My Home is about making memories and I hope that yours is too.  These two boys, Davin and Christopher are my grandsons.  Their father, Philip, learned to cook in the kitchen that they now are learning in, when they come to visit.  There's been a lot of memories happen in this kitchen. It doesn't have granite counter tops. The cabinets are custom built by the boys grandfather out of pine and I wouldn't trade them for any other cabinets in the world, they were a work of love when he built them and that means a lot to me.  This is what HOME means to my family.    It means different things to different people.  If you've got a home to sell in McCurtain County or Choctaw County, call me and let's find that special buyer that appreciates your home.  If you're a buyer looking for a home in my...

New Rent To Own Coming To Idabel You can watch it go up.  Immediately across from Pizza Hut on OakBrook Avenue. It's exciting to watch the change on SE Washington.  This will change the business district somewhat and fill in the gaps on Southeast Washington Street in idabel Oklahoma. We had 23 acres listed immediately next to Wal-Mart and Pizza Hut.  We now have 22 available... There are still approx 6 acres that have road frontage on the busy Southeast Washington Street.  You can be in good company... Pizza Hut, Wal- mart. First Bank and Trust, Kentucky Fried Chicken. Lin Cruisine, and now the new - Aaron's Rent To Own.  They have been advertising in the McCurtain Gazette to hire for the new location. 1 Acre commercial parcels available at $95,000.

D V Fennell Bareback Rider - Final Night at Wrangler National Finals Rodeo - Oklahoma / Missouri Cowboy Wins a Third Place. It wound down last night... but it was a big wind down. D V came out on a horse named "Dirty Jacket".  That horse came out of that chute in a wild high jump but she didn't lose D V.  In fact that would have been a common spot for many cowboys to fail to mark their horse out because Dirty Jacket was high and had a twist in the middle of the jump.  It also looked D V's shoulder took a hit from the chute at the end of that jump that Dirty Jacket made.  D V marked him perfectly.  This mom was tense watching it.  I already knew his score because T V schedules were off last night and the broadcast always runs a little behind the actual rodeo... broadcast is a more conden...

I would like to tell the story of a GREAT referral experience I had with Judi Barrett with Integrity Real Estate. I had been working with a close friend of mine and his wife. I actually drove literally hundreds and hundreds of miles with these folks. They were searching for that "Perfect" piece of land with acreage, and water. Well after spending months with them, we found Nothing. Finally my client contacted me about a particular property in Oklahoma ... Well having only a Texas license, I did NOT want to lose them to an Oklahoma property, but they eventually were adamant about this property. SO, I had to make the decision to turn these clients over to someone in OK. That's when I contacted Ms Barrett at Integrity Real Estate Services in Idabel, Oklahoma. I must say , from the beginnin...

The New Library at Idabel Oklahoma is going to be such an improvement over the current one.  Located next to the City offices on East Main Street. Great progress has been made as the embedded street scene of the pad prior to construction illustrates below. Grand opening should be coming up soon. The current library is a little more than a block away.. it may take a while to move all of those books! View Larger Map

  Brown Addition which is located just east of Idabel, Oklahoma is an ideal community to live in if you want to be near town and yet enjoy the feeling of living in the country.  Homes in the Brown Addition (which by the way is so named because the developer was J.L. Brown) are mostly Ranch Style homes. Some of the homes were built in the late 70's and early 80's with some newer homes also in the addition. There are different sizes of lots with some being on small acreages.    The homes in Brown Addition are on the Idabel Public Water Supply for city utilities and have private septic systems.  Cable TV along with Cable Broadband Internet Service is available from Pine Net in Broken Bow, Oklahoma.   Denison School is located about a mile from Brown Addition.  Denison is a small elementar...

  We've had so much rain during the last 30 days. It is the wettest September that I remember in some time in McCurtain and Choctaw Counties in  Southeast Oklahoma. In fact it's been a wet July and August too. Usually during those months our grass suffers but not this year. The unusually high moisture content has given us...     FOGGY MORNINGS on the farm. I've been reminded of some of those old London movies.     .       Our average rainfall is approximately 50 inches per year in Idabel (the extreme southeast corner of Oklahoma) Extreme Southeast being about 20 miles from Arkansas and 20 miles from Texas.     So far, the year 2009 is ranked about the 50th wettest year during the period that records have been kept, 1895 - 2009.         The month of July was the 27th wettest July for tha...

Southeast Oklahoma has several days of rain.  Rain, Rain, Rain…. Endless rain.  Some places in S E Oklahoma have received as much as 20 inches of rain in the last 30 days.    Yesterday, I met a home inspector at a home and the power pole was on the ground, live wires included.  I called the home owner.  He had left just minutes before and the pole was standing when he left.  The home inspector did his job in spite of it.     The ground can only absorb so much water!  The ground has become saturated and somethings that are supposed to stand upright cannot do that any longer.   We had another rain storm in the middle of the night last night.  My power went out on the farm.  Hubby checked it out and one of our large trees had just laid down.  We have several Live Oaks on the farm that are ...

      The Common Black Rat Snake lives in many states including Oklahoma.  It can be a very beneficial resident because it eats mice and rats.  The position that you see this one taking is typical for the animal.  It often curls up and becomes motionless when threatened BUT sometimes strikes if someone provokes it.   I don't like snakes so my mind has to take control over the emotions when I run across one of these guys. The black rat snake is a non-poisonous snake.  I only paused to take this one's picture and then quietly walked away and left him alone.   The young ones of the common black snake do resemble copper head snakes and sometimes are mistakenly killed because of that.  If you do not live in an area where the black rat snake lives and are moving to Oklahoma, you will want to ...

Sweet, Sweet, Sweet!  I love the smell of peonies.   Every garden should have some for their sweetly fragrant smell.    These white peonies with large blossoms about 6 inches across are in my garden.    Peonies thrive and prosper in Southeast Oklahoma.  If you want to bring the fragrance of a flower garden into your home, clip a couple of these and drop them into a bud vase.  They bring both their fragrance and beauty in flower arrangements or alone.   Judi Barrett, Integrity Real Estate Services Our Name Says It All.

First Bank and Trust Did it Again! The property was an REO owned by the bank.  They had listed it with us about 60 days ago. The property is a great starter home on highway 37.  I presented my buyer's offer on Friday, the bank accepted the offer on Monday morning and approved the buyer for a loan to purchase.  Brock Whittington, Vice-President at the Idabel branch closed the transaction on Friday.    Brock and Judy Bond, Brock's assistant, did an excellent job of working out the details on this transaction to make it happen in short order.  If you're thinking of buying a house, call Brock to get pre-qualified for your loan.  580-208-2912.  Visit with him about the different types of loans that First Bank and Trust can offer you. Then call me and let's find you a house! Judi Barrett, Br...

Christmas 2008 has come and gone.  Many people, in addition to cutting their own Christmas Tree, go searching for Mistletoe to add to their holiday décor.   While the tradition is that anyone under the mistletoe can be kissed, that evergreen parasite with the small white berries is the “Kiss of Death” for your trees that it was clipped from.   Mistletoe is readily spread by birds that eat the white berries.  The berries have a sticky substance in them that causes the dropping from the birds (which contains the mistletoe seeds) to stick to the tree branches on which they are perched.  The seeds sprout and the parasitic plant grows by stealing the water and nutrients from its host tree. Some groves of trees have such heavy mistletoe infestation that even though they may be deciduous trees...
