Today I took a much needed day away.  My office was covered and I had my cell phone and did manage to do a work around for a buyer who could no attend a closing tomorrow.  He went today to sign his documents at the attorneys office.  I also did a full day of shopping.  There's father's day on Sunday and my Abigail is  having a birthday next week.  Of course I also got some office supplies for the office as well. And when I arrived home I was just too tired to cook and so we headed out to downtown Milledgeville for one of my favorite places to eat.  And what a treat.  It was lady's night and my drinks, dinner and dessert were all 20% off.  I had teriyaki shrimp and Donald had hibachi steak and shrimp.  But we did save room for dessert tonight.  It's my favorite thing and I always eat eve...

Lake Sinclair was completed in 1953 and belongs to and is controlled by Georgia Power.  It also has a dam on the north end of the lake that backs up Lake Oconee.  This sister lake is why and how our lake stays full in drought situations.  Water is pumped back and forth between the lakes on a daily basis. The main flow of water for Lake Sinclair is the water from the Oconee River, but many smaller rivers and creeks also flow into Lake Sinclair: Little River Murder Creek Crooked Creek Cedar Creek Potato Creek Buck Creek Rooty Creek Cold Branch Rocky Creek Nancy Branch Reedy Branch Flat Rock Branch Island Creek Sandy Run Cattail Branch Jenkins Branch Shoulderbone Creek We are fortunate enough to have many lots and homes that own their proeprty right down to the water and then of course the...

NUMBER OF HOMES SOLDPRICE OF HOMES SOLDDAYS ON THE MARKET The data* for the current market on Lake Sinclair is good news all around unless of course you are one of those sellers holding out to sell your home at 2006 prices because that's simply not going to happen.  But homes priced correctly are moving quicker.  For the first time in 3 years our average Days on the Market has shifted to below 100 for Lake Sinclair homes.  Volume also hit a 3 year high for number of homes sold on Lake Sinclair in a single month.  And while the average price is 67% below the high mark for the past three years it was up over last month.I am not screaming "RECOVERY", but I do see a shift to a stable market instead of a declining market and for me, that's good news.  Additionally 4 Lake Sinclair homes have ...

WHERE:  MILLEDGEVILLE MALL WHEN: APRIL 28, 2012 Noon to 5:00 pm WHY:  Give a pint to save life   Me I am a little afraid of needles, but you know what I have my 8 gallon pin from the American Red Cross and on April 28, 2012 I'll be adding one more pint to my count. I'm not among the universal group with O- but I do give.  I used to be very regular with my donations when my former work place played host four times a year, but not so much the last few years.  But I need to get back in the habit of giving.  With my daughter working as an EMT and hearing the stories of trauma just reminds me all the more how important this gift of life really can be for a family.  So head out to Milledgeville Mall on the 28th and do a little shopping then stop in and give a pint of life.  They will give you...

Golden Dragon Acrobats to perform at Georgia College. (photo courtesy of Golden Dragon Acrobats) I love, love, love Cirque du Soleil. It is the most captivating two hours whenever I get to go see a show. Can't wait to go and see "LOVE" in Vegas. It's on my to do list. So when I first heard about The Golden Dragon Acrobats the sound of their act reminded me of Cirque du Soleil and I was instantly intrigued. They are coming to perform in Russell Auditorium at Georgia College in Milledgeville on April 5th! This group has been recognized throughout the U.S. and the world for their emaculate presentation of this time honored Chinese acrobatic tradition that has been around for more than twenty-five centuries. The show in Milledgeville begins at 8 p.m. on April 5th and you can get your ticket...

You don't want to miss the March 10th 2012 Fall Line Farmers Market in Milledgeville, GA. I did miss the Saturday they held in February and when I read about it after the fact...

Confused?  Let me clear that up for you.  My Donald asked what I want for my birthday.  So I decided today when I was looking to see what was happening around Lake Sinclair so I could decide.  There is going to be a Civil War lecture on Wednesday.  It's going to be held here at the former Governor's mansion.  During the civil war Milledgeville was the capitol of Georgia.  It will be Wednesday March 7th at 6 p.m.  And while I like history a lot more now than when I was a student and hated it, it's not what I want for MY birthday date, but I am going to tell my Donald.  He may want to tack it on to his bithday... since it was just last Friday.  And if he does, I will certainly treat him.  I love to go to the Governor's mansion.  One of our frist dates was to a dinner theater and we got to...

In Georgia foreclosure can happen relatively quickly.  The homeowner gets three months behind in his/her mortgage payments.  The bank sends a thirty day notice of foreclosure sale (as required by Georgia law), assigns the property to a foreclosure attorney, and starts advertising the property in the designated county legal newspaper for four weeks prior to the foreclosure sale date.  In Fulton County the legal newspaper is The Daily Report. In month five the Georgia property is at the county courthouse steps on the first Tuesday starting at 10AM with very few exceptions.  Once its sold (either to a cash buyer or back to the bank), the deed is updated to reflect new ownership.  The homeowner gets a visit in month six from a bank representative with a notice to vacate.  If the homeowner d...

