My kitchen make-over has been going on for almost eight weeks, and has really taken it's toll on me and my aching back. We had planed to do some updating next year, but a mishap in our kitchen sort of speeded things up a bit. We are in the final stages of getting things back in order, and soon it...

I hope all my Active Rain buddies have had a great and a safe Halloween. Here in the beautiful upstate of South Carolina, it has been a rainy, and gloomy day, but on the other hand it made for a rather spooky night. And to make matters worse, South Carolina is loosing the football game.

You just can't beat good chicken, and I think Zaxby's is the best as far as drive-throu goes. Today I got the chicken black and blue zalad, and it was very good, or I was very hungery. I usually just get the snack pack, but today I just needed a change. And of course it is so close to our Keller ...

We are so lucky to be able to live and work in the upstate area of South Carolina. Our Real Estate Market has been down, but not to the point of other areas in some parts of our country. This is a beautiful place to live also. The mountains are less than an hour away one way and the coast three t...

Our MLS board has just passed a revision to require an exterior picture of the home you are listing and entering in to MLS. This has always been a touchy spot with me. If there is no picture, I just flip right on by, and I am sure the public does the same thing. This day and time there is no excu...
