I thoroughly enjoy writing about the once a year Celebrate Fairfax Festival. The dates for this years event are June 8-10, 2012.My wife and I have often attended and found it to be a very enjoyable event. This year should be no exception.   The Exxon/Mobil Children's Avenue is a playground of interactive events that you will want your children to explore. Of course there are Foods, the Trackless Train and much, much more.I am providing a link to the Home Page of the Festival. I hope you will take a moment to explore.Celebrate Fairfax 2012Celebrate Fairfax Festival 2012 - A Fun Time For The Entire Family

          Photos were taken with a  75 x 300 telephoto lens using a tripod. A tripod can help the clarity of your photos, especially when using a telephoto that does not have image stabilization. This particular lens is not of high quality and came free with the camera but it does nicely when a tripod is used.

Acacia / Wells Fargo Short Sale Approval Letter Penderbrook Sq, Fairfax, VA 12159 Penderview Terrace. Nicole realized her best option was to do a short sale. We did not have any problems with Acacia or Wells Fargo. We had some slight delays with both lenders but overcame both problems. Acacia did not want to start the process, so we had to escalate to the president of Acacia to get him to move this file along. Wells Fargo was fighting us because they believe our client could afford the place. She could but she no longer wanted it as it was upside down. We negotiated and got both of these banks to full approve the short sale and waive the deficiency. Short Sale FAQ's visit www.my1245shortsale.com

Many of my friends know that over the past few years, I've taken off about 52 pounds. I've done this through a change in lifestyle when it comes to eating and exercise.I had an interesting experience yesterday that could have been disasterous while exercising. I was doing my Aerobic Walking and my left foot stepped on the shoelace of my right foot. I was indoors and you guessed it, I fell and I mean, I fell hard! When I tumbled I hit a small table and the laptop computer went off the table and on to the floor. (It survived)Why am I writing this? Simple...... While I have a few aches and pains, I have no visible scars but it could have been much worse. I knew my shoelaces were too long and always double knotted them, but this time I had forgotten and as a result - I fell!So my words for ...
