Planets in proportion to the sun ~ a necklace that I would wear.  The only problem here is that if the clasp is at the back of your neck the earth would be at the back of your neck, you would probably only be showing off Uranus and Neptune.  Sorry, but I can't see this one being worn....  Pretty? Yes!  Practical to wear? No..  This one is Gorgeous!  I would wear these a lot!  Beautiful 18K Gold Dragon Fly, Bee, & Butterfly.  My favorite.   The Milky Way Galaxy.  Not for me as a piece of jewelry, but on display, love it!    The one displayed on the table is Desert Storm:And the one hung on the board is Huntsville Tornado: Last but not least... the one on the table is California EarthQuake.  The one hung on the display board is Tiananmen Square.   Don and I had visited the Space & Rocket ...

Huntsville Space & Rocket Center RV Park Yes, the Huntsville Space & Rocket Center has it's own RV Park!  Call to reserve a spot and Dennis will answer the phone.  If you get there after 4:45 pm, you will find a note on the door telling you which spot to park in and you leave him a check in the drop box.  If you get there before 4:45 pm, you'll meet Dennis and have a nice conversation.   He will tell you how to walk to the Space & Rocket Center without having to take the much traveled road.  See the trail in the edge of the trees from the Park to  the back of  the Center,  in the map below? Takes you to the back parking lot of the Huntsville Marriott.  The Space & Rocket Center RV Park only has 27 spaces, so hopefully you'll be one of the lucky ones like we were and get a spot.  The spa...

Huntsville Alabama Named "Best Affordable Place To Live"A few days ago I received a message from John & Debbie McCormack out in Albuquerque, NM that included a link to a news article about the Huntsville, Alabama area. I have to admit that I'm a little embarrassed that I didn't catch this before Debbie, but since she's from this area I'll cut myself a little slack.  So, John & Debbie, I thank you.Check out WHNT's report on Huntsville's latest honor.It's no wonder that Livability.com has voted Huntsville, Alabama the best affordable place to live! When I moved to Huntsville, Alabama 9 years ago what first caught my attention were the low real estate taxes...go figure...I'm a real estate broker! Anyway, I bought a comparable home here in Alabama to the one I own outside the Chicago area a...

The latest MLS activity I could find on 705 Hal Street were two sales in 2004. It sold for $37,500 to a local realtor. He resold it a few days later to one of his clients for $62,900.   New Century Home Solutions is a guy in Meridianville, JOHN DUNST. I don't know what he is asking for the house but there was a house down the street that sold for $42,500 last April after 358 days.  Homefacts.com has the house listed as a former drug lab house. There are health concerns about living in a former drug lab house and I would be concerned about visitors that know the house as a drug house.  I do have concerns about the neighborhood. I know Schools aren't an issue for you but you can find out about a neighborhood by looking at the schools that serve the area. Here is ranking and some statistic...

The Friendship Bridge...My Wallpaper I've meant to retake this photo for a long time and now that more people are likely to see it than normally would as it's hidden away in my office. I'm a little embarrassed to post it and that I still haven't paid the "Friendship Bridge" another photographic visit.The "Friendship Bridge" is one of the more recognizable features in Big Spring Park, downtown Huntsville, Alabama. It was a gift from the Japanese people and specifically Major General Mikio Kimata to the city of Huntsville for its hospitality during the Generals attendance at the Redstone Arsenal's Guided Missile School Program during the mid 1960's.To me, the Friendship Bridge speaks to the character and diversity of the city.  It's a reminder to me that Huntsville attracts people from ar...

       Calculate Your Mortgage Payment There's no shortage of ways to calculate your mortgage payment, the Internet is full of mortgage calculators to calculate approximately how much a mortgage payment will be. Click on any mortgage calculator—such as this one on my personal website, this one at Bankrate or this one at the Mortgage Calculator — just enter the relevant numbers and check out the results. You’ll see a box to plug in the mortgage amount, interest rate, term (in months) and start date. The result will give you the principal and interest portion of your mortgage payments amortized for the life of the loan, typically 15 or 30 years. However, you won't see or be provided with what the loan will actually cost you and more importantly you won't know if you will actually qualify...

How Your Credit Score Affects Buying A HomeCredit ScoreKnowing how your credit score affects your ability to purchase a home and steps to take to improve or maintain your credit is an extremely important factor when buying a home. Many home buyers often operate under the assumption that they can afford a home based on what they are currently paying for rent, but soon learn they can't secure a loan or need to lower their expectation of what they can actually purchase because they don't understand credit scores have on their ability to purchase a home.Most have heard of or are somewhat familiar with FICO or Fair Isaac Corporation which uses an algorithm to determine your credit score. It does not show what you can afford, your ability to save or how you budget, but it does show you the co...

Buying A Home, Is It Right For You? Is Buying a home right for you? It will most likely be one of the most important decisions you'll make and knowing if or when it's right for you can be key to your financial future. For some, buying a home can make financial sense in their twenties or as empty-nesters and anywhere in-between.Buying a home or deciding if home ownership is right for you is not entirely about your ability to pay. With home ownership comes responsibility. And that means you, the homeowner are responsible for maintenance, repairs, taxes, insurance and lets not forget the mortgage repayment! If a pipe breaks you either have to make the repair yourself or call the plumber...you no longer have the landlord as a source to call...you are the landlord! Because you can afford to ...
