With a "new type" of Market, I am finding that "thinking out of the box" is a VERY good thing. I have been personalizing EVERYTHING, I send out. Why buy store bought cookies, when you can have homemade? I think sellers are scared, and feel more secure with a more personal approach. I think it might be a good thing. Maybe this Country needs a more "community type" feel. I know I like it. I try to handwrite or sign as much as I can. My farm mailings reflect my personality, because I write the editorial for them. When someone calls me, they almost feel like they already know me. Believe it or not, I am actually getting calls from my mailings! Whether it is "I just wanted to call to say, I liked your letter." or "I really would like to work with you." calls. Getting used to blogging has hel... 01/22/2009

While out in Fred Howard Park the other day I did what I like to do second only to showing homes - photograph trees! There are some beautiful trees in our Pinellas County Parks and Fred Howard Park is no exception. I love these trees - they have taken such unusual shapes while growing - as if they are swaying in the Florida breeze! These magnificent trees just had to be shared with everyone here in ActiveRain! If you are trying to find Fred Howard Park, I suggest you Google it since it is tucked away from all main streets - locals know where it is but few tourists manage to get there since you have to drive through the bayous of Tarpon Springs and through various residential areas. It is well worth the trip! Once you find this fantastic park you will return again and again! Remember, if... 11/22/2008

We knew the beach would be closed since they are doing work out there, but I did not realize how LONG it would be closed! They are keeping it closed for over a full YEAR while they do repairs and improvements! The rest of the park leading out to the beach is still open, but the causeway and beach itself are totally blocked off! So if you want to go to the beach, you will have to drive a little south and go to Dunedin's Honeymoon Island State Park, which is about a 10-15 minute drive south on Alt 19. The rest of Howard Park is still open, if you want to just get out to the park area for a picnic - which is what most locals do at this time of year anyway! The nice thing about Howard Park is that you have to drive through Tarpon Springs' residential areas and around the bayou to get to it ... 11/22/2008

One of my favorite places to go has closed!!! Fred Howard Park in Tarpon Springs has closed both the beach and the causeway!!! The reason for the closing is due to bridge and roadway reconstruction.

The remainder of the park will remain open, including the picnic facilities and playground. While you can no longer go out the causeway to the beach, you can still enjoy bike rides through the park, play ball there and enjoy the canoe and kayak waterway trails.   09/29/2008
