Working On Memorial Day, Madison Alabama Thank you for the opportunities I have and that I'm able to work today. Well, here it is Memorial Day...lots of BBQ's, family get together, parades, spending time at the beach, pools opening, working and remembering those who gave there lives so we can enjoy our way of life...including the option of working today.  What ever it is that you are doing today...I wish you well and a great Memorial Day. It's in the 90's here, so working in a nicely air conditioned office isn't so bad, however, I'm not in a nicely air conditioned office...I'm in a mildly air conditioned Starbucks with blaring music...life is tough, but I'm not complaining...at least I've got coffee.  I'm sure you're thinking..."Nick, what are you doing working on Memorial Day and from ...

 The American Flag And How To Care For It This Memorial Weekend I happened to be thinking about this Memorial weekend and all the flags that will be displayed particularly on homes or flag poles in our front yards and while I've displayed the American at homes for many years, it occurred to me that many first time home buyers may not have a clue how to properly display or care for the American Flag.  Go to the sight below for more detailed information about caring for the American Flag. Memorial Day once known as Decoration Day is a day of remembrance for those who lost their lives in service to our Country.  This Memorial weekend will be filled with family picnics, parades, remembering those who paid with their lives so that the rest of us can enjoy our freedoms.  There will also be Am...

Buying Foreclosure Properties And Rights Of Redemption   Rights of Redemption is a topic I've had to explain more often than not these days especially because of all the foreclosure properties on the market.  Rights of Redemption are and well should be of particular interest to anyone considering the purchase of a foreclosed home either as primary residence or investment property.   Generally, there are two established types of redemption rights and vary by state.  Equitable right of redemption refers to the foreclosed individuals right to redeem his property before the foreclosure sale.  In order to redeem the property the owner usually has to make up any payments in arrears plus any associated costs and generally the loan is reinstated.  In some states the entire loan balance needs to...

What's Wrong With This Sign? On the road early this morning I passed by this sign and thought I'd share...so what's wrong with this sign?? In a town home to NASA, the US Space and Rocket Center, Space Camp and replete with more engineers and PHD's than almost any other place on earth you just have to smile at this sign.  Granted anyone can make a mistake and I know I've made more than a few, but when I came across this I just had to get a shot and share with my ActiveRain friends and the rest of the world.    If you need a knowledgeable real estate professional in Madison Alabama or Huntsville Alabama area, why don't you let me Google that for you!  I also know outstanding agents in all states and Canada should you need help relocating to a new area.

Update On My Laugh For The Day, Treasures Thrift Shop, Madison Alabama A few days ago I wrote a post about a sign that I saw at Treasures Thrift Shop titled; My Laugh For The Day, Treasures Thrift Shop, Madison Alabama.  It's about my cousin Jeff and his wife Mary.  If you haven't read it you might want to get filled in with a little back info...before you read the rest...it's short. So this morning around 8:30 am I get a call from Mary telling me that I'm not going to believe what she has to say.  It turns out that because of the above sign and I'll repeat here that it's a joke...the product of my cousins unique sense of humor...it turns out that the Sheriff showed up because of a call from a concerned citizen.  The sheriff was making sure that my cousin was okay and not in any danger....

Nineteen Years Ago We Experienced A Supermoon This is the night of the Supermoon, and the last time it happened was in 1992.  This is when the moon's orbit brings it closest to earth.  Tonight the moon will come within 221,575 miles of earth, it's perigee.  It also happens that earlier this month on March 6th the moon was at it's apogee, the farthest point from the earth at 252,639 miles.  Along with the spectacle in the sky of the full moon as always come higher tides lasting for a few days and because of the unusual closeness of the moon high and low tides are magnified...we're not talking Tsunami's just exagerated high and low tides.  Anyway the moon was pretty cool to watch tonight.   If you need a knowledgeable real estate professional in Madison Alabama or Huntsville Alabama area,...
