My grandparents on both sides of my family came to America in the early 1900’s from Ukraine.

Things About Houses – LathYears ago before dry wall was used on the interior walls of a house, lath and plaster completed the walls inside houses. Back then lath was made from wood, before the use of metal strips. The lath would be attached to the studs horizontally to the ceiling and floor. Plaster would then be applied to the lath, three layers actually, according to Doug. The last layer of plaster would be the the smoothest and ready for adornment, such as paint or wallpaper.The walls in our 1915 house were constructed in this manner. I know this because when we did upgrades, we removed the plaster and lath and replaced the walls with drywall. One thing Doug pointed out to me when we were removing the lath and plaster was horse hairs in the plaster between each piece of lath. I was h... 03/04/2025

Recently I received a packet of milkweed seeds for a $1 donation, thanks to Live Monarch Foundation.All I had to do was mail a self addressed, a stamped envelope and $1 bill to:Live Monarch FoundationPO Box 1339Blairsville, GA 30514I enjoy gardening in the summer/warmer months and I particularly enjoy seeing butterflies visit the flowers in my garden. I’ve noticed over the past few years a major decline in the monarch butterflies that visit my butterfly bush and flowers. Reading up on the matter, I found out monarchs are in major decline because of many factors hindering their migration every year and the habitat that supports their survival.To counter their decline, Live Monarch Foundation is hoping many people will plant milkweed seeds to grow this flowering plant on their property.

What do I love about what I do as a Realtor®?First off, I must say that I love visiting houses and to see what people have done with their houses and property.  People can be so creative. And I love seeing old houses for their fine attention to detail with amazing handwork.  In this area of SE PA, there are many old houses that have maintained these details and charm.For the work itself as an agent, I love the fact that I am not a hardcore salesperson, even though that is what my state license might imply and what some people may think Realtors® are. I prefer to think of our work as being guides in the world of real estate, and that is what I love, being a guide.When we were exploring whether to become Realtors®, we took advantage of a handful of learning opportunities, it was during th... 02/20/2025
