For most of us our Mothers carry a very special place in our hearts.  It goes beyond just being there for us. There is nothing they woudn't do for their children and our bond is unbreakable!   As a mother I get great joy in my heart when I think about my boys and the incrediable responsibility God has given me.  Today we are meeting our oldest son halfway between our home and his, so we can have lunch with both of our boys!  I wont ask for anything else, because getting that wonderful hug and spending our short but precious time together is priceless.  This is a very special day for our mothers. Make sure you call or visit your mom and tell her how much you love her!  Happy Mother's Day mom.     05/08/2011

  In 2006 the City of Ozark asked the voters if they would support a 1/2 cent sales tax to generate revenue sufficient enough to purchase land and construct a new community center (the OC), and they said YES!   The OC has been a huge success for the citizens of Ozark.  It is generating enough revenue to sustain itself and its operating budget beautifully.  However, the "mortgage" on the OC is paid by sales tax revenues generated from the 1/2 sales tax initiative passed in 2006.   Unfortunately, the economy collapsed at the end of 2007, resulting in an overall sales tax downslide of 11.7% between 2007 to 2010.  Therefore, the revenue projections made in 2006 have fallen short of the annual bond debt(mortgage) payment on the Community Center.  The City of Ozark has had to subsidize the OC... 03/19/2011

I Fought And Won - Saving A Short Sale From Foreclosure! Short sales are difficult enough without losing one to foreclosure.  But the bank doesn't know they are dealing with a stubborn Springfield  RE/MAX Real Estate agent! Working a short sale for the past six months, the bank took four months to agree to complete a short sale on this property.  Needless to say, we lost several potential buyers.  Finally, when the last buyer walked.....after bank approval, winter hit and the showings stopped.  Two weeks ago, we received a great offer, knowing the foreclosure date had been set.  The bank received the short sale package and called a week later.  They didn't have the latest bank statements and wasn't going to stop the foreclosure date. The seller ended up having to leave the country and g... 02/22/2011

Well, groundhog day in Ozark MO this year is a little different than usual. We are digging out from the Blizzard of 2011! Yesterday we got about two inches of sleet with 8 inches or more of snow on top of that. Combine that with strong winds and really cold temperatures and it was not a day to be out and about. I don't think the groundhogs will even bother coming out of hybernation today to check things out!                 02/02/2011

Lambert's Cafe - Home Of The Throwed Rolls - An Ozark's Attraction I had checked out the new Ozark Chamber of Commerce directory and noticed several new businesses that have joined the chamber in the past year.  There was also, the same companies that have helped the Ozark Chamber for more years than I've lived here.  What the book doesn't show is the number of businesses that closed in 2010.  Driving to work today, I noticed a great Mexican Restaurant had closed it's doors over the weekend, while another restaurant a few blocks away is still up and going strong. Then, there's Lambert's Cafe.  Commonly known as the Home of the Throwed Rolls, Lambert's is located off of Highway 65 south of Springfield on the north side of Ozark.