I look forward to the mail that arrived today every year.  It's the announcement of the student theatre season for Georgia College & State University.  I've already picked out my favorites and will be ordering tickets as soon as I check my husband's schedule for which day of the performance he is off work. My picks for the season are: The Nutcracker Doubt The Wedding Singer Of course they are also having a Thursday night film Series in the Campus Black Box Theatre and one of this year's showing will be Gone with the Wind.  It's been ages upon ages since I've seen it and while I know I saw it on the big screen I was a girl and I'm excited to be able to do so again.  I have a special family connection to that movie, so I will have to make that a must see on November 17th.  You see my Grea...

If you ever read my blog before you might know that I adore my nearly perfect husband. From time to time when I have a really busy and stressful day my Donald will take me to dinner.  One of my favorite places for an occasional dinner out for us is Asian Bistro and Grill. We always loved it, but they sealed the deal when they added desserts to the menu. There's one night I don't like to go.... Tuesday. The prices are great.... it's dollar appetizer night, but that brings out the college crowd and well, I'll just pay more and go on a different night.  For those of you familiar with downtown Milledgeville it's three doors left of "The Brick".  If you haven't been downtown in a long time, it's below my old college hangout "The Opera House".  I bet I would have loved Tuesdays back in the 80...

I recently had the pleasure a meeting a "local" artist.  I have to qualify local, because Stephanie Scott is from Milledgeville, Georgia, but it's currently not her full time home.  I was quite taken with Stephanie's art in the few minutes I got to look through some of it.  She's currently packing up to head to California (which is where she lives the rest of the year) I purchased this water color from her.  Isn't it beautiful?  I also purchased a etching of a view of Lake Sinclair.  I can't wait to get it framed and hung at my office.  You all know how much I love Lake Sinclair and it's awesome to have met an artist who has captured in an etching that love that I feel in a view from her parent's Lake Sinclair home.  I fell in love with it from the moment I saw it. She also produces car...

I'm so excited about a Kroger only being 7 miles from my house and 5 miles from my office. If you grew up in the rural south like I did it mean driving EVERYWHERE and still does.  Some part of the county you actually need to get in your car to visit your closest neighbor... we host lots of farms here.  But the closest super market has always been a half hour drive from my house.  Which means in summer you need to take a cooler or you get home with runny ice cream and milk that doesn't live to its posted expiration date.  So I'm super excited about a Kroger that will be out at the Lake Sinclair area.  I've read in the latest news article about the New Kroger that it will be adding 78 new jobs to Baldwin County.  Over the past 5 years 4 or the 5 prisons and a couple of manufacturing plant...

The Sleep Center- The BEST place to purchase a great night's sleep. I recently sat down with Chris Knowles, who happens to be a friend of mine, for a chat about fixing a guest bedroom at my house when Abigail finally moves out.  You always of course have a to keep a room for your kids to come back and visit.  I'm not quite sure when she will be moving out so I am just in the looking stages so I stepped aside when a buy right now customer came into the store and got to see Chris at work.  He certainly knows his stuff.  Warranty is key to knowing the quality of a mattress.  A 2 year warranty vs. a 10 year warranty may mean you spend that money once in ten years or a little less 5 times in 10 years.  Which seems smarter to you? I personally used their handy dandy lay-a-way plan several ye...

I can't say that I've ever been UNHAPPY with the service department at the Milledgeville Toyota dealership.  They have always done a great job with my car and I've been taking my 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid there since the day I bought it.  But yesterday... they were better than fabulous. I had planned to take the day off.  That didn't happen.  Time was getting away from me and I needed to get to the hospital to my mom and get there in time to take my daughter her uniform for work. I'd realized earlier in the week two maintenance issues with my car.  I discovered one of my low beam headlights was out and I REALLY new new windshield wipers. And the weather man was calling for rain today.  And so I called the service department to explain that I really needed the headlight and windshiel...

There used to be a time when I would sit in the floor and wrap Christmas gifts for hours and still feel great.  Now I can hardly get down in the floor to do the wrapping, much less do it for hours and be able to actually get up.  And I'm so not a fan of "bags".  So this year I think I'm going to take advantage... while helping someone and have it done for me. And if you don't want to have all your gifts wrapped at the mall, you can donate in other ways...  Maybe spend an hour or two of your time wrapping or stop by and donate a few rolls of wrapping paper.  Brenda has ALS and proceeds will go towards medical expenses. Bring your gifts to be wrapped for a donation. All proceeds go to Brenda McDade. We will be at the Milledgeville Mall every Saturday and Sunday till Christmas. So I will t...

I don't even know just how old the analog television that we'll be taking to the dumpster is anymore.  Some time ago I just lost track.  I know it weighs about a hundred pounds.  But when it died a little (it was only about the top 1/3 of the screen that died) and we went and ordered a new one... we looked at the old entertainment center and shook our heads and knew it wouldn't do.  The new television on "order" would not fit.  And of course since we were having to replace it... we thought we'd get one tall enough that our little baby puppy Glen couldn't get in the way.  As you can tell, Glen might block your view if he wasn't being a good boy and listening when you say.. Lay Down. We also have quite the collection of movies and television series dvds.  So with that in mind I called the...
