I had a client that was very interested in purchasing a property and wanted to go out and start shopping right away. "These are all the things that the house must have.... here is what I am willing to pay.... I have excellent credit so that will not be a problem... I will have to sell my house, but I want to find a suitable replacement first." Well, you might be ready, and almost willing, but you are not quite able at this point.

- 05/20/09 09:09 AM
While on the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer this past weekend,we came upon this beautiful surprise.It was showing all it's hot "pink" glory in honor of the event. Does anyone know the name of this tree? I believe Kimo Stowell has solved the mystery of the flowering tree.Thank you Kimo.It may be a variety of the Hawthorn Tree. Most of the photos I could find show white flowers, it could have been grafted with another tree, not sure. It is a very beautiful tree.
An interesting thing happened to me the other day. I stopped by to visit one of my favorite clients, and was introduced to a new addition to his family. A little puppy.You could see that a special bond had formed in only a few short days between the two. It was a wonderful sight to behold. She is a sweet little girl. An Australian Cattle Dog with red coloring and bandit markings on her eyes. Mind you, my client has become just as important to me as any member of my family. However, I had to laugh a little when he told me her … (12 comments)
