localism: Cooking For My Dogs Improved My Diet!
- 01/05/11 03:33 AM
I LOVE to bake! So around the holiday season I usually bake hundreds of cookies and package them as gifts. BUT, I decided to do something different this year. NO Cookies! Well, that's not entirely true...let me rephrase...NO People Cookies! A 'Cooking For Dogs Cookbook' inspired me to bake homemade Dog Cookies for all the neighborhood pups. You have to understand, we don't have children, so I consider our dogs, our children! I cook for them all the time. I flipped through the Dog Cookbook (The Everything Cooking For Dogs Book by Lisa Fortunato) in search of at least two recipes … (6 comments)
localism: 2010 Southern Pines Statistics | Single Family Residential & Horse Farms
- 01/04/11 03:38 AM
Here are the 2009 & 2010 Market Snapshots for homes SOLD in Southern Pines. These numbers include Single Family Residential and Horse Farms. The DOM (Days on Market) are a little higher than you might expect because of the Horse Farms. Typically, a Horse Farm will take longer to sell because the Buyer's Market for that product is considerably smaller than the Buyer's Market for Single Family Residential. (Just a little common Horse Sense!) These numbers actually make me HAPPY! Take a look below, the Average Sold Price for 2010 was higher than 2009!!! That is a very good sign! The … (0 comments)

localism: Dear Mother Nature
- 12/30/10 02:55 AM
Dear Mother Nature, The snow you showered us with for Christmas was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! It's been 47 years since you thought about giving Pinehurst a 'White Christmas' and we are honored that you put us back up at the top of the list. Please don't take this the wrong way, but for future reference, a couple of inches of the fluffy white stuff would've had the same impact on us Southerner's as the 6" inches that you actually gave us. I'm just saying... You see..., I'm in the real estate business and most folks move here to Pinehurst to escape the winter … (2 comments)

The neighborhood backs up to the Pinehurst No. 8 Golf Course, formerly the site of the Pinehurst Gun Club, where Annie Oakley gave shooting exhibitions back in the early to mid 1900's.
