  The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.   ~Mahatma GandhiInspired Quote of the Day   The sun was setting in the western sky as I was driving to a Pampered Chef Party hosted by my daughter-in-law (Trista) and my daughter (Julie) as the consultant. My one year old granddaughter showered with love and attention the entire time I was there! A special treat for any Grandma! The pull apart pizza and the brownies and strawberries were delicious. The brownies were a special treat. When they had seven minutes left to bake they were pulled from the oven. Marshmallows were cut up and tossed on along with Hershey's kisses. They were returned to the oven to finish baking and served up with caramel drizzled over the top. Oh my how yummy it was!

A new hair do for you may be just what you need this time of year. Spring is near and maybe it's time for a new look.

7:42 AM February 22, 2012 Two days ago, the weather was simply amazing. The sunrise was beautiful and birds were chirping. It was warm? Well, if you've been in the cold as long as us, yes, it really was warm! My daughter came into my room, opened the window and exclaimed what a beautiful day it was! I shared in her enthusiasm and agreed! Although I already knew it was a beautiful day. I had been up for a couple hours. And spending some of it with her and my daughter-in-law and grandbabies made it even more beautiful....   Today, spring is no longer in the air, and we are seeing that it really is still winter! Hoping to make snowmen later today or tomorrow. Have a wonderful day and a wonderful weekend!

February 24, 2012 in Beaverton Michigan Gladwin County Wixom Lake area. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...we need silence to be able to touch souls.       - Mother Teresa http://www.heartsandminds.org/quotes/nature.htm Communication is key in many professions, including real estate. However, silence is also important in our lives. My husband has a couple of favorite tv sitcom series. They would be REBA and HOME IMPROVEMENT. Fortunately, since he plays them over and over, I like and enjoy them as well. Note: Our son in law had the priveledge of meeting and speaking to Reba. And even if she doesn't remember, he got to tell her that his father-in-law loves both her music and her show. There is an epis...

It was real near six o clock pm on Thursday. Approaching the corner of Estey Road on Wieman. The sun was low in the sky and became a huge ball of brightness. Remembering how taking the picture of the sun ruined my husbands camera on his phone, I turned to the left, which was South. So the photo is facing the South West. And the clouds are illuminated by the sun.... Let there be light.... it soon disappeared and it was night. It's now a beautiful sunny cold day in Beaverton MI.

It really is winter here in Beaverton MI. Even though I think we have had less snow than normal and higher than usual temperatures. Some days are white and grey all day, like Monday of this week was. Other days are sunny and I saw a couple of flocks of geese fly over the office today. They were heading North East. They must have decided to stay here for the winter! Any way, whether it's warm or cold for you Happy Ground Hogs Day! Six more weeks of Winter Six weeks til Spring!

Billings Township Community Park Wieman Road, Beaverton, MI Wixom Lake Access!!   In 2011 a community minded volunteer group made of up of mostly Billings Township residents took on the task of cleaning up the former Ice Carnival Grounds.  The group spent many hot summer days removing debris, improving the boat launch, working towards a park suitable for families. In the fall of 2011 the above sign was built by the Beaverton Boy Scout Troop 755 and was installed at the property.  Funded with revenue from the communication tower on the property many more improvements will be made in the future.  They include landscape around said sign, basketball court, parking for lake access, overnight camping, a dock near the boat launch, and a paintball course that will host a tournament in the Sprin...

Wixom Lake is located primarily in Gladwin County and runs to the South into Midland County. It is fed mainly by the Tittabawasee River and the Tobacco River. There are four bridges that go over the waterways. There is the Dale Rd Bridge which is on the Tobacco River side. There is the M30 Bridge which sort of separates the two sides with Tobacco being the West side and the Tittabawasee on the East side. The Tittabawasee side goes far to the north with the Estey Rd Bridge and the Highwood Rd Bridge as crossings.  Approximately 2000 acres of waterway with many canals and some sand bars for swimming. The most popular swimming area is called Pontoon Alley.   Sales this year as per the Clare Gladwin Board of Realtors MLS are as follows:   Two waterfront lots have sold in Billings township ...
