This years Cottage & Lakefront Living Show in downtown Grand Rapids Michigan was held again ad Devos Place. It runs March 27-29 Friday 3 - 9 Saturday 10 - 9 Sunday 11 - 5   I enjoyed this year with a couple of friends and found some really cool things that would benefit cottage living. They had landscaping, docks, boats and anything you can think of on the home improvement side, but they had some really fun stuff too! Check it out if you can!   We started to have some fun with the giant wooden rocker! We felt like Eidth Ann aka Lilly Tomlin! Really cool furniture great for home or cottage!   From there we went in to find many exhibitors that were full of info and ready to answer questions! We were greeted by a beautiful pond with an inviting boat. After the rocking chair we just were ha... 03/28/2009

     Leo Brehl, Grand Rapids, Michigan 1948 (This photo was taken for the local paper on the unique design on the home he built)     So many of my clients and friends ask me why I got into selling Real Estate. Some times I wonder, but I was reminded of it when I was looking through some old family photos the other day.   My Grandfather was a builder among many of his talents. He had built many houses in his day. But in spring I often remember him and the special gift he gave to me and my sister … the love of a HOME!    My sister, his first grand child, was blessed with her very own custom play house - just a one room 6 x 6 charming starter home.  Complete with working windows, doors, built-ins, top of the line insulation in the day I am sure  and not to mention the multi color shingles ... 03/28/2009

If you are in Grand Rapids and looking for something to do, you need to check out the Zoo! WE did and we live here and forgot how much fun it really is! Located at 1300 W Fulton Watch this clip! The last days of summer slipping through our hands my son and my daughter decided it would be fun to go to the Zoo! After checking some on line info about John Ball Park Zoo. Not to mention my comment of: "What? We live AT the Zoo already! Why should we go visit one?" They were still determined to go so, we packed up and headed off for an early morning visit! It was cooler and the animals were very active! It was a great day of fun! John Ball was an interesting guy! Even a REALTOR! It wasn't till after he died that the Zoo began to take shape! He left 40 acres to the city back in 1884. The city ... 09/02/2008

I love living in Kent County and I really love baseball! My husband and son love Star Wars! With that being said, we had to go to watch our White Caps 'play ball' on that eveing which hosted a Star Wars theme and fireworks! This is such a great place for family and friends to connect. I ran into so many clients and friends that evening that were out for the same reason. I enjoyed fresh hot corn on the cob! Who would have thought of that one? The kids, enjoyed the chicken fries and the ice cream pellets int he baseball hats! I made the mistake of turning my son onto the elephant ears and those I must say are d-lish too! lol The weather was perfect. The crowd was as always enjoying watching our local team give it all they got in the great game of baseball. This year we were able to see bo... 07/30/2008
