I love living in my little 55+ community of Sun City Center.  We have lots of fun here, and although most may think we've been put out to pasture, that is far from the truth.  We are very active, and more than anything else, we love life.  I get a lot of emails from my "friends" and "neighbors" ...

Michelle Teeter I received this email from a friendly Mortgage Broker in our area.  She sends me updates on the industry and keeps me informed of what's going on in the market, with weekly emails.  A couple I have thought I would pass on, but never did.  That old fear of plagarism.  Since she ha...

LIving in Florida, we get a lot of good sunsets.  You don't always have to be on the beach to capture a good shot. Tonight I was sitting in my family room and I noticed that the sun was setting and there ware some interesting things happening as well.  I grabbed my camera and for the next half h...

tenerife playa jardin While visiting Tenerife, Canary Islands, we had the opportunity to stop for a break and a quick snack.  We were very near the ocean, and I hopped over and grabbed a few photos.  The sand was black and the beach and water seemed very rocky.  I later found out that it was cal...

seniors aren't senile A friend sent me this joke and I wondered if she wasn't trying to place me into the Senior Category.  Living in Sun City Center, a Senior Community, and just because I insist on getting the senior discount at the local restaurants whenever possible, doesn't mean I am a seni...

While leaving Las Vegas after a short layover from California, I managed to capture this shot of Lake Las Vegas. I recalled a concert I saw (on DVD) with Andrea Bocelli ~ Under the Desert Sky.  It was taped at Lake Las Vegas.  They built a special stage out over the water. The big finale had you...

Returning from my last trip out west, I took some pictures while flying.  I was fascinated with flying over what looked like the Grand Canyon, and the clouds above it and below us.   Later as the sun got lower in the sky, the clouds started to take on a pinkish tone. Somehow I managed to capture...

As I think about how to write this post, I'm also wondering just where I will post it.  Maybe I'll just vent.  Maybe I'll write about it but not post anything.  I can't tell you the jumble of noise that went on in my head after this, but I've calmed down and now I will rationalize. Here's how it...

In this tough market, our reputations are at stake all the time.  It's important to understand that what we tell our clients will help them to make major decisions in their lives.  I recently had an encounter that made me realize how important it is to "help" people make a better choice rather t...

I keep hearing the chant for change. I keep hearing McCain is 4 more years of Bush. I keep hearing about bubble headed Bush and his failed policies. I once heard Bush was so dumb, he didn't know which end of the phone was up. I'm ready for change. How bout you?     Oh.  Um. Er.   (Embarrassed ch...
