Wow, it's been one heck of a week.  Running here and there to put the wheels in motion to open RE/Max FourSquare Realty in LaGrange.  Between nurturing two new puppies in our home, to meeting with Planning & Zoning, working with the contractor to remodel our new office, reading all the materials,...

Yesterday (Nov 6), the people of Kentucky, in my opinion, set Kentucky back to the olden days of tax & spend. I am disappointed, not so much that Ernie Fletcher wasn't re-elected, but that Steve Beshear won by a landslide. In any mandate, perceived or not, the government that follows nearly alway...

It is election season and out come the not only the ghosts and goblins of Halloween, but all the dancers and spinners trying to win votes.  I am quite angry with the continuing politically correct but on-going devaluing of Americans.  The exception being for medical reasons where certain diseases...
