Pat Kennedy - Home in the Capital

I took this earlier this week, and after today's big chill, it's probably a total goner!  This rose bush is down the street, and each year it blooms late into the season.  When I walk Willie, I like to look for some sort of plant life for a great photo, and they're getting really hard to find!  I...

Reading this helped me to really appreciate Barbara Todero and what goes into making her such an interesting and inspiring woman.  So read on!   I was just thinking about how fortunate I am to have found a passion outside of the world of real estate.  Real estate has always been a passion of mine...
