The thickburger Beyond Thickburger is worth a try its a plant based burger so you wont be getting the puss from the regluar burgers along with antibiotics they pump them full with and the corn that they inflat them with, see King Corn documentary if your interested to learn more and why you might want to switch to plant based. If your not into animal cruetly then this burger is for you.    This is the option of the morning burrito from Hardees, with hash browns, egg, cheese, and beyond meat sausage patty. It is worth a try. This is all new to me to have a selection from a drive through of plant based, being vegetarian for over 20 years its nice to see selections everywhere now.    02/03/2020

     Beyond Thickburger, you can order it on the regular bun or the sourdough bun frisco burger. I have tried both, having an option at a fast food place is new to me. I have been a vegetarian for over 20 years and I try to support any chain that carrys anything I like that is plant based. I like these with ketchup, pickle, mustard, cheese. Hardee's, 3000 US-98, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459    You can also order the frisco for their breakfast sandwich lines with egg, beyond sausage, cheese.  They also have the burrito if you want something different in the mornings, they have beyond meat sausage patty and hash brown, egg, cheese.          02/03/2020

I am not sure where and when this quote was first uttered but it makes sense when you consider that more and more folks are adapting to an extended family life style.  This means that we have more families with several generations staying under one roof. It has happened in different cultures before we have moved to this in the United States.  It is not a bad idea becasue there is a certain amount of economy of effort here.  Need more room to grow, but not sure how to get started? I'm here to help – send me a message to let me know what you're looking for!  #baby #parenthood #houseexpert #realestate #listreports #realestateagent #realtor #millennials 01/27/2020

There's no time like the present, to buy a house, sell a house or start building a home. There is a difference between a house and a home but that is a different conversation we can have at a later date.   The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.   If you even have the slightest curosity about the journey of home ownership, starting to explore your options is that first step.  I am addressing this to those folks in every part of the journey from first time home buyers to folks interested in getting a second home or investment property.    #investment #HouseExpert #RealEstate #Realtor #ListReports #RealEstateAgent #HomeOwner 01/15/2020

The Holiday Season is fast approaching a close and we are getting ready for the Real Estate boom in activity that happens with the start of the New Year.  I don't really understand why we have this boom every year because real estate is one of those business that should hum year round.  We all have the same wants and desires but some how the priorities change depending on the season.  The Real Estate market along the Gulf Coast of Florida is still very strong.  Interest rates are low, the stock market is doing very well with the Santa Claus rally making the year end numbers very strong.  The talking heads on TV stress that there are large amounts of cash on the side lines, waiting to be invested.  This is the time to consider diversifying your portfolio with a Vacation/Investment proper... 12/30/2019

Scenic Highway 30A is actually 2 different sections of highway.  The most famous is  24 mile corridor that hugs the Gulf of Mexico coastline in Northwest Florida’s Walton County. Along this breathtaking drive you will see sugar-white sand beaches and rare coastal dune lakes. Scenic Highway 30A is a tourist attraction of major proportions. Winter time brings out the finest in this area as the owners may or may not chose to decorate thier homes in Holiday atire.  I crossed paths with this home recntly and wanted to share it in all it's grandure.  It is actually one of of the larger homes along the highway but it does demonstrate the trends as this area continues to develope and grow.  This area is an exciting and eclectic mix of hot colors and soft pastels, with architecture to match each... 12/03/2019

The good, the bad and the ugly.  Price, condition and location.  Motivated buyer and motivated seller.  These are all words or phrases that are used in the real estate industry.  And they do convey a lot of emotion about the entire process.  Buying a property can be very emotional, only topped by the emotions you feel when you sell the home that you have lived in for a while and brought up a family.  Buying a second home or investment property also should be thought of in a business type fashion.  What is my purpose for this purchase?  Do I like the location, is it a place that I would like to spend more time?  How do the price and condition complement each other? There are numerous shows on TV that portray the process of buying a fixer upper and seeing how those professional flippers/r... 11/05/2019
