My seller client in Johnson City TN wants to move to Morganton North Carolina and I promised him I'd research thoroughly and recommend a great agent.   It didn't take long on Active Rain to find David Wheeling and be impressed.   David has even more professional credentials than I do, almost as many years of experience (he has 29), and a great web site.   I emailed, called, and put the two together.   My client has met with David Wheeling and is very pleased.   The report I got is that he's not just a very knowledgeable real estate agent - "he's a great guy."    David's website has useful information. What my client found in Morgantown is sufficiently interesting that he's just reduced the price of his house in Johnson City to a very reasonable price for a great house.   If you need rea...

There's no doubt that one of my favorite local artists is Phil Jablonski. Is it because his art is organic in nature and often crafted from recycled objects in steel, copper, fiberglass, or even old doors? Possibly. You'll want to check out his website at www.philjablonski.com.  An  exhibition of his work, entitled "Reclamation and Form" will take place at MESH Gallery, located in downtown Morganton, NC, starting Monday September 24 and ending on Friday, November 9, 2012. The traditional reception for the artist will be held on Friday, September 28th from 6 - 8 pm. MESH Gallery's address is 114-B West Union Street, Morganton NC 28655, 828-437-1957.

For small-town North Carolina, we've got a lot going on on the yoga front these days! This coming weekend is the first-ever Yoga on the Lawn, to take place on the Courthouse Square here in Morganton NC, in recognition of Recovery Month and to benefit the Burke Substance Abuse Network. It really promises to be a great time, the weather promises to be beautiful (fall is almost here!), and my hopes are that lots of people will show up! Why not join us?

  Have a safe and happy 4th of July holiday!   You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness.  You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.  ~Erma Bombeck

Hardly believable that the 9th Annual Red, White and Bluegrass Festival here in Morganton NC is already in full swing! Love bluegrass? You need to be here! Love festivals along the banks of rivers in small towns with unbelievably friendly people? You need to be here! There are  vendors of all types, there is camping, there is GREAT MUSIC!     You've got to check out the schedule and, as we say here in Burke County, "Come when you will!” http://redwhiteandbluegrassfestival.com/schedule.cfm
