January 15, 2011 was the Grand Opening for the newest downtown shop in the Historic Lewisburg Shops. You might say the store has "gone to the Dogs", but that would be incorrect.

Shop for that special gift for that special four legged friend, or in most cases extended family member. You can look for just about anything for your family pet.

Saturday morning I was sitting at my desk working on the computer, when all of a sudden fifty or more birds started coming toward my window swooping down and going to the right.  My immediate reaction was Alfred Hitchcocks's movie, "The Birds."  I got up to see what was going on.  Outside my window is some kind of berry tree and the birds where on the limbs and on the ground eating the berries.  It was fun watching them and I grabbed my camera to take a few shots, of course, everytime I moved they would fly away.  Not sure what kind of birds they are....all I know is that there were a lot of them flying toward my window.           ____________________________________________________________ If I can assist you in any way with your real estate needs, please feel free to contact me by ph...
