  How many agents have had buyers who they have worked with for long periods of time . My usual time for buyers in three to four times out write an offer . Now we all know the way the market is now . Inventory is really low so we maybe up against multiple offers and the buyer may not get the house . We move on to the next house .   I have been working with a couple that own a house do not have to sell to purchase and can pay cash . I wrote an offer we received a counter offer and they wanted a new front door if they came up in price . Well this was not going to happen so they rejected the counter offer .The house sold to another buyer for the price they were countered     Three months later another house comes on the market in a hot area . I forgot to mention where we are looking to buy...

  What a wonderland of flowers ,plants , fruits herbs and vegetables of all varieties . There was a time they only excepted cash. I just found out they now except credit cards I was so excited .   You can find a variety of very fresh flowers at extremely reasonable prices . I did notice when there is a holiday the prices  are higher but still much more reasonable then you can buy at other stores . They even have some pottery and vases..    Looking for fresh herbs . They are as fresh as you can find at Produce  Junction . On some days fresh crusty Italian bread . Every type of potato you could think of . Wonderful selection of mushrooms  all different varieties  . Looking for peppers ? Hot sweet  red green yellow or red they have them . I could go on and on.  I do think you get the idea ...

woodhaven amc  Did You know that AMC movie theater will allow you to see a movie for $5 on Tuesday's . You can't even rent a movie on cable  TV for that price . If you want to see the movie in 3D it is $8.50   . That is quite the bargain  So if you are off on a Tuesday take advantage of this great deal .   What time do you get done work ? Here is a great idea .  Eat a late lunch and catch a late movie . Maybe stop somewhere first and get something to eat . There is a steak shop in the shopping center and a Chinese Restaurant if you want to eat out before you see a great movie . There is also a Mc Donald's. Maybe you will even have time to go home for a quick bite to eat.  Did I forget to mention this is my favorite movie Theater . They have  padded recliner seats, awesome sound - super ...

 Today is my granddaughter Alexis 14th Birthday . Last night we went out to Shogun a Japanese Restaurant in Bensalem . We had California rolls . They were so good we ate six orders .  I used my Chop sticks we needed to hunt down a waiter for Alexis as she could not use them .We needed to get her a fork .  Although our meal was a little difficult for her because she could not use the phone she did put manage to put it away . Well let's say on the table face up . We had a great meal and good conversation .  Dessert was fried ice cream  which was served with a candle and Happy Birthday written on the plate .  To be honest we had a wonderful meal and I could not believe the bill . Alexis was sure I spent way more then last time  so was I . It was only with tax $20  .  We made a date to go a...

   Today I decided to take a break before the Arctic cold air comes in to the Philadelphia Pa area . I had a free movie coupon I could use to see Star Wars but it will be too crowded when it first comes out . I checked seating and it is already  sold out for the first day . I will wait for the first few weeks for the crowds to die down . So I decided to use the ticket to see another movie   Three billboard outside Ebbing Missouri is not a special effects kind of movie . Nominated for a Golden Globe in her performance Francis Mcdormand needs to get her point across about her daughters murder     She  buys  advertising space on billboards . This causes a commotion in the town . Well you can't make everyone happy . The movie has a good cast with interesting  twists  Enjoy the preview  Look...

I have two beautiful granddaughters and two handsome grandsons . They fill my life with joy . Each one is an individual . I can not believe how time flies  . When I look at my oldest grandson who is learning to drive I remember him as a baby . What fun we had taking pictures of him and posing him . What a beautiful baby he was .Now he is a young man  . Oh well or should I say a teenager .  It is the same with my granddaughter who was a ballerina . I have so many YouTube videos of her dancing .

 All that know me in the Rain know I am Thankful for my Cleo . She is my Siamese cat . She was a gifted to me from my daughter Johanna . I stayed with my daughter and her family before I moved into my condo . Her cat became very attached to me that Summer . They went down the Seashore for a few weeks and Cleo and I spent many days and nights together . When I moved my daughter gave Cleo to me . My grand-kids wanted a dog if I had the cat it was like they could still have both .  I am very thankful for Cleo .

