We have a really nice group of Italian restaurants here on the Space Coast. This might be because we have had (over the years) a rather large influx of Northeastern buyers...especially those from New York.Bella Luna (beautiful moon in Italian) Restaurant & Pizza is a small restaurant with some big flavors and a wonderful Melbourne/Suntree location!Here is the skinny (not a word I get to use often with Italian restaurants), Bella Luna is a great place to go for a casual dinner or family gathering. They offer a standard NYC Italian menu that includes my favorite meal...Eggplant Parmesan. The Pizza is thin NY style and they do a great job. I decided to order a personal lunch pizza for $7.00 (yes...the picture below is a "personal pizza)It was truly way too big for one person! I added eggpl... 05/16/2017

Last week I told you about the upcoming Melbourne Air & Space Show. We went on Sunday and had a great time!The 1st display was from a man named Kent Pietsch who does aerobatic routines. His plane is called the Jelly Belly and is specially equip-ted for the type of flying he does. This clip is of a World War II bomber and the F-35 Striker of today. They flew side by side at the show. The F-35 flew very slow as the WWII bomber had the pedal to the metal to keep up!I highly recommend taking in one of these shows. It was amazing!!!    04/04/2017

I always urge home buyers to think long term - not necessarily about the years of mortgage payments but rather about when the time comes to sell.   After all, unless it is a retirement home, most buyers will not be living the rest of their lives in the house. This long term consideration is especially important when a property has some distinguishing quality that may not be appealing to most others. Still, more often, the realities (and challenges) of selling a home do not become clear until well into the process.    Hopefully, the light bulb comes on before the omissions/commissions translate to dollars lost. For those who may one day sell a house the below list should be reviewed before the time comes.   Many of these are the opinion of the writer, only.  Some are common sense. Being... 03/04/2017

Today I went to our local board for a class on the Brevard County Property Appraiser website. Little did I know that Dana Blickley, the actual property appraiser, was there. The class was packed with well over 100 people in attendance. At the beginning of the class Dana Blickley did something that I thought was awesome. She asked everyone in the class to stand, face our flag and say the Pledge of Allegiance. I haven't said the Pledge since I can't remember and I was absolutely thunder struck at the request. I loved it! And yes, I did add "Under God" into my pledge. I got totally choked up as I proudly recited the words to the Pledge of Allegiance. I meant every single word of it! With all of the bickering going on in our country right now, I wish people would remember that we are all Am... 02/17/2017
