The weather is nuts here in NY State.  Who ever heard of SNOW this early in October?  (Jesse you don't count on this one.)  They are saying it might happen tonight. Well the cool temps are making for spectacular fall color.  We do have a chilly weekend predicted with the possible SNOW, but next week it will warm up a bit and I urge you to get out this way before all of the beautiful leaves are on the ground.  I took some photos yesterday.   These are taken on a drive to New Paltz. Enjoy. Well I hope you will put a visit to our area on your list of things to do this fall.  We have many great things here to see and do.  If you are considering looking for a year round or vacation home in the area please give me a call, a text, or send me an email.  I am ready to help you find the perfect p...

I wanted to let everyone know about a great new web-site.  You can gets things absolutely FREE!!  If you have a need for an item, take a look at this site.  Or if you have something at your house that you don't use anymore, you can advertise the item for free and give it away to someone who actually needs.  This is a great way to get rid of the items in your basement or attic, without throwing them away at  the dump.  Check out www.freecycle.org.

Choosing the Right School for Your Children For many families, a move to a new state or community means making difficult choices. Choosing from among the wide array of options of appropriate day care for younger children or schools for the older ones can be a complex and time-consuming chore. Parents need to examine their own basic values, their child-rearing and educational philosophies, and each child's needs when making decisions that will affect their child's future. For many parents, choosing the best schools for their children determines other life choices.

Hi, everyone.  I wanted to let you know that if you are looking for historic postcards in the Orange, Ulster and Sullivan counties, just go to www.realesolutions.com.  Once there, click on historic postcards and search for the town name you would like.  These postcards are really great.  They would make a nice gift for someone who grew up in the area.  They might remember the picture on the postcard and tell you an interesting story about it.  If you have a town that is not on our list, let me know and I will see what I can do to add it.
