark Company Middleton last week and because I have spoiled them in the past, they expect a pie from me for the potluck. I toyed with buying one at the Hubbard Avenue Diner, right around the corner from my Parmenter Street office. But, no! I went to the store in the evening an the blueberry shelves were empty! Totally. The next morning was the picnic and I was … (5 comments)
middleton homes for sale: How Much Is That Doggie In The Window Gonna Cost Ya?
- 08/03/10 02:41 PM
First of all, I am a dog lover and a cat tolerator. The worst part about cats is that I am allergic to them. The unconditional love and the desire to be part of my pack are two big reasons why I love dogs. They make me laugh, too. My ex used to practice his saxophone in the house, and my standard poodle, curled up by feet while I was blogging, would howl when Peter played the blues. The dog didn't have the blues and it was not a howl of protest, he was accompanying the music. Loved it!
Have Your Pi and Eat It Too!
