Mayfest in Rutherfordton

Hundreds of residents turned out for the annual Mayfest held in downtown Rutherfordton and RE/MAX Rolling Hills Realty was there!

Our booth drew a crowd. We blew up helium balloons for the children, gave away tee shirts, pens, pads, and trinkets, and had Homes and Land and Real Estate Books to pass out. We even held a drawing for a gas grill. It was a fun filled day of good will. Our very own Broker/Owner Scott Walker dressed up in a balloon suit and passed out what else? RE/MAX balloons.

This was a special day in downtown Rutherfordton, a day for local businesses, residents, and visitors to celebrate the passing of winter and to welcome May in a big way. Spring is in the air.

Lucky Lot Shot

Sometimes, I'm shooting pictures for a listing and just get lucky. Here's a lucky shot from Lot 100, Golden Valley Estates, in lovely Golden Valley. Gives you a real feeling for elevation, doesn't it?

For those of you who don't know, my camera gave up the ghost this winter and I bought a new, faster, niftier, Sony Cyber Shot, with all the trimmin's - including a REAL wide angle lens and a telephoto lens which shoots such distances as to require a tri-pod for a steady shot. Awesome. And I've been enjoying it ever since.

Where's April?

What happened to April?

I've been running around with my camera, snapping pictures as if there's no tomorrow. Half of my computer memory is used up and it's getting sluggish, records indicate I have more than 13000 photos stored in my hard drive and how, how, can I toss a single one? This is history! lol.

I know, I know, that's what CD's are for. But burning CD's takes time and I have all these photos backed up to my Maxtor One Touch Back Up Drive which synchs with my hard drive and, there-in lies another technical issue. Where's a tech guru when you need one? If you have a solution for me, email me. I'm all ears.

April passed in a blur of activity. We got our greenhouse up and running in March, and I've been puttering about out there every since. I take some time in the early morning and late evening to check on my plants daily. At this point it's not a chore, rather a delight, to have seedlings coming along. What a joy!

The real estate market was slow all month. I put up several listings and am working with several buyers. Our buyers are finding there are some nice bargains to be had in Rutherford County right now.

But April is gone - let's get on to May.
