Challenge accepted. In 2011 Mike Cooper, Broker VA,WV, MD and I cycled for a few hours to save the tatas. This Spinning marathon was not only a lot of fun but also a very successful fundraiser for the Susan B. Komen foundation. In my prior life I was a certified Spinning® instructor and although I now only ride among the crowd vs. upfront, I still very much enjoy a good AMP'd up workout. When the chance presents itself to sweat for a good cause, even better! Sign me up!This Saturday I will be participating in RIDE of a Life Time at my local Life Time Fitness gym in Columbia, MD. Of course I had to sign up as a challenge rider and will be riding all 4 classes from 8 am until noon.This cycling event is a fundraiser for the Children's Miracle Network (nationally) and the Johns Hopkins Chil...

The Symphony of Lights has been a time-honored Howard County holiday tradition enjoyed by many for 27 years. Set in the historic Merriweather Post Pavilion and made up of more than 300,000 bulbs, this family-oriented spectacular is a dazzling display of larger-than-life animated and stationary holiday light creations.  Take some time to drive through this spectacular Symphony of Lights in Colombia, Maryland. My daughter and I did this as a Mini Cooper Rally and toy drive. Lots of fun and a lovely way to see the lights. Thanks for hosting Anna Banana Kruchten CRS CRB, Phoenix Broker and Carol Williams

It didn't take long for the perfect buyers to fall in love with this townhome on Wild Ginger Court in Columbia's Village of Hickory Ridge. We listed it in mid-March - before the wooded area behind the block was dressed in all shades of green, and before we could show off just how picturesque the view really is - had showings scheduled back-to-back, and had a contract in hand just 4 days later. Yesterday was Happy Closing Day - my favorite day of the week! This one is one for the memory books for sure! Not only did we have to adapt to the restrictions that come with a pandemic and stay-at-home order, but also finalize the sale in the midst of a severe weather advisory and torrential downpour. As is the norm right now, settlement was a split one, the seller signed during a parking lot clo...

A virtual shout-out to Race Pace Bicycles..  the Mini (a.k.a. my youngest daughter) adores her vintage-looking cruiser bike, and enjoys riding laps with her big sister while mom loops the parking lot. The other day though, cruising was cut short. The back wheel was acting all funky, clearly it needed some TLC - urgently. Race Pace Bicycles to the rescue! They are an essential business and fully operational, albeit with restrictions. I called to be sure, dropped the bike off an hour later, got a call back that same evening, and picked it up the next day. The entire experience was super fast, uncomplicated, and exceeding my expectations. Race Pace Bicycles has adjusted well to restrictions imposed and continues to be there for its customers. They've set up a drop-off area for all maintena...

Fall in love with this immaculate town house in Columbia's Village of Hickory Ridge! This warm and inviting home on Wild Ginger Court backs up to a wooded area, thus offering some privacy and picturesque views from its deck and patio below. Watch the deer that like to come for a visit or listen to the birds sing their songs while you enjoy a cup of coffee or fire up the grill.This townhome comes with a new roof (Nov. 2018), and a remodeled and upgraded kitchen (with white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and granite counters) that has plenty of room for a breakfast table. It has a fully finished walk-out basement with a large family room and a wood-burning fireplace to enjoy during chilly winter eves, a walk-in closet, and a full bath. Upstairs flows just as a nicely - the large l...
