Motivational Monday: Take a Break... When you can, take a break from the daily stresses. It's important to do this so you can re-root and ground yourself and have clearer energy for making solid decisions when the time calls for it.

Exploring Long Island: Wild Wood State Park & the North Fork Vineyards Looking to explore long island in a unique fashion and on a reasonable budget? Why not try bicycle riding through wine country on Long Ilsand's North Fork. View Bikeable Vineyards on North Fork in a larger map Martha Clara Winery you have about 36 to choose from! I started at Pindar Vineyards and rode past various wineries to end my journey at Long Island Vodka. The Bike ride on route 25 was just about 23 miles, so yes this was an intense bike ride and I would highly recommend you already be in shape. It came down to just starting early in the day and pacing the ride out. most vineyards offer live bands you can also have some great eats and some will offer pumpkin picking and even have a petting zoo on sight for the ...

My brother called yesterday, and is moving back east, from Alabama to New Jersey.  Because he’s aware that we list bank owned properties, he had a simple question:  HOW DO I FIND THE FORECLOSURES in New Jersey without paying a fee to a website? While I’m not familiar with the MLS in New Jersey, the Multiple Listing System of Long Island (MLSLI) is the source for listed bank owned properties on Long Island- asset companies and banks require that all listings be entered into the local MLS by the Realtor assigned the asset. Unfortunately, there is not a tab that offers a consumer direct access, and searching all MLS properties in order to locate bank owned is frustrating.  On our own website, we have foreclosures/reos for the east end (North fork/Hamptons) on a separate feed- one click pro...

We have a friend who happens to be, along with his band partner, an excellent musician, performing as the Earthtones on the North fork/East end of Long Island. Armed with this information, we decided to visit one of the local vineyards on a Sunday afternoon, just to see what the  Earthtones experience was about. Weekends offer several "live music" signs in front of the numerous vineyards; we have a musical preference, and had been told that theEarthtones might fit the bill. For those seeking out an afternoon sipping wine and listening to live music, you won't be disappointed. We aren't wine "tasters"- our interests might be cultivated in that direction at some point, but frankly, the notion of being very unclear as to what we were tasting (in the presence of experts) remains been a bit ...
