Today our Charlotte Regional Realtor Association had its annual installation luncheon for officers and board members (I’m one of them). It is a gathering of Realtors to also hear comments on what has happened in the past year and what we hope will happen in the coming year. As you might imagine, lots of us feel [...]

After our meeting of Citizens for the Troutman Library last night, we got the opportunity to go to the library building and look around.

Saw this on CNN today. It helped me remember that we have seasons so that we can appreciate each one. This video is from Norway, but it could just as easily be in Mooresville, NC (well, without so much snow).

While sending out a “Happy New Year” email to friends on New Year’s Day, I wished them “health, happiness, and maybe a bit more prosperity.” This past year has been pretty rough on lots of folks, and wishing people a bit more prosperity is certainly not a stretch.
