It is really hot today in St. Charles, Missouri-heat index of 111-WOW!! Let it not be said that realtors don't go out of their way for their clients. I am finding that so many people do not have the slightest idea of where to go for repair of windows, electric, plumbing and drywall, the list goes on.  I feel so blessed that I have created many connections in the real estate business just by doing my job, real estate. Part of my job as a realtor is to connect people with people-sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but we just keep on trying to get the job done correctly.  Realtors want their clients to be happy with the choices they have made. So many deals are being put together-our office is all a buzz with activity and high hopes of a great year. What is more fun than finding ... 08/05/2008

Which do you like better Styx or Boston??  After attending a concert on Friday night at the Family Arena in St. Charles, Missouri, I feel the need to ask this question.  I went to this concert thinking I like Boston but was very surprised to find out I had already missed most of the best part of the bands. Due to circumstances beyond my control, we were late for the concert start time.  After arriving and getting our seats, it was apparent Styx plays music for the audience.  Everyone in the audience was swaying to the music, dancing and singing.  The members of the band were very fan friendly.  They put on a great show.  As Tom Shaw said goodbye, the stage was torn apart and set for Boston.  At this point, I am happy to be in the arena.  AND then it happens, they start to play....  Need... 07/27/2008
