        Pay It Forward and Support Your Local Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for Children   I support CASA of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, West Virginia.  Since this program became fully operational in 2004, 25 CASA volunteers have advocated for 167 local abused and neglected children.  There have been 105 children placed in permanent and stable homes.

Greenbrier Valley Theatre (GVT) presents "Nevermore"     GVT will present “Nevermore” on October 29th  and 30th.   The mystery surrounding Edgar Allen Poe’s death and his final days are the inspiration behind this enthralling and deeply human musical.  In a dream-like manner, “Nevermore” is a biographical sketch that uses the author’s own words to examine his relationships with the women in his life, revealing the emotional life that helped create one of America’s literary giants.

    When I went to the laundry room to start a load of clothes in the washer today, I remembered there was a contest going on about What's Under the Sink, proof that I  can blog about anything.   So, I looked under the sink in the laundry room.  You guessed it, I found Tide, bleach, woolite, and some other cleaning supplies.  Nothing exciting, but glad to see I had Tide to do my laundry, and woolite to wash my sweaters.  While separating the clothes, I started thinking of what we as real estate agents wear to work each day, and the type of fabric worn in our daily activities.   We want to dress professional, right!  When I lived in Northern Virginia, I received my real estate license in 1988 and worked for several different brokers in Alexandria, Falls Church, Springfield and Fairfax.  ... 10/18/2010
