Conveniently located just off of State Road 49 in Chesterton, Coffee Creek Watershed Preserve is both an amazingly peaceful spot for a picnic or a nature walk and a nature photographers paradise. Carefully planted with native foliage and wildflowers, it is also sprinkled with genius landscaping, rockscaping and engineered structures that include bridges, waterfalls, ponds and walking paths. The main structural showpiece is an outdoor ampitheater that offers incorporated leveled seating  and sits above the largest and most breathtaking waterfall in the preserve.   My girls and I were recently invited to picnic here with my family.  At first, I was hesitant to go, as my girls aren't really the picnicing type - especially in such a peaceful spot. To my amazement, the girls embraced to the ...

Ok, so Finally spring has arrived in Northwest Indiana and I convinced Jeff to turn off the phone a few hours in the afternoon the other day to get in a few holes of GOLF on a warm, but windy day. Amazingly, with the wind at my back, my drive reached the green on a Par 3, and I was left with a 20 foot uphill putt! Now the advice of my experienced parter, who has golfed since childhood, and has been lovingly patient with my learning curve, has been : NEVER LEAVE A PUTT FOR BIRDIE SHORT ! How does this great piece of advice relate to REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS ? I've heard Jeff mention this to both CLIENTS and Other REALTORS  during the negotiation phase of an Offer to Purchase.Now that I play the Game of Golf, I understand this analogy more clearly! When a DEAL is so close to getting signe...

Dear Friend,When I was a kid growing up, my buddies and I all lived within a few blocks of each other. In the summer we always somehow showed up at the park every morning at the same time, bikes converging from every direction. We'd play ball, breaking for lunch, paper routes and dinner, but return and play until dark - sometimes taking the game under the streetlights. We didn't have watches. If one of us got hurt, we'd go to the nearest boy's house and his mom would patch us up. We'd leave our bikes in our backyards; we never heard of a wheel lock. We had trees we climbed. The girls chalked out hopscotch patterns on the sidewalk. If someone's parents got a new Chevy, we'd all be there, sniffing in the new car smell and marveling at the design.It was a simpler time. Some people believe ...

 Ok, so there's not much weather for outdoor Golf in NW Indiana in the Winter unless you go to Rio's Indoor Golf Experience (which I do) or take chipping/putting lessons with the Women's Golf Pro at the indoor range (which I plan to do:) So the Ladies Golf League I belong to started meeting every week for lunch followed by a couple hours of sheer BRAIN EXERCISE playing the ancient Chinese game of Mahjong (those of you who remember learning how to play know exactly what I'm talking about here).  Upon Hearing I played this difficult game of skill, strategy and luck..... Jeff's Grandmother (who lives in Florida) informed me that she played Mahjong back in the 1940's!!!... and it is still very popular worldwide -she even started playing again this year! My first game recount= I encountered ...

Duneland Resale ShopLocated on Broadway in Chesterton is the Duneland Resale Shop. It is run by the local churches and all the profits are given back to the local communities. Volunteers tag and stock the store. They are always friendly and willing to help you.   Whether it is to browse the many racks of clothes or other items or to donate some of the things you no longer want or need, it is a place to think about when cleaning out your house of unwanted items. From bikes to furniture, clothes to household items it is someplace to visit. One little girl was excited to get a few new items to play dress up. Her mom said it was better that some of these video games that are full of violence.  She even looked at some of the jewelry for her collection.

How Low Can You StoopChesterton, Indiana police are seeking a man who is stealing air-conditioning parts. The person stealing these parts are even stealing from local churches. Described as a white male with thinner build and longer brown hair driving a white F-150 pick-up truck . With the price of scrap cooper, it is a way to makequick extra bucks. Just remember when you get to those pearly gates. It's the BIG MAN upstairs that you have to answer to. You may be enjoying the money now but you may not be laughing when you get caught. $25,000.00 lost is a lot for any church to endure. Fr. Meade did ask the parishioners to prayer for the person behind the thefts.  God knows he does need someone to pray for him. There is a picture of the truck and the individual in the Monday, May 7, 2007 a...
