Wandering through Home Depot in Port Richey, last weekend (I spend a lot of time in garden shops), I saw this lovely orchid. It's blossom is actually a brown color which sounds rather dull but it is really quite lovely. I couldn't buy it then because we weren't heading home and I didn't want to leave it in the car all day. I stopped by the next day and it was GONE. :( Posts you might like to catch up onBaby Giraffe at Animal Kindom Lodge-DisneyWorldA+ Accounting and Payroll Services A More Secure Facebook ExperienceSPCA Suncoast is Bursting at the Seams in New Port Richey, FLEpcot at DisneyWorld-Bambi’s Butterfly GardenThe Katelyn Foundation helps save children’s lives.Key Vista in Holiday-FloridaShayna the Kitten and the Gardenia AdventureLooking for Health Insurance-Modglin Insurance... 05/01/2011

Government Home Loans FHA/VA/USDA in Port Richey Florida are still being used in most purchase transactions. I specialize in FHA, USDA, VA Loan products. When it comes to less out of pocket expense at a rate that is competitive with other lenders such as the conventional types more people are choosing to go with the Govies; which are aka FHA, VA and USDA Loans.  However lenders are not always willing to adopt into practice the new programs being passed down byHUD. Lets just say it would appear that this particular program isn't being accepted with open arm's on main street so far. HUD recently launched a program aimed at helping people who are current on their mortgage loans; refinance to the lower prevailing rates being offered through FHA and VA Approved Lenders even if they are unde... 04/18/2011

PURCHASE AND REHAB YOUR HOME IN PASCO COUNTY FLORIDA WITH AN FHA 203(K) LOAN - Most home buyers are turned off at the sight or even thought of buying a fixer-upper; a foreclosure or an older home today. However, educated and informed home buyers are utilizing the FHA 203(k) loan to buy their new home and fix it up with no additional out-of-pocket expense. The FHA 203(k) loan is a tool that savvy home buyers, successful contractors, Realtors and mortgage originators have been using since 1978. An FHA 203(k) loan is very similar to the traditional FHA loan. The only real difference is that with the FHA 203(k) loan, the home buyer is adding money to their mortgage balance to finance-in any repair/improvement cost. Whereas the traditional FHA loan requires that certain repairs be done befo... 03/06/2011

"Dear Home Sellers in Port Richey Florida, I would like to show your home to two serious buyers.

However they do want to buy a home as soon as possible. Thank you for your consideration." Earlier today I showed some homes to some buyers.

Aldi in Port Richey Florida I mentioned on June 5, 2010 (when I wrote about Webb's Superstore in Holiday, Florida which has since closed) that an Aldi would be opening soon in Port Richey Florida.
