(For those of you who are not following me.... why?!!!)
Anyway, my daughter and I have a very unique relationship. Lots of fun, lots of laughs, a little off beat humor mixed in, and loads of love.
So, with today being Father's Day, I decided that I didn't want another tie, … (7 comments)

Google Doodles, Peter Max... and My Daughter Laura. Another Proud Dad Moment...



For those of you who've been following my blogs, you might know by now that I occasionally like to play around with Photoshop.
You might also know that I'm a big fan of my daughter Laura.
Well, my dear readers, despite the fact that she'll often roll her eyes at some of the "creations" I've come up with over the years, Laura has taken a liking to Photoshop too! Go figure!!!
This semester at Apex High School, Laura has an Art History class.
Her first assignment was to create a … (73 comments)

laura rutman: A House Is Only a Building. A Home Has Love In It. - 08/21/11 07:23 AM
A House Is Only a Building. A Home Has Love In It.

When my little girl was only a yardstick tall, she told me that she knew the difference between a house and a home. "A house is only a building. A home has love in it."
That quote has always stuck with me. Not because my daughter said it. And not because she was only five years old when she coined that phrase. It stuck with me because it's true. And that's why, no matter what type of home or what price range my Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex area … (62 comments)

laura rutman: I'm Putting Everything on Hold Tonight.... - 02/22/11 08:18 AM
Well, my dear readers, it's been a long day. Two listing appointments (One I nailed and will be listing in a short while. The other, I'm not so sure about.), lots of client follow up, some commenting here in the Rain, and I ran around putting fresh flyers in my flyer boxes.Now, it's time to kick back.
But tonight will be a bit different.
No playing around with Photoshop.
No watching TV.
I'm even putting my endless quest of visiting every web site ever created on hold this evening.
But Craig, what could be so important that … (45 comments)

My Kid is in Heaven... I achieve Super Hero Dad status... and Adam Lambert Owes Me a New Sharpie!
 
A few days ago my little girl Laura celebrated her 15th birthday. And, for her birthday, she was given the one and only thing she wanted: 2 tickets to see her favorite performer, Adam Lambert, in concert.
He was playing at the Progress Energy Center, an auditorium style venue, right in downtown Raleigh.
I was given the dubious honor of taking her and her friend to the show, waiting until it ended, and then driving the two giddy little girls … (65 comments)

laura rutman: Happy 62nd Birthday Bob Weir! - 10/16/09 07:35 AM
Happy Birthday Bob Weir!

Bob Weir, best known for being a founding member of the Grateful Dead, celebrates his 62nd birthday today.
Weir, a singer, songwriter and musician, is, along with the Grateful Dead arguably one of the most recorded musicians on the planet!

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to meet Bobby on numerous occasions and each and every time he was most cordial. Whether it was backstage or poolside, whenever I saw him, Bobby always took the time with whoever came by, to talk, share a joke or sign an autograph.
If you’ve never seen Bob … (28 comments)
