Do you love popcorn? I do!  A few weeks ago at the Lewisburg Farmer’s Market, I met John Brock of Kettle Corn.  There is nothing like the smell of freshly popped popcorn.  If you haven’t tried Kettle Corn you are missing out on some very delicious popcorn. I purchased a large bag, and ate the entire bag in two days while sitting at my computer blogging. Below are photos of John Brock popping more corn to sale at the Farmer's Market.  How John Makes Kettle Popcorn!   First, using a large kettle, add oil and sugar, and corn on the side.  Mix the oil and surgar. Make sure you have fireproof gloves, a coat and a cover for the face as the fire gets really hot.   Turn up the fire and continue stirring until popping stops. Empty the freshly popped corn in a large bowl. Oh, I can just smell th... 06/05/2017

I love Lynn Boggess' plein air oil paintings. His latest painting was at Cooper Gallery in Lewisburg, WV.  But alas, it has sold.  Keep checking the Cooper Gallery as Lynn plans to do more night scenes. Oil Painting by Lynn Boggess, "Nocturne" 2017. Size 34x30   Lynn Boggess grew up on a farm near Parkersburg, WV, where most of his time was spent out of doors.  Painting on the site takes him back to the streams and hillsides.……..back in touch with his roots. He paints from nature, in the field, as opposed to working in the studio from photographs, which is how most contemporary landscape artists paint.  Many of his canvases are so large that he has to work from a modified scaffold he builds for each painting. He uses 5 different sizes of cement trowel as his brush.  He goes out to the b... 06/03/2017

 ALCOVA mortgage has definitely improved the mortgage process for borrowers and Realtors.  This year, I’ve had two closings with ALCOVA and two more are in the works.  I’ve been impressed with ALCOVA’s new initiative and how they are educating and keeping the borrower and Realtor informed throughout the loan process. The mortgage process is complicated, lengthy, tedious, and, for lack of better words, a complete and total headache for the once optimistic homebuyer. The prospective borrower is faced with the stresses of providing an endless supply of personal financial records, signing a plethora of documents, waiting for their loan officer to address their many questions and concerns in a timely manner, and hoping that their loan will close before their contract expires.With their newly... 05/17/2017
