I was born an Air Force brat in Abilene, TX. in 1967. I was the 4th living daughter with one more to come 3 years later. My mom says I was spoiled rotten, mostly because my sister before me (Diana Dinon), was a still-born in 1964. My mom pursued my dad relentlessly those 3 years to "fill that crib". My dad passed in 2000 but my mom is still around. She turned 87 just 2 weeks ago and loves to tell me how he would come home and hold me for hours on end, not allowing anyone else to. In late 1969 he came home from Korea to visit for a few days and 9 months later came home to my 3-day old baby sister Patricia. Now with 5 daughters to raise, my mom begged him to retire and spend more time at home. He did, and we moved to Tulsa, OK. He was bored there and hit some hard times financially trying... 02/07/2017

Living the carefree lifestyle of South Florida never gets old. I love waking up and automatically putting on my shorts and having that first cup of coffee poolside...in February. Never having to worry about snow and ice, shoveling out to get to your car. Never worrying about skidding off the road into a ditch once you get in your freezing car. Nope, I left that all behind four decades ago.  02/07/2017

I am personally in love with this new development coming to sunny Miami. The views are stunning, the location is perfection and the exquisite details in this 56-story tower are top-notch. And, for Miami the pricing is extremely reasonable with residences starting at just $390,900.00 I just love the elegance and sleek aesthetics and you're right in the heart of downtown with a plethora of shopping, dining and night life. For more details: Aria on the Bay 02/01/2017

 I love Sunday mornings, quiet start followed by a great breakfast, the gym, usually some real estate work and then fun time. This Sunday will be one of THOSE days but minus the work part. Happy Sunday all! I dare you to give me a call today and give me a reason to work! 01/22/2017

I have always believed that the adage about the"early bird" was true. I am one and have a thousand examples of why it is true. Getting a brilliant head start on the day is one of reasons why that is a good thing. Another reason is it may provide you with tranquility and peace as you witness the earth and nature "wake up". It certainly does that for me as I watch the sunrise and the changing light. These photos were snapped today from my iPhone while having my morning coffee poolside. 01/20/2017

Living in Miami you see lots of gorgeous boats. Anything from the sexy speed boat variety to the glamorous mega yachts. Sometimes a yacht combines size and pure sexiness, when that happens you get a yacht like this named...Pure Insanity.She is 113 feet of sexy beauty and can glide through the water at 33 knots.  So awesome!  01/19/2017

At sunrise on a clear Thursday morning in mid-January it's 65 degrees. I though it would feel chilly but it was fresh and very pleasant. Still I await the rise to the mid seventies in a couple of hours. Our winter weather is pretty hard to beat unless you enjoy the freezing icy weather with gray skies thrown in. 01/19/2017

As the sun rises on a winter day in mid January I enjoyed my second cup of coffee poolside. First cup was also out there at 6:00 am bathed in the glow of a very bright waining moon.I will take 72 degrees at sunrise anytime. It's always a good day to shop for a home in south Florida! 01/17/2017

 She didn't really do it but the photo may suggest otherwise!     The real deal was Olga Simoncelli and I had a wonder lunch meet up in Midtown Miami on Wednsday. She fresh from the tennis courts and me from the gym met up for a delicious light lunch and a lot of catching up. Always an interesting time with one of my favorite Active Rainers!  12/08/2016
