As you can see, I titled this blog Stan Suther’s Real Estate and Stuff because I think about real estate a lot, and I think about other stuff a lot. Today while scanning the news, I saw a reference to a video that’s being seen on YouTube by many folks, including students in school classrooms. [...]

While sitting there enjoying the breeze, I hear the familiar sound of a hummingbird coming to feed at our feeder hanging from the corner of the porch. I’ve been fascinated by these little critters for years and have had a variety of [...]

While shooting photos around downtown Mooresville, I happened upon two of Mooresville’s excellent firemen, Cam Ramey and Howard Overcash.

My Rhodies

I have 3 rhododendron bushes in my Mooresville back yard. Over the years they’d grown to be over 6 ft. tall and always gave us a jaw-dropping display of blooms around Mother’s Day. I really should have cut them back, but just couldn’t find my round tuit. So, when we went through the last drought, [...]
