Welcome to Kim's Place

Dawsonville, GA    Yes, it's that time again. Time to "do the maze"! Every year they come from the east, they come from the west, they come from the north, and they come from the south to visit...  Uncle Shucks Corn Maze!  Famous all over the Southeast, this 20 acre "agri-tainment" complex has ov...

Lesson One: Minutes and even mere seconds can make the difference in BIG ways. On the way home from a very short trip to the store last Sunday afternoon we decided to stop- no wait! - we even turned around, to go to a small produce stand and pick up 2 tomatoes for dinner later. Moments later, and...

Are you suffering from Doom Overload? Has it gotten to the point you would like to turn off the news and hear nothing but silence while your mind tries to assimilate the overload of information you are constantly being bombarded with? Specifically  I want to help you understand what is REALLY hap...

I was thinking this morning about writing today and trying to decide what to write about. I had so many things on my mind it was hard to decide. I often tell people that my mind is like clicking the channels up and down on the TV. It goes from one thing to another. Click..Click...Click...  I supp...

Are you like me? Do you get tired of trying to read through all the media hoopla to figure out the real bottom line? Does it feel like deciphering code? I'm not dumb, just lazy sometimes I guess.

Recently, a series of events involving "contractors" left me with this thought, " Are there any Real Professionals left out there anywhere?". I'm sure you have  experienced this as well. People who just don't perform or measure up to your expectations. Of course you can decide to never "use" thes...

I hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing holiday weekend. I think I discovered why it's called Labor Day. I moved over the weekend, and I did a lot of "laboring". Actually, I'm still not completely sure where all my clothes are, shoes, makeup, etc. You would think that after moving as many tim...

For a long while now, North Georgia has been facing terrible drought conditions. The Dawsonville area has always been proud of our beloved Lake Lanier. We have begged, prayed, and danced for rain over the past 2 years. But the water level has continued to go down...down...down.... This photo show...

Believe it or not, we only have a few weeks left of this beautiful green summer here in the North Georgia Mountains!  This is a photo I took of the river near my house. All summer you could sit and watch people enjoying the river in canoes, kayaks, and big yellow tubes. Screams of delight from c...

I've been reading many articles lately about blogging, how to's, advice, what to say, what not to say. I've read AR blogs protesting articles that are not strictly about real estate. I've read jokes, posts about family issues, romance stories, dog stories and much more. I have been asked by many ...
