Rare Eagle Spotted at Clear Creek Golf Course Bristol Va September 4, 2011 The Bristol Va Tn area is a great place to live and one of the many reasons why is Clear Creek Golf Course!  Yesterday a Rare Eagle was spotted on Hole #4......Yes I know it's hard for a lot of you avid golfers to believe but, this was my first eagle on this Golf Course.....actually it's the first ever as far as I can remember! Back in my 20's I would play every week....even in the snow we would play with orange balls!  Now I can only find time to play maybe once a month......which makes it hard to find any consistency......as you can tell by my scorecard.....LOL! But. because I love the game so much I will continue to seek out those RARE Eagles and Birdies....and there's no better place to try and find them than...

(Not At All) Wordless Wednesday....Photos From The Virginia Creeper Trail Damascus Va! As you are riding down the trail you come across the old country store...I think it used to be the depot. Can you imagine the times they had sitting around trying to stay warm! This was way back then..... And this is now.....I mean how could you be wordless when you come across a structure like this? As a REALTOR® In the Bristol Tn Va area I try and capture as many as these fading images as I possible can. To me they are Real Estate that took a lot of patience, skill and time to build at some point long ago.I guess I just like to celebrate their existence as long as I can.And Remember For All Of Your Real Estate Needs In The Bristol Tn Va and Surrounding Area....GoWithRobThomas.com *************View L...

(Not At All) Wordless Wednesday....Shelter From The Rain! I captured this one in a rain storm a few weeks back.....It seemed to just say..."I'm the shelter from the rain"!   In reality it's been the shelter for many things to keep them safe from all that mother nature could throw at it! I think we all need something or someone in life that's our shelter from the storms that come our way. Could it be your family, a friend or co-worker? No matter who or what your shelter is....the key is to give back when the weather is good because they will always be there when it's bad!

To me they are Real Estate that took a lot of patience, skill and time to build at some point long ago.I guess ...
