- 05/19/08 05:01 AM
When one walks through the City of Delafield they immediately see that any new building has taken on a "Shaker" look, and old World charm. Some of the buildings in Delafield such as the fish hachery and more are old, but stunning just as well.
Like Oconomowoc, the City of Delafield sits on the shores of Lake Nagawicka. Every weekend there is something going on in Delafield. bazaars, craft sales, building tours, and more.
History abounds in Delafield. Dealfield, Wisconsin was originally known as the Michigan territory, and began it's settlement in the early … (7 comments)

tom braatz: Oconomowoc, Wisconsin: A City that is in the Heart of the Lake Country
- 05/18/08 09:43 AM
One can take a drive trough the City of Oconomowoc, located in Western Waukesha County and be amazed how beautiful homes sit on Pristine Lakes, and the Lakes surround this beautiful City. Full and History, and loaded with charm, Oconomowoc is truly a magnificent City to visit, and to work and live in.
The poineering and developing of Oconomowoc began in 1837 when the first white man, Charles Sheldon, came to this area to build his log cabin. He found that the Potowatomi Indians had already laid the foundation of what they called Coo-No-Mo-Wauk (where the waters meet, … (7 comments)

tom braatz: Waukesha County, Wisconsin. A lot of beautiful History: The City of Waukesha
- 05/14/08 03:57 AM
Years ago this City was resort City. People would come from miles around just to put their feet in the Fox river, have a mud bath at the Moor Downs mud baths, and the City was renowned for it's natural springs. It was deemed "Spring City"
Resorts were plentiful. There is a large bible college that used to house a famous resort on the corner of Arcadian and Hartwell. One really would have a hard time imagining the beauty that was Frame park. A beautiful park on the Fox river that had outstanding floral gardens, trelleses, ponds with fish, and views that … (5 comments)

tom braatz: Tom Braatz; Working even harder than a rented mule, but new and improved!
- 05/13/08 10:58 AM
Real Estate is an Industry where everyday you have to take a step back and look at the big picture. In the blink of an eye you can lose that important lead. We work in an Industry that involves rigorous time management and technology changes each day.
The concept of being personilized and creating your own niche is paramount, and really, why would we not just be ourselves.
I have been very fortunate to have some of the best customers and clients on Earth. Never under estimate the friendship that can devlop with having such customers and clients, let alone being … (7 comments)

tom braatz: Marketing your home for all it's worth: Determination of listing price
- 05/10/08 05:57 AM
As we prepare for our listings to sell sometimes the painfully basic initiation process can be the most important.
Recently, I was looking at a graph from twenty years ago. The graph was a parabola that had an ascending slope to a point where it topped off and went downhill. Downhill-an ambiguous word indeed. The graph explained that most buyers would look at and purchase the home within thew first three weeks. The assumption in this graph has certainly changed with the times. Variables are in place like economic conditions, supply and demand, and an adjusting market.
However, just as technology … (6 comments)

tom braatz: May in Wisconsin; America's Dairyland
- 05/08/08 04:25 AM
The slogan for wisconsin has long been America's Dairyland. Just take a look at any Wisconsin license plate.
May is a beautiful month with new growth taking place; the heads of flowers and plants emerging from the Earth and seeking to grasp their share of photosynthesis and photokinesis.
My personal favorite is when fruit trees such as apple, crabapple,pear, plum, pear, and cherry trees blossom. Never under estimate the tenacity of a plant. The plant will do everything it can the aaccomplish it's goal and have positive growth. This even applies to beautiful weeds.
Are you looking to grow, and possibly … (9 comments)

- 05/07/08 04:27 AM
An American Institution is building a museum. The legendary Harley Davidson is sinominous with quality. Ask some Harley owners and they will tell you they will defend their Harley davidson until their death.
In one case a woman was tired of her husbands infactuation with his Harley. When told he had to make a choice between his beloved Harley or her he replied " I am going to miss you dear."
The museum should be open to the public by the scheduled 105th Harley Davidson reunion.

- 03/30/08 08:12 AM
Every summer there is a tradition that can draw as much as a million spectators! It has to be seen to be believed. It is the Great Circus parade! It has a very long exhibit of animal cars for lions, giraffes, and every other kind of animal you can think of. The Great carts make there way down from Circus World in Baraboo, Wisconsin, and then they are at the Lake front. On the Parade day the animals from the zoo and afar are put into the appropriate wagons.
It really is a heart warming effect to see all the kids with … (5 comments)

tom braatz: St. Patrick day in Wisconsin; what a approach and method towards Identity change for a day.
- 03/17/08 03:52 PM
First of all, I would like to wish everyone in activerain, and the World, a Happy Saint Patrick's day.
It started early in my State. I saw a girl so drunk at noon today that she could not count her money at the register at Walgreen's. I really hoped that poor girl did not get in a car.
I saw some other guys singing Irish songs, falling over, or just about to, and they were not Irish. I think they were from Mexico. Everyone can be Irish for a day,and they sure were having a blast.
It never escapes me the impact that this Holiday … (0 comments)

tom braatz: ahh, Soon it will be Saint Patrick day and little ones will be spewing green beer everywhere
- 03/01/08 11:49 AM
Saint Patrick Day. I must confess. This Holiday has never made sense to me at all. IF he drove the snakes out of Ireland I am sure some came back.
And why does just about everyone get annihilated on this day. They put cabbage and corned beef , if they eat, in their stomachs, and then dowse it down with whisky, beer, and more beer. I see people get so damn drunk on Saint Patrick's day that they don't know their name. I am not kidding. I asked one guy "Who are you/" I got a uhhhh uuhuhhh aaahuuuhhhhaaaauhhhh. He had … (11 comments)

tom braatz: Three complete and Distinct climates: Mitchell Park Conservatory (The Domes) A Milwaukee landmark
- 02/28/08 09:56 AM
Wisconsin. Four magnificent seasons. All very beautiful, but Winter can be extremely cold, and lots of snow.
There exists a treasure that really has to be experienced if you are ever in the City of Milwaukee.
It is known as "The Domes" The Mitchell Park Conservatory. Three completely different domes: One Desert, One Tropical, and one reserved that is known as seasonal. The seasonal dome has Easter, Christmas, and many other displays and floral gardens. Incredible diversity of plant life. Besides being of extreme size, this vision of being able to observe and participate in different Botany Worlds really is something to marvel.
