I visited some friends today to discuss listing their home.

It’ll take them some time to get their [...]

The J. Hoyt Hayes Memorial Troutman Library will be opening this April. It’ll be here before you know it!

I’ll Have a Blue Christmas…
Posted in Quality of Life on December 24, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Well, only part of me is blue. My ankle-sprained foot is deep blue now. Looks nastier than it feels. It’s like I’ve got a touch of Smurf fever with that blue ankle. The rest of me is fine, though. I’ve got my daughters and son-in-law plus granddog, Max, visiting for the holidays, so my attitude [...]

The National Association of Realtors reported some positive news on home sales for November figures with sales being the best in 3 years. HERE is a Charlotte Observer article on this.

Bad Ankle and Good Goosebumps
Posted in Iredell County, Mooresville, Quality of Life, tagged Christmas music, church choir, live music, the messiah on December 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’m nursing a blue and swollen ankle after spraining it yesterday morning. I can’t even blame the icy conditions since I did it on stairs in the house while wearing my bifocals which are real foolers when looking down. Now, understand that the plan for the day was to work with my bride to ready the house [...]
Good Timing

Yesterday I wrote a post about businesses choosing or not choosing our area as good places to locate, and I mentioned the concerns of using tax and other local incentives to help the businesses decide. Today’s Charlotte Observer has an article in the business section about some of these deals that have worked out and others that [...]

How’s the Market Doing?
Posted in Catawba County, Iredell County, Lincoln County, Mecklenburg County, Rowan County, tagged housing market, housing market statistics, Lake Norman Real Estate on December 16, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Seems like lately, everyone I talk to asks the same thing, “How’s the market doing?” Of course, they’re thinking about the market in terms of their own location and home. So, even though the question can be sliced and diced many ways, I give them a broad overall answer that comes from data like that [...]
My Squirrely Neighbors
Posted in gardening, Mooresville, Photography, Quality of Life, tagged economy, squirrels on December 15, 2009 | 2 Comments »
While getting ready to head to work one morning recently, I happened to see some activity out in my back yard. It was a frosty, sunny morning, and my neighbors were hard at work- my squirrel neighbors, that is. One of the squirrels was under a big oak tree looking for acorns. He (she?- hard to [...]
