Until this year, I'd never been able to have a flourishing rose bush in my Towson home due to our shaded yard. We lost some trees, and now have a rose bush.

We have had some amazingly beautiful weather here in Baltimore for the past few weeks. 70's-80's in MARCH! Sometimes we are digging out from major snowstorms here during this time period. We had a very mild winter, for which I am very grateful. I used to like the snow, but ever since we got those huge storms with 2 feet each within a week "Snowpocalypse," we called it, I no longer appreciate the stuff. Today, I have to laugh, because after these two weeks of wonderful weather, we have fog, rain, and it is chilly. (Even if the "chilly" is normal temperature for Baltimore!) In my mind, the verse, "Rainy Days and Mondays Always Get Me Down," started playing through my head. I began to laugh at myself because I really did appreciate those great days, and we need rain. So, remind me to appre... 03/23/2012

About a year ago, I decided I needed to post more here on ActiveRain, because I learn so much from others on here. I enjoy reading others' blogs -- I get some great ideas, learn something new about different laws in other states, and read what some amazing professionals do in their daily lives. I made a commitment, though, years ago, to blog as much as possible on my own site, realtormarney.com. There I blog about Towson real estate, Timonium real estate, the local Baltimore market, plus activities and a lot of other information. That dedication has been very helpful to me, and opened opportunities to blog elsewhere. I am a blogger for the Towson Patch and NewHomesDirectory.com! The true thing the dedication has gotten me has been a wonderful amount of business through referrals or peop... 01/23/2012

Even though it is the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, I had signed up for a workshop at the Apple Store in Towson. With all the reports of heavy traffic and accidents etc..I thought a 5:00 class is not the best idea. But it was already on my schedule and I kept the appointment. And am I glad!! The entire workshop consisted of me and Shae and we had so much fun. One question after another I fired at Shae and she was answering them. How do you make ® on the iPad? ..can't. You have to copy and save and then paste it. Someone tell my why? In between my questions, Shae continued to give me pointers and show useful and fun things on the iPad. While there Lindsay, who helped me a couple of weeks ago was in the store with her adorable daughter. I asked permission to take her picture and she pose... 11/23/2011

Wordless Wednesday ~ Picture Perfect! Baltimore County, MarylandAny day is a good day for a home inspection, this one was exquisite! The temperature was a about 65, headed for 70. The squires were busy preparing for the long cold winter weather ahead. The air was filled with the amazing fragrance of fur trees and the sounds of people working hard to clear their roofs of leaves and limbs that will surely choke those gutters and cause big problems in the months ahead.

Razorbacks Hit The Spot After a Busy HomeRome Week!It has been a long and wonderfully busy week. With a showing this morning, a 12:00 walk-through, a smooth 2:00 settlement, and a near closing that took over four hours of negotiating at the table, I guess you can say this is a long day and the end of another week. The time was now  8:30 PM... time for dinner because there was no lunch. So I invited my sellers to stop and have a bite. I did the inviting...they picked up the check before I had the chance.This is such a nice way to bring a 'close' to closing. We all enjoy breaking bread with friends and good conversation.  This is also a perfect time to tie up loose ends, acknowledge appreciation for each other, answer questions and just overall "wrap it up".We found a place, new to me, in... 09/23/2011

My Very First Apple Product...Thanks to Erica Rome! Last week my daughter asked what I wanted for my birthday. She knows I never want anything and am not easy to buy for. I love her phone calls, visits, special cards and notes. Gifts for occasions are not the important things with our family. Thursday night Erica picked me up, introduced  me to the Apple Store in the Towsontown Mall with lots of shops and restaurants .  Erica took charge, signed me up and we left with a brand new iPad...My Very First Apple Product. The store was crowded but our consultant took plenty of time answering my questions.                                                              Erica loves the Mac and everything about Apple. My first cousin, Arnold Reinhold, authored Switching to a Mac for Dummies.  Whenev... 09/03/2011
