When listing homes, a common question we get here in Texas has to do with a swimming pool adding value to a home.

And, those of you who live in climates where swimming pools are not a common thing, you may not get this question often.In my market in North Texas where our summers are blazing hot, swimming pools are very common. However, not all pools are created equally. There are many factors to consider about homes with swimming pools.ASPECTS TO CONSIDER WITH A SWIMMING POOL:☀️ If you enjoy swimming, tanning, water sports, etc. a pool in Texas is always a great option. ☀️ Make sure and consider the space you have in your backyard to determine the size and scope of a pool.

Memorial Day Weekend 2025, the Start of Summer in the North-woods, and More. Well it’s the eve of that weekend that many people up here wait for all spring, Memorial Day. The roads are packed with happy tourists North-woods bound, with trucks, campers, ATV’s and all the toys of summer. A few foresters at WMS are going to be busy this weekend too, visiting with clients who are making this exodus to the north to visit cabins that they don’t see too often. It is a joyous weekend for many as they celebrate the end of snow and though the lakes are still a little too cold to swim in, they are nice to look at, paddle a canoe in, and maybe even catch a few fish in. Today people in our area are getting ready to plant corn in the garden, I am a little apprehensive about planting this early since... 05/23/2025

As Memorial Day approaches, we pause to remember the courageous men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Their service and valor are the foundation of the freedoms we hold dear.Throughout our history, individuals from all walks of life have answered the call to serve. They left behind loved ones, dreams, and the familiar comforts of home to face extraordinary challenges. Their bravery and commitment safeguarded our liberties and shaped the course of our nation.These heroes were more than soldiers, they were sons and daughters, siblings, friends, and spouses. They carried hopes and aspirations yet chose to place duty above self. Their personal sacrifices remind us that freedom comes at a profound cost.We owe them more than words can express. Their legacy compels us t... 05/23/2025

The dilemma so well illustrated in Timmothy's cartoon above is a very common one in a climate that has long Springs and Falls with wild swings in temperatures like we have in North Dakota.I'm sure that none of us wish to waste energy as we know it will hit us in the pocketbook on the next months bills. We are currently in that time frame where it may be close to freezing in the morning and in the eighties mid afternoon.We choose, and continue to chose, not to have central air conditioning in our home for three major reasons.1) The cost of the initial installation.2) The cost of operation. While the cost of running central air is less then window operated AC units people tend to use central air when it isn't actually needed.3) Closely related to point number two is we love fresh air.

You all know the banana as the ubiquitous marketing mascot for this fun gal known as Anna Banana. But did you know that the mighty banana also can fight a host of illnesses and help you live a much healthier life? It's true! Read on to discover some of the amazing banana properties for yourself! According to a physiological psychology professor at Community College of New York, the expression “going bananas” derives from bananas’ effects on the brain.

My heroes wear dog tags.   For me, a true hero is someone whose purpose goes far beyond personal, financial gain or entertainment. Professional athletes may inspire young people and entertain the masses but are performanced-based participants, their pay is dependent on winning seasons. Those achievements are not heroic acts.   Same for entertainers. Tom Cruise went through rigorous, military training for a movie. It did not grant him military status, but was designed to prepare him for the role of a Navy pilot. Again, actors and actresses get paid millions of dollars to portray real heroes, who sacrificed 'their all' in real life. They are not the same! Unwavering dedication and willingness to put their lives on the line for a greater cause, describe military people. Their bravery and ... 05/23/2025
