This past March I had the opportunity to attend the RE/MAX Convention in Las Vegas.  I had been to Las Vegas a few years ago for the NAR Convention but this was my first time attending an international RE/MAX conference.  There were agents there from 50 countries and I'd never attended seminars b...

There are lots of cat lovers on Active Rain.  I know that well as I've seen lots of great feline fotos over the past three years.  Some of you have met my dog Lola as she has been featured in an occasional post accompanying me on a hike or out exploring backroads Ontario. We have never had a cat ...

I love searching out and photographing old historic mills in Ontario.  Before I moved to Tavistock, Ontario a few months ago, I went online to check out old mills in the area.  About 15 minutes from my house, down Maplewood Sideroad lays the quaint village of Harrington, Ontario.  It's hard to mi...

I registered 3 domain names with Go Daddy a couple of years ago and I'm kicking myself for it now.  I've puchased most of my domain names through my Point 2 Agent website and have them automatically pointed to my homepage or a separate page I create.

Just a mile or so north of the only stoplight in Shakespeare you will find the Sha...

There's a blogger here at Active Rain that I have to give a shout out to today because he seems to be everywhere these days.  Rob Thomas comments on a lot of blog posts of the people that I also follow. He spends a lot of time leaving comments and in return Rob receives a lot of comments on his p...

Who do you wake up to in the morning?  Who do you turn on to help you rise and shine?  Do you like soft sweet sounds whispering in your ears or loud, heavy noise? Since we moved to our new community a few months ago I've been turning onChymfm to wake up to.  It's a lite rock station in nearby Kit...

The title of this blog post is probably dating me.  I don't  know if that term Avon Calling is even used anymore but it came to me as I was thinking of a title. I think it stems back to the days when Avon products were sold door to door.  Does anyone remember the Fuller Brush Man?  These door kno...

I saw this cute little piggy bank when I visited the Best Little Pork Shoppe down the road in Shakespeare, Ontario.  I happened to have my camera with me and thought it was worth taking a picture of because it got me thinking. I tried to think of ways to end the sentence.  I tried to think of way...
