What's causing the traffic on 312? Each day just before I crossed the 312 bridge in St. Augustine, I noticed lines of parked cars. Now anyone familiar with the area knows there's not much in that spot to attract so many visitors, so what could it be? Being a careful driver, I didn't want to rubbe...

Saturday is Florida's Statewide Open House. I'm hoping to see a great turnout here in St. Augustine. Many thanks to the organizers of this event at both the state and local levels. Obviously there was a lot of planning, organization, and just plain hard work involved to get things together for su...

As a relatively new realtor, I've gained a lot of knowledge listening to seasoned veterans. One of the most useful tips I've received is to carry a tool kit in my trunk. In the kit, I carry several things... a tape measure and laser measuring device, a hammer, screwdriver, pencil, tablet, string,...

Watching the Olympic closing ceremony makes me sorry to see the games end. The US Olympians made us all proud to be Americans, and I'm certain the Canadians are very proud of their athletes and the 2010 Olympic Games as well. Congratulations to the Canadian hockey team on their hard fought victor...

Last night I read an entertaining (but educational) little book entitled, Fish! I decided to add this book to my recommended reading list for all those realtors feeling "in the slump." My first book was Somebody Moved the Cheese. Next I read The Secret, followed by The Law of Attraction. These tw...

While on my computer very late Saturday night into very early Sunday morning, I'm watching the Olympic speed skaters racing around the track. I admire their drive, energy, and athleticism. To my right, sprawled on the love seat, is my sleeping ShihTzu, Sophie. The pony tail is cockeyed, the littl...

On Saturday, Feruary 27th, the Scottish Games and Festival will be held at the Clay County Fairgrounds. If you never been to highland games, it's a great way to spend the day. Our family used to regularly attend the highland games in Ligonier, Pennsylvania every September. There were always booth...

Riders of all ages, sizes and shapes descend upon the area, boost the economy, and just have a good time. Northern Florida welcomes you, and ...

I've blogged before about living in a small condo complex. Last night we all went out to a nearby restaurant to celebrate Fat Tuesday. Many of the neighbors went and we all had a great time. We periodically have get togethers in our courtyard, at local establishments, and at various neighbors' ho...

Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras) is this coming Tuesday. It's the last big party before the solemnity of lent, the six weeks leading up to Easter. It's a chance for fun with friends, parties, beads, celebrations, rich foods and cake, parades, and whatever else one chooses as a way to celebrate. Our condo...
