    Well the big day if all most here and I am so loking forward to being with 20 or more of my family.  It is always such a treet to see them all. This year, we will have the traditional Thanksgiving Dinner with all the trimmings. After we dine, we all go out to the back deck overlooking the creek, and  take a Family photo.  We have been doing this since 1994, and  it is shocking to see how some of us and changed....and to remember those that have gone on. It is a special...day to us all...we we do Give THANKS......   Ginger Harper

Boost Class today.. (edit/delete) We had our weekly Boost Class today. Today was very interesting in the fact that we are going to have a group "Call Night" every Tuesday. This is at time that we will call our Sphere of Influence or Book of Business...  It is a non-threating way to get a hold of folks that you need to talk to and have just neglected to do so. I am old...but willing to learn new tricks.. Ginger of Coldwell Banker

     IMPORTANT READ..... Something that we can do to help ourselves.  Nice to know.  Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve under the tongue. They work much faster than the tablets. Why keep aspirin by your bedside?  About Heart AttacksThere are other symptoms of an heart attack besides the pain on the left arm. One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating, however these symptoms may also occur less frequently.Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack.The majority of people (about 60%) who  had a heart attack during their sleep, did not wake up.  However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of...

Have a property that has been under contract since May as a short sale for $285,000.   Offer came in at $280,000 and through months of negotiating was accepted by Bank of America.  (They did an appraisal and it came in at $280,000.  Now that everything has been negotiated and accepted...the buyer's bank had an appraisal done and it came in at $250,000.  We are at a stalemate with no place to go... Any Suggestions? Ginger of Southport

Does anyone use this program to create a card for clients, family and friends? I have learned that it does not work on a computer that has Windows 7 on it.  It has been the best idea that I have had that works in remembering folks that you NEED to remember on a daily basis. If you have worked this program and have a solution for me, I sure would love to talk with you.  Or if you know of another program that works for you...please share it with me. Ginger Of Southport

I just got a new Dell Latitude E5510 and a new Blackberry Curve 8500 Series. I have been on the phone for 3 days with Tech support trying to get Top Producer downloaded on to the BlackBerry. Has anyone else had this problem. I am so frustrated at this point.   Going to have a great weekend..   Ginger of Southport

Well, today I received my new Dell Laptop latitude computer.  Do you realize how much trouble it is to move everything that you need and feel is important ...from a desk top....to a lap top? I have spent the better part of a day trying the figure out the new computer.  It has Windows 7 on it and I have been used to working with Windows XP.   I think I like Windows 7 just fine. What I am truly enjoying, it the speed of the new latitude.  It is great.   Ginger of Southport

Spent a glorious day with my granddaughters!  We just hopped in the car and started driving.  Our journey took us from Wrightsville Beach, through Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and to the Fort Fisher/Southport ferry.  A quick 35 minute ferry ride and we were in the quaint beach side town of Southport NC.  A brief stop at Zoe's favorite consignment shop, ABC Consignments, for some school clothes for she and Rachel and we were back on the road.  Just The Great Mimi and her girls.  Of course, we HAD to see the beach, we are beach bunnies, you know! So we stopped off at the Oak Island Lighthouse. The lighthouse was built in 1958 for a total cost of $110,000.  The lights sit 169 feet above the water, but the lighthouse itself is only 148 feet tall.  Unlike many lighthouses there is no spiral st...

Oh...the luck of the Irish.... Today we have enjoyed 2 meals with corned beef,  cabbage, cornbread and  red potatoes.  Both were delicious, but I have come  to the conclusion that it is to be eaten only once a year. Hope that you were able  to enjoy the traditional meal also.  Did not however, enjoy the green beer.  Not a beer drinker,  so lost out on that. Hope you had a wonderful St. Patty's day.

My husband and I recently enjoyed a fabulous cruise to the Carribean until we got the dreaded NOROVIRUS.  This is the virus that we used to call, the Stomach Flu. Remember? It is also a virus that is found in many nursing homes across the country.  One of our better nursing center in North Carolina contracted the virus and the poor folks have quarentined for about a month. Washing hands seems to be the biggest fighter for this virus.  So wash hands at least 20 seconds with soap and hot water. Take care and stay well. Ginger of Southport

WE were 2 of the faithful cruisers that left Charleston, South Carolina on February 15, 2010 heading for the warmth of the Carribean.  Little did we know that we would be attacked by the NOVO Virus.  Yep...the one that hits nursing centers and day care centers.  We were rendered useless human beings for 36 hours.  Thankfully it did not last all the cruise. I still encourage you to Cruise when you can.   Ginger of Southport http://wilmingtonrealestatehome.com/1003/southport-north-carolina/

  Well, I find myself having Opportunity Day today.  (A better way to sayDuty Time).  Actually I have been enjoying it.  It is the first exposure that your company makes when some one calls on the phone or walks through the door. We need to ponder that a minute.  What you say or do...the minute someone walks in or calls in is the first impression that those folks have of your company. We need to remember that. Hope you have a good Opportunity today,  Smile! Ginger of Sea Coast Realty
