Fun things to do in the area
I drove by Crooked Lake on Saturday and noticed a big spectacle out on the ice. There were trucks with large trailers and lots of commotion. The white snow and ice were a great backdrop to the sea of colors donned by everyone involved. I decided to pull into the park and walk onto the ice to see …
How many Realtors can you fit into an Airstream Camper? My happy group was so kind to demonstrate! This little cutie pie was at one of our new listings this week. They use it as guest quarters and I think it’s just the neatest idea. What group of teenagers wouldn’t love to hang out here …
Fort Folle Avoine did a fabulous job last night. Their annual dinner was a classic! The late afternoon sun was so perfect in this rustic historic setting and the appetizers and wine tasting on the patio protected by canvas canopies made it even more romantic. Dinner in the great hall was a multi-course delight served …

I’m sure the Christmas snowstorm took a little “Ho, Ho, Ho” out of some Christmas plans and put a bunch of “Heave, Ho” in. Even so, we were able to take the whole family across the county on Christmas Eve in two trucks – gifts, food and wine, car seats, high chair, diaper bag, 8 people and …
Is it just me or is everyone “extra special happy” this year? Everywhere I turn, the spirit seems to be extra special giving, extra special smiling, extra special gracious. I love it!
