What Befalls a Realtor in Fall ... If the world was a stage and I were an actor...feeling like Shakespeare today I must say because what may befall one in this season of fall is a good sign!  Not only was an associate having extraordinary listing luck today but I as well in this RI coastal real estate venue..   It was a phone call to say that this couple was moving in with their father since he said he would not move out of his house.  He needed care and attention and he had the space for them to move in.  Being prepared in all aspects of the aging process is so important so that all the family is on the same page.  So can you come and look at our North Kingstown home to sell it?   Sweet ranch that was being cleared out as they moved out.

RIP my Dear Lil Bear You all know how it is...you become attached to your pets and then they need to leave you in life.  Someone said to me the other day we love them so much since they are not judgmental, always loving and forgiving and keep your secrets well.  If you do not have animals, you would not understand at all this feeling.   I had to make a difficult decision whether to prolong my maine coon's cat life with difficult breaths or let him go peacefully.  I chose the latter since it was better for him...than me.   An animal feels the pain of illness like we do and they deserve a graceful way to pass on.  The sweetness of this cat was amazing and his ability to let me know when there was trouble in the house was like a sixth sense.  He was a rescue animal that found his home in m... 07/31/2013
