Anyone who might read my post probably already reads Steven Smith's blog and has seen this post. But because I enjoyed it so much and because all his music history posts are so good, I decided to reblog it!! The Bee Gees were a great music group! If you haven't discovered Steven Smith, visit h

My friend Anita sent me this great picture of a mansion in Bald Knob Arkansas. Bald Knob gets laughed at a lot because of its name. It really is NOT a town made up of old men with bald heads but a nice little town that used to be considered the strawberry capital of the world. Now the strawbe

I found this old newspaper clipping with the title of "The Way We Were." It should say the way some people were.....what a house! Notice the kids in the windows upstairs and more on the front steps. One thing about blogging is the way it makes you more conscious of your surroundings, your tow

Clients have been internet shopping and planning a trip to buy in Searcy Arkansas. I've emailed them what I think is the very best out there. They are here.....ready to buy. "Okay, Barbara, we'd like to see the one you sent us on Jonathan Street. When I tried to pull it up on the MLS search, it
