A tasty combination of an upscale casual restaurant complete with a winery, tasting and gift shop is what you will find at Cooper's  Hawk Winery and Restaurant, a new addition to the Brookfield area in Brookfield Square shopping mall located at the corner of Bluemound and Moreland Roads.     We had heard about this unique concept including a wine club....and had to try it ! Our neighbors joined us for this new addition to Waukesha county eateries....and we began our evening with a trip to the bar and a stroll through the winery....Cooper's Hawk has won awards for some of their wines and chooses a selection from west coast vineyards to make their own special label delights.  The red feather is their trademark logo found on labels of the  dozens and dozens of bottle displayed thoughout ... 10/31/2011

Another fine Brookfield Wisconsin home has been sold by April Hayden-Munson.  Brad and Teresa are very happy clients, they are now on there way to another page in their book of life, after getting their closing check from their Brookfield home.   They are second time clients of mine and the last thing they said to me after closing was "We can't thank you enough for all your hard work in helping us sell our home.  We hope to return to Wisconsin again some day and you will be our go to person to help us with a home." Brad and Teresa were referred to me from another happy client in Wauwatosa Wisconsin.  Teresa's cousin bought a home a couple years back with my assistance.  I do most of my business by referral.  I have many happy clients and always appreciate their referrals!

The wonderful community of Brookfield, Wisconsin welcomes it's newest residents, Christina and PJ!   They closed on their new home yesterday and despite having cold and flu symptoms, they can't WAIT to start moving in!

The concept of Paying It Forward is not new. Humans have been paying it forward for generations in all sorts of ways. One of my most personally rewarding ways of Paying It Forward is by gardening. Autumn is a dichotomy for me. The spectacular beauty of the trees changing colors and the brilliant blue skies make moods soar into outer space with over-stimulated joy   - contrasted with the somber greys of the rain days... the fog... the bean soup simmering on the stove and the cornbread browning in the oven. The big fat novel waiting in front of the fieldstone fireplace for the winter read. It is in these days that the Optimistic Gardener awakes. The vision of blossoms bursting forth through frozen tundra in scant sunlight... the allure of wild, colorful Springtime blooms is too much to ig... 11/19/2010
