                                              Welcome to Lake Havasu City!  America's home of the London Bridge!  Robert McCulloch Sr. had a vision about a vast empty space in the desert and nearly 30 years later, his vision has come to fruition.  Lake Havasu City is now home to more than 55,000 residents with the population often doubling during the summer boating season.  With continued growth in travel, construction, and light manufacturing, Lake Havasu is the premiere destination of those wishing to leave behind the rat race of Southern California living. With property values finally coming into the more realistic realm, now is a great time to buy in Lake Havasu.   Interest rates are low and sellers are motivated!

On Wednesday, the planning and zoning commission of Lake Havasu City voted to recommend the rezoning of two of Lake Havasu City 's most respected areas.  On August 6,   the Havasu Riviera project and lower McCulloch Boulevard area will go before the city council. Currently, the 250 acres south of the Water Safety Center at Contact Point is where the Havasu Riviera project is located.  It is zoned light agricultural, but if passed by the City Council, it will be rezoned to mixed use and multiple family residential, putting it on the road to becoming a Resort-Related Mainland.  The plan will include an art and convention center, a marina, a five-star hotel and resort, and a four-year university.  The proposal will also call for development of commercial business and residential housing in...

Isn't it amazing how fireworks never seem to lose their fascination, no matter how old you get? Every year, Lake Havasu City provides an amazing show of pyrotechnics over the lake to celebrate our nation's independence. A great way to end the day playing on the lake is to relax on your boat while enjoying the fireworks over the lake. Locals and visitors alike gather together on the beach or at the park, bringing blankets or chairs and, many times, snacks to nosh on while enjoying the oohs and aahs the flashing lights in the sky bring. The Nautical Inn launches this show from Spectator Point on the Island at dusk. So, after the family barbeque has ended, make your way down to the lake to enjoy the amazing display of lights that is sure to bring out the kid in you!

Come and celebrate your 4th of July in Lake Havasu City .  Start your day on the lake enjoying the many water activities available.  Then catch a great game of baseball at Lake Havasu High School Baseball Field featuring the Havasu Heat playing against the A.C.W.B.L. Braves.  Games start at 4pm and again at 7:30pm. After the game, come out to Spectator Point on the Island for a spectacular display of fireworks.  Show starts at 9:00pm. I hope you and your family enjoy your 4th of July in Lake Havasu City as much as I do every year.

Believe it or not Lake Havasu City is the home of the London Bridge .  Strange, but true.  The bridge was purchased for $2.5 million from London in 1968.  The bridge was taken apart and reassembled in Lake Havasu City for another $7 million.  The bridge was complete and open to the public in 1971.  The bridge has been a popular place to visit ever since.  Come visit today!

It sure doesn't take long for our weather to turn. Just a couple of weeks ago we were barely hitting a high of 70'. Now it is Easter Sunday and it is beautiful outside, the sunrise was amazing with the full moon over the lake still.College and other spring breakers are on the lake boating around and enjoying the wonderful weather. Here is to hoping that the buyers are going to be reducing the inventory this spring and summer. I am confident that we will have a good warm weather selling season this year. What with the first round of retiring baby boomers wanting to find a warm place to live, to familys wanting to get a good deal on a 2nd home for the boating season. I will remain positive and strive to achieve new goals in this crazy market.  Hoping that everyone has a joyful and peacefu...

I don't cook.  It's not my thing.  My son's girlfriend, however, L-O-V-E loves to cook.  She's good at it, too.  So you can imagine the horror in her eyes when I told her that my cranberry sauce comes from a can, my rolls are bought prepackaged, my dressing comes in a box and I let Saralee worry about making the perfect pumpkin pie.  I thought she was going to faint when I told her how excited I was to find prepared mashed potatoes in a 32 oz. tub!This year we've been invited to her house for Thanksgiving!  I've been asked not to bring anything. I guess I won't have to dust out  the ol' oven afterall.  I can't wait to see her reaction when I tell her how I prepare my Christmas meal!In all seriousness, though, may you count your many blessings and make your many blessings count!Happy Tha...

When I started Second Self Virtual Assistance many years ago, I didn't set the alarm and I didn't worry a lot about what I should wear to work.  It was a short  commute from the bedroom to my home office.  Just go through the livingroom, into the hallway, take a left and walk about 8' and there I was. Days would go by without having be "presentable" for clients.Move the clock forward and today it's quite a different story.  However, I now find that even though the alarm goes off at 6:00am and I'm settled in and working no later than 8:00am Monday - Friday, my wardrobe has taken some serious hits. This became quite apparent when I was going through my closet looking for appropriate clothes to wear on an upcoming cruise.Okay, I have one dress, a few formals, 3 pairs of business casual pan...

When I get asked what I do for a living, my answer almost always gets the same response - a blank stare.  Then the inevitable question, "What's that?".  So, I've decided to start telling people I'm a cricket rancher.  I may still get the same blank stare and asked the same question; but at least a cricket rancher is something that can be imagined.What do you think of when you hear "Virtual Assistant"?  Do you think of the Wizard of Oz hiding behind his curtain?  Or, do you think of someone who hangs out somewhere in the universe?  Or, someone's that's not quite real?  I prefer to think of us as your invisible friend.  We all had them as children and it seems to me as adults we could use our invisible friend more than ever.  What is it that you just don't have time for?  Or, even more im...

Lake Havasu is one of most diverse lakes that I have ever been to. For those people that think that the West Coast does not have a boating environment you are mistaken. The thing that I find appealing about Lake Havasu is that we can do or go many different places. My wife and I like to take friends out and pull them on a wedge style tube. I enjoy watching my so-called muscular friends hold on for dear life. I have tried to teach my wife Alison how to wakeboard and ski without much success. Husbands and wives should not be allowed to teach each other new skills. I recently went out with some friends to ski one late afternoon and I was not prepared for what was about to happen. I thought that I was a better than average slalom skier but these guys were near professional skiers. One frien...

A question that people ask frequently, "What is there to do in Lake Havasu?" Well, I will tell you that in the summer it one of the best places to people watch. The London Bridge Channel is a great place to sit and watch the parade of boats and people. Then we love to find a quiet cove and relax with close friends while floating in the water. If you like a little more excitement, just drive up the Colorado River to the sand bar. The fun is plentiful but beware it may need to be censored for the younger crowd. In the winter, hiking to Sara's Crack is a spectacular show of how diverse the desert can be. The canyon seems to appear out of nowhere and the color is astounding. The off road trails just at the city limits are like a maze waiting to be discovered. They range from just putting ar...
