My long time friends turned clients, turned raving fans arrived on a visit from overseas.  They have moved away a few years ago.  When the came to my house and their phone had no reception, they stared sharing with me their deep disappointment with America in 2011. They noticed how neglected some...

I am so stressed!  Looking at the first page of blogs on AR, I see so many that I would love to read and respond, but it is already 8:00 pm.  When can I read them all and get into some of the discussions? How do you find time to read them?  How many do you read a day?  How much time do you devote...

     I am so happy that I volunteered to be a guide/hostes today at the Georgetown Garden Club Tour! A number of our Bethesda Garden Club members responded to the request to assist during the event at the historical Evermay Estate, and we enjoyed ourselves.

Obviously, we are not ...

My colleagues and I were very impressed by the life style, the elegance and the...

How have you spent the day?  Did you do something special? This is how I spent the day.  First, I read my book early in the morning.  Breakfast in bed?  Not for me.  One of my clients asked me if anyone served me in bed.  Obviously not.  When the children were small they liked to prepare meals fo...

    I discovered the new Downtown Silver Spring a few years ago, when I attended classes at the local real estate board.  I was impressed at the time how it changed for the better. Now,  the area has improved even more. There are apartment buildings and lots of offices here all very close to the ...
