  Stopped at Produce Junction in Bensalem Pa to buy some veggies to make corn beef and cabbage. When I walked in there were carrots and celery which I like to add. Picked up some baby red potatoes when I spotted this woman with an unusually beautiful plant. I was so taken with the color. We started a conversation I asked her what it was and how to take care of it. There was a bit of a language barrier but we did communicate quite well.  She guided me to where the plants were the sign read bromeliad. No light she said. Flower in middle put water every few months. Sometimes bring in the bathroom when you take shower. I picked one up and talked to it. She said good you talk it will grow for you.  I Loved the colors and decided to look it up on Google when I got home  No one who worked ther...

 Last Monday I received sad news about an appraiser I have known since the first day I started Real Estate.  He had passed away  A short man with a big heart Irving Geller everyone called him Irv Geller    When I started Real Estate it was in a small Appraisal office that also did Real Estate sales. Irv Geller would come in the speak to Jack Lentz my Broker to talk about appraisals. They would get into heated agreements. I would listen to them and learn. One would say what is the difference I gave value all they had to do was repairs. The other would bellow it wasn't worth what they sold it for I cut the value no repairs. These talks would go on and on.  Later I moved to ReMax. When I had Irv as an appraiser it was like getting your father as an appraiser. There were never any worries. ...

 I am thankful for AMC $5 Tuesday movies .  I enjoy going to the movies but don't always make the time . Knowing that on Tuesday I can see any movie I want for $5.00 motivates me to make the time .  One of my friends said you have to be a senior to go on Tuesday to see a $5 movie . I assured her she was wrong . It is $5.00 for everyone to see first run movies . All you need is an AMC movie card which is free .   There may be a day where I need to relax by myself . There be a Tuesday afternoon where my friends and I have lunch and get to see a movie that would have cost us twice as much any-other day of the week .  My favorite movie theater has the  reclining seats . I will say if you want to see a movie in 3D it is more money it is $8 but that is still a bargain price . You have awesome...

  Every state has different laws when it comes to laws about video surveillance and audio recording .With  new modern technology systems of nanny cams ,baby monitors ,security systems , and the like we are now hearing all kinds of stories  that we have never heard before . Sellers spying on buyers and  agents and the listing agents also  aware of the situation . Real estate licensees and their clients should  be aware of the nuances of video and audio surveillance laws to protect themselves from potential invasions of privacy,  in violations of state and federal video and audio surveillance laws.

 Today I shopped at Lou's Farmer's Market in Bensalem . I love their extra sharp provolone cheese among other wonderful selections of food . They also sold over ripe bananas for 4 pounds $1.00  . I will be making banana bread . A lady in the store told me she freezes her bananas . I did get to taste the most unusual tasty grapes . They were called cotton candy grapes .  They did taste just like cotton candy .    Looking for a good Realtorplease contact meHannah Williams RE/MAX eastern 215 953 8800215 820 3376

Bensalem Taxpayers and residents have you read this article?  How will you vote when you go to the polls in November ?  I found this article very informative .  Bensalem plans referendum on tax increase for fire companiesBensalem Township Council voted unanimously to add a referendum to the November ballot. Township residents will vote on whether to raise property taxes by 1 mill to fund local volunteer fire companies’ operational and maintenance costs. If the referendum is approved, the owner of a property assessed at the township average of $23,600 would pay an additional $23.60 in property taxes, said Ron Harris, chief of the Nottingham Fire Department. Council approved the referendum, but it is unclear whether Bensalem was legally required to put the proposed tax hike to referendum ...

  Where were you in 1960 ? I remember watching the trials on television as a young girl of Adolf Eichmann.  I had started to read books on the Nazi's and had scared myself  to death and was afraid to go to sleep at nights   What terrifying events how could people do such things to other people . I became obsessed with reading books on the Holocaust .  I find most people did not want to talk about it .   I went to see this movie during the week on a hot afternoon right after work thinking the movie theater would be empty . I was really surprised as almost every seat was taken .. This surprised me as this movie  did not get great reviews .I found  the capturing of  Eichmann to be riveting .It was a two hour movie and I was never bored . In the beginning I remember getting the chills  They...

"Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom"Summer Movie Now Playing AMC Preview Today we saw Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom  in our comfy reclining seats in 3D . I took my nine year old granddaughter . We were excited to see this movie .It was the first movie I have seen in quite a while  I was expecting to see a movie similar to the other Jurassic  movies . This one  was quite dark and more like a horror movie . Not as much fun as the other movies were . As the volcano erupted and the dinosaurs are running for their lives into the water the movie falls flat   Sound is always better in the movies  Tuesday is $5 movie  at AMC  $8.5 for 3D  Summer blockbuster movie yes but expected more of a story Are we ready for the squeal ?  Not So Sure