 Lets go to the movies . This one is a funny feel good movie . To be honest I thought right another chick movie and maybe it is ; but it had me roaring . Yes this movie was so entertaining from start to finish . Smile on my face enjoyable . I did not expect to like it .   Like  I did not  .  I loved it . I even saw it in a regular movie theater .Well there were only me and some people in the back so I could put my feet up ;but there were no reclining seats .  The spoiled movie brat who I am still  wants the comfort of the padded reclining seats . However  I still enjoyed this hilarious amusing comedy . Heartwarming and well acted .   Hurry if you miss it  in Theaters you may soon catch it on DVD . It is good to laugh with all the tragedy in the world today  Check your local listings for...

 What is  La Shana Tova  Happy New Year    What you may say New Year ? It is not January first it is the end of September 20 2017 . What is Rosh Hashanah? It’s the Jewish New Year. Literally meaning "the head of the year" in Hebrew, Rosh Hashanah – also spelled Rosh HaShanah, Roshashana and Rosh Hashannah, among other variations – is the first of the Jewish High Holy Days and is usually celebrated in September. Due to the Jewish calendar being based on the lunar cycle – sometimes in October .   Although it’s a time for celebration, it’s also regarded as quite a solemn festival.People are encouraged to take the opportunity for personal reflection and ask forgiveness for their wrongdoings over the year just gone. And if you think the whole New Year in September thing’s nuts, get this.

 I live in a Condo so I have a window sill garden . At one time Orchids were a plant that I could not grow then suddenly I got the hang of growing Orchids . Now I have a window sill full of Orchids. When I go in my second bedroom to see my Orchids Cleo runs in no matter what she is doing to check out what is going on .We talk to the plants and politely ask for flowers .I take my hand wave it and say Swish flowers please Cleo looks at me in amazement   The Orchid in the picture that is blooming was dying at Produce Junction last year . I picked it up for a dollar but my heart was in love. I was shocked when it bloomed this year So far it is the only one blooming but another one has just spouted .So more blooms to come . When I want flowers I go to my favorite flower store which is also m...

Asking the Wizard the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.to make me Human Yes that is me . Off to see another movie . If I am down or bored maybe I just need to be inspired . Movie land is where I will go . When I was a small child my Mother would say Hannah no school today . Instead she was taking me to the movies . I learned history and about life from the movies  Probably saw stuff a child shouldn't have seen but I did anyway . Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton was a must see for Mom It was all the rage as she had left Eddie Fisher and the movie was  a spectacular . I learned more about history . Suddenly Last Summer  was a strange movie still not sure why he was murdered .  Saturday's was double feature day movies twenty five cents  and popcorn was ten cents . Oh my dear I am o...

 Was in the office finishing up my paper work yesterday . A couple of the guys popped their heads in and said if you get a listing in a gated community preferably two bedrooms two baths please let me know  I have buyers .Didn't want to say I have a list of buyers myself.  I just looked up and said sure thing . Guess they didn't hear me mumbling and complaining that everyone was enjoying the end of summer .They are down the shore ,at the pool and getting the kids ready for school .  I had just read Barbara Todaro   post yesterday about mailing out for fall listings and she is so right on . That is what I am preparing to do went to the printer the sign read " Closed Will Reopen After Labor Day "  I did not realize Summer was that close to an end . It was half price AMC Movie Tuesday .

Today was a special day . I lunched with a friend I worked with for thirty  some odd years . We have worked together in the same office  then I left . Then I went to another Re/Max and she left and came with me . She stayed for five years then she left. Well we are both summer babies so we met for lunch at our favorite Chinese Buffet . I really meant to take pictures but forgot . Next time . This post really is not about eating . It has been awhile since I caught a movie . You know how I love to escape from the real world and into my movie world . I still had my  movie gift card from my grandson Ryan from my birthday . I could make the 4PM show . This time there were other people in the movie theater  . So I had to behave no talking to myself dancing or singing .  I was at my favorite A...
