Friday Flags If You Wait, it will Wave in Watertown CTWhile driving into Watertown, CT to meet someone at a condo complex, I noticed the flag at the entrance was less than furled. The limbs on the adjacent trees were moving slightly so I waited a few minutes to see if the flag would strut for me.The saying is that a watched pot never boils, and I was starting to believe that that would apply here as well.As I was thinking that I would have to return, the trees moved a lot, and then I looked up and that flag was speaking to me.Not only did it shine but the burst almost spoke to me as sorry to have made you wait so long.I got the shot, the meeting went well and then went on my way.

Friday Flags: Big and Beautiful in Watertown CTI was heading into Watertown, CT on Wednesday morning. On a main road is a plant with a very large flag out front. It very seldom is fully furled, however this week, there was enough wind that I just had to stop.Most flag sizes are sized for the height of the pole. The pole that was supporting this banner had to be at last 40 ft tall, which would be appropriate for a flag,  8' x 12'It didn't matter as it ws just a beautiful sight to see. Friday Flags: Big and Beautiful in Watertown CT 05/02/2025

The nights have been a bit cooler and it starts the change in the leaves. I play in a Seniors Golf league in Watertown CT which is in Litchfield county.

Friday Flags Patriotic Watertown CT Bottling PlantWednesday mornings are my day of playing golf in a senior's league at Crestbrook Park in Watertown CT. On the way to the course, I always pass the Crystal Rock plant with it's all too large flag, seldom waving for me to catch a shot.I was fortunate coming back last week to catch it fluttering and stopped to take a shot.Being slightly impatient I decided to do a whisper and see if I could get it to unfurl more.Not much better but It was appreciated none the less. The results of the golf that afternoon were also good as my partner and I managed to play well enough to come up 1 point shy of first place for the second half of the season and only 1-week left.On the way this week, the sky was clear and blue and just enough wind as I started pa... 10/04/2024

I am pleased to announce to the leasing of 4 Aspetuck Village in New Milford, CT.  Located just past the New Milford hospital and quaint village center, this property offered 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a finished basement room and a one car garage. There is stainless steel applicances, pergo flooring throughout, in-unit washer/dryer, air conditioning units and a large attic for storage.  The property was on the market for quite some time, due to a lack of qualified tenants.

He is very patient and knowledgeable. I will use him again when there is a vacancy, and tell everyone I know about him.''My client wil... 07/25/2024

Friday Flags in Thomaston CT with a ConcertI had to dop some documents off to a lawyer in Thomaston CT for a closing. I thought I heard singing on the way in and as I came out it was still there.I walked across the street to the gazebo on the center green in town and the voices were from the school children offering their songs but no audience, except myself.I stood and listened to them sing and applauded when they were done. I mentioned to the teacher that it was highly unusual to get a concert on the green at that time of day to which she responded that the kids have a curfew.As to put the icing on the cake, I looked to my right and on the other end of the circle, the flag was waving to me as if to say don't ignore us.And I didn't. A great way to start the week, with music a Friday Fl... 06/21/2024

Terryville CT Home Under Deposit in 4 DaysIt didn't take long for a line of buyers to want to view the property with the hope of making it theirs. A contract came in after the first showing, but all were told there were multiple showing requests and an open house scheduled and nothing would be decided until all had their opportunity.Seller was to review offers on Tuesday AM, and was presented with 4 possibilities from which to choose.All looked strong, and all were over asking, which speaks to the current home market in CT.Here's hoping that the process flows smoothly and that we close at the end of the month so sellers can relocate in retirement to TN. Terryville CT Home Under Deposit in 4 Days 04/30/2024
