  Does anything evoke the idea of “southern style” more than a Magnolia in full bloom? See a Magnolia brings to mind southern literature…To Kill a Mockingbird, Gone with the Wind, The Prince of Tides, Interview With a Vampire…you know, the classics.   This particular Magnolia was in an old cemetery close to downtown in Montgomery, Alabama which really reminded me that I was in the deep south. Old, old moss covered headstones and ancient trees with Spanish Moss draped about the limbs…quintessential southern.     06/12/2012

  The RiverWalk area of downtown Montgomery, Alabama blends decades of history into just a few short blocks.  The day was overcast which just seemed to add a dreamlike quality to the surroundings making it even easier to imagine what it might have looked like during the Civil War, turn of the century, Prohibition and into the fifties.        05/29/2012

Events:  The Montgomery County Alabama Delinquent Tax Sale, June 6 - 7, 2012The Montgomery County Alabama delinquent tax sale is the biggest county tax sale here in the River Region every year, and this year the delinquent tax sale will be June 6th - 7th.  I was talking to one of my clients who read my previous post about the two Alabama delinquent tax sale classes we're holding this Saturday, June 2, and she asked me, "Can you REALLY buy houses at the delinquent tax sale?"My answer to her was, of course, yes you can.When I first met this client, she told me that, once she bought her house and settled in, she wanted to sit down with me and talk about buying investment property.  She wasn't in a hurry, and she didn't have a lot of money, but investing in real estate is something she had ... 05/29/2012

  Today was a full real estate day, partly productive and partly frustrating…getting back to normal, I guess. I almost quacked up over the events. There was a great surprise waiting on my new favorite photo editing site, PicMonkey…collages! I’ll bet that slide shows are just around the corner. This seemed like a perfect opportunity to put all those bird photos from my trip to Montgomery in one place. If you haven’t taken the opportunity to try out PicMonkey, you should do so. Right now, its still free and seemed like a fitting reward for surviving the frustrations of the day. Have a good weekend. 05/25/2012

  The cat is probably wondering “Did I ASK to be saved?”. There are so many possible outcomes for this scene, none of them however what these kids thought would be the end result. How many days have YOU started out thinking there would be a purring and content kitty in your hands only to find yourself reeling, hurt and confused by someone else’s misinterpretation of your well intentioned actions? These kids had better hope their parents aren’t watching! This is one of the phenomenal bronze statues surrounding the Shakespeare Theater in Montgomery, Alabama. 05/22/2012

  If you’ve ever lived in Florida or South Georgia and are familiar with love bugs, this title might well leave you saying…huh? But yes, serendipity is involved because of these love bugs. For those of you who have never had the pleasure of “love bug season”, they are small black flying insects often in the embrace of passion getting smacked by the millions on the fronts of unsuspecting vehicles in a few southern states. D I S G U S T I N G for the vehicle and unfortunate for the bugs. Anyway, Mom and I were driving northbound on US19 in Florida in her brand new Dodge Journey with the pretty silver paint job and by the time we reached the northern part of the state her windshield was completely polluted with the guts of the bugs and her grill was nasty to behold as a yucky carnage carri... 05/17/2012

  Actually, I did get some photos of the historic Riverwalk in Montgomery, AL and I will be sharing them eventually but in the meantime…meet Copenhagen. Mom and I first saw Copenhagen in downtown Montgomery along with his owner Matt. Matt is a soldier stationed somewhere around Montgomery for special training. He adopted Copenhagen from the animal shelter about 8 months ago. Copenhagen has the most polished manners I’ve ever seen in a hound dog. He’s sweet and personable. Matt had Copenhagen down on the Riverwalk to continue socializing him. He seems pretty comfortable to me and there were hundreds of people around participating in some sort of Ironman type festival. Runners, weight lifters, cyclists…it doesn’t get any more distracting than that for a dog!   I gave Matt my card and told... 05/14/2012

This trip to Montgomery has been an extraordinary experience. The Wynton M. Blount Cultural Park is a true treasure that people of Montgomery, Alabama should be very proud of. Not only does it house the two theaters for live performances but the park itself is acres and acres of lush lawn, ponds, picnic and gathering places, walking/running/biking paths and statuary art work scattered throughout. We've been here since Thursday and everyday the park had lots of people enjoying the beauty.     Certainly I've loved the plays, the park and this beautiful city with its friendly and helpful people but for me the highlight has been the uninterrupted time with my mother. This is the first time in my life that I've had her all to myself and even though Mother's Day should be about the mothers...... 05/12/2012

The pond at the Wynton M. Blount Cultural Park, home of the Shakespeare Festival theaters, is the gathering place for ducks, geese, cranes and egrets. I approached the pond shortly after one of the greenskeepers had put out feed for them. I wouldn't say the ducks were tame but they weren't timid. These three were kind enough to pose for their group portrait. 05/12/2012

Well, we're here in Montgomery, Alabama. Our 7 and a half hour drive was actually about 9 and a half hours. Mom has Sirius Radio, so we jammed away listening to music from the 50s and 60s the whole time. We stopped when we needed to stretch and tried not to stress too much when it looked like we'd pull into town about 10 minutes before the opening curtain for the Shakespeare Festival.   Full disclosure here...Leslie told us time and time again to start earlier than we did but we really wanted to have breakfast with my sister in law, Marsha. Next time we'll make Marsha get up and have breakfast with us at 5am...yeah, right...that would happen, lol.   Anyway, we had a good breakfast at the Tick Tock Diner and got on the road by about 9am. Good roads, no traffic to speak of and we took tur... 05/11/2012
