Beef Barbeque Fundraiser for Bill Troutman In Elizabethville PA HelpHOPELive (formally known as NTAF) is helping a local family organize a fundraiser tomorrow, November 8, 2012 in Elizabethville. In 2007, Bill Troutman was diagnosed with Lymphoma and though the treatment worked in putting him in remission, it created havoc on his heart.  He has had several heart attacks and numerous procedures to include 3 open heart surgeries and a pacemaker-defibrillator implanted. As you can imagine, all of this has left him in need of a heart transplant.  This past summer, Bill had his 4th open heart surgery and had a LVAD (left vantricular assist device) implanted in hopes this will buy him enough time until he can receive a much needed transplant. Although Bill has insurance, it will not cover all... 11/08/2012

Speechless Sunday - What Do You Call A "Flock" Of Butterflies? At the end of my Open House today, I was closing the back door and noticed a swarm or flock or whatever it's called of all of these beautiful butterflies around the seller's bush.  I was frantically trying to take photos of as many of the butterflies as possible. I didn't get them all before the rain came, but I sure got quite a few of them.  I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed be surrounded by them. 08/26/2012

Time Is Flying By - Volunteer Opportunity   I can't believe I'm meeting with the planning committee for our Elizabethville Halloween Parade today.  I'm on the Elizabethville Volunteer's Association and we are responsible for planning three large events a year for our community.  I love to participate and volunteer where I can.  We meet once a month for breakfast at The Special Place in Elizabethville and I enjoy their Homemade Baked Oatmeal with fresh blueberries.  But that's not the only reason I go.  As I said, we plan three large event a year for Elizabethville:  Yard & Craft Days held the first weekend in June, Halloween Parade and the Tree Lighting Ceremony in the Park the Friday after Thanksgiving.  I can't believe it's already time to start planning for the Halloween parade.  Tim... 07/31/2012

Happy Dance: They Sold Their Home In Elizabethville, PA When I first got my license I called my first FSBO (For Sale By Owner) because it was in the town I lived in. The lady answered was very nice.  Hard to believe that was 4 years ago! I explained I had just gotten my Real Estate License and I would be glad to help her get her home sold since I live in her neighborhood.  She told me she appreciated my call but she already had an interested buyer.  Well, time passed, and the deal never closed. I stayed in touch with them, and they contacted me this past August to list the house after the deal fell completely apart.  We got their home sold in 65 days, at 97% of asking price and we settled yesterday! We went to breakfast after settlement and Marcia wanted to do a HAPPY DANCE in celebrati... 11/19/2011
