SPOOKY SPIDERS: Here's something different for the little ones ages 3-5 to do for Halloween on Sunday, October 27, 2013. The Hawaii Nature Center will will go out in the Makiki, Honolulu, Hawaii area forest and glade and look for spiders and spider webs. What a great way to find out where they li...

One of the favorite places my two little grandsons like to go to is the Honolulu Zoo, Oahu, Hawaii. The family has an annual membership so they visit their favorite animals at least once a month. TREATS & TAILS The kids have been very excited picking out their costumes to go to the Honolulu's ann...

 This is the last weekend of the annual Pumpkin Festival. It's a fun time for the whole family. My little grandsons absolutely love to go to the Aloun Farms in Kapolei, Oahu, Hawaii for the annual Pumpkin Festival. The events include free tractor pulled hay rides which is their absolute favorite....

 This is such a hard challenge for me because Activerain's members that I would love to meet would fill a room. So I am choosing three who follow me and are closest to my office that I just opened in Carmel-by-the-Sea. Sorry, Tom Arstingstall, you are beyond the 100 mile limit I've set. Michelle ...

I say this because I am not one of those people who fixes things; in fact, during most of my life, I probably would not have recognized 99% of the stuff that Home Depot sells. REAL ESTATE HAS CHANGED ALL THAT. No, I still don'...

When is the last time you have networked with others to promote them? Thursday, I volunteered to h...

This is not just any old office that I have just leased, this is a Carmel-by-the-Sea office. There are expectations, ahem. And what images do you get in your head when you hear this name? Check out my last post, this is the city that was named #6 in the US that people want to visit. Lots of inter...
