 Yesterday I was inspired to by Ron and Alexandra Seigel  to buy Sunflowers . I stopped at my local Produce Junction to buy some fresh vegetables and fruit . They also have an array of beautiful flowers . My ninety year old neighbor has been ill so I also picked up a bouquet of flowers for them also . Flowers always make you feel better . I was hoping they had Sunflowers  .They do not always have them . I was excited as they did .  Looking for fresh flowers , fruits ,vegetable or herbs go to Produce Junction in Bensalem Pa  19020

 Today I shopped at Lou's Farmer's Market in Bensalem . I love their extra sharp provolone cheese among other wonderful selections of food . They also sold over ripe bananas for 4 pounds $1.00  . I will be making banana bread . A lady in the store told me she freezes her bananas . I did get to taste the most unusual tasty grapes . They were called cotton candy grapes .  They did taste just like cotton candy .    Looking for a good Realtorplease contact meHannah Williams RE/MAX eastern 215 953 8800215 820 3376

Bensalem Taxpayers and residents have you read this article?  How will you vote when you go to the polls in November ?  I found this article very informative .  Bensalem plans referendum on tax increase for fire companiesBensalem Township Council voted unanimously to add a referendum to the November ballot. Township residents will vote on whether to raise property taxes by 1 mill to fund local volunteer fire companies’ operational and maintenance costs. If the referendum is approved, the owner of a property assessed at the township average of $23,600 would pay an additional $23.60 in property taxes, said Ron Harris, chief of the Nottingham Fire Department. Council approved the referendum, but it is unclear whether Bensalem was legally required to put the proposed tax hike to referendum ...

  Where were you in 1960 ? I remember watching the trials on television as a young girl of Adolf Eichmann.  I had started to read books on the Nazi's and had scared myself  to death and was afraid to go to sleep at nights   What terrifying events how could people do such things to other people . I became obsessed with reading books on the Holocaust .  I find most people did not want to talk about it .   I went to see this movie during the week on a hot afternoon right after work thinking the movie theater would be empty . I was really surprised as almost every seat was taken .. This surprised me as this movie  did not get great reviews .I found  the capturing of  Eichmann to be riveting .It was a two hour movie and I was never bored . In the beginning I remember getting the chills  They...

"Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom"Summer Movie Now Playing AMC Preview Today we saw Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom  in our comfy reclining seats in 3D . I took my nine year old granddaughter . We were excited to see this movie .It was the first movie I have seen in quite a while  I was expecting to see a movie similar to the other Jurassic  movies . This one  was quite dark and more like a horror movie . Not as much fun as the other movies were . As the volcano erupted and the dinosaurs are running for their lives into the water the movie falls flat   Sound is always better in the movies  Tuesday is $5 movie  at AMC  $8.5 for 3D  Summer blockbuster movie yes but expected more of a story Are we ready for the squeal ?  Not So Sure

  How many agents have had buyers who they have worked with for long periods of time . My usual time for buyers in three to four times out write an offer . Now we all know the way the market is now . Inventory is really low so we maybe up against multiple offers and the buyer may not get the house . We move on to the next house .   I have been working with a couple that own a house do not have to sell to purchase and can pay cash . I wrote an offer we received a counter offer and they wanted a new front door if they came up in price . Well this was not going to happen so they rejected the counter offer .The house sold to another buyer for the price they were countered     Three months later another house comes on the market in a hot area . I forgot to mention where we are looking to buy...

  What a wonderland of flowers ,plants , fruits herbs and vegetables of all varieties . There was a time they only excepted cash. I just found out they now except credit cards I was so excited .   You can find a variety of very fresh flowers at extremely reasonable prices . I did notice when there is a holiday the prices  are higher but still much more reasonable then you can buy at other stores . They even have some pottery and vases..    Looking for fresh herbs . They are as fresh as you can find at Produce  Junction . On some days fresh crusty Italian bread . Every type of potato you could think of . Wonderful selection of mushrooms  all different varieties  . Looking for peppers ? Hot sweet  red green yellow or red they have them . I could go on and on.  I do think you get the idea ...

woodhaven amc  Did You know that AMC movie theater will allow you to see a movie for $5 on Tuesday's . You can't even rent a movie on cable  TV for that price . If you want to see the movie in 3D it is $8.50   . That is quite the bargain  So if you are off on a Tuesday take advantage of this great deal .   What time do you get done work ? Here is a great idea .  Eat a late lunch and catch a late movie . Maybe stop somewhere first and get something to eat . There is a steak shop in the shopping center and a Chinese Restaurant if you want to eat out before you see a great movie . There is also a Mc Donald's. Maybe you will even have time to go home for a quick bite to eat.  Did I forget to mention this is my favorite movie Theater . They have  padded recliner seats, awesome sound - super ...

 Today is my granddaughter Alexis 14th Birthday . Last night we went out to Shogun a Japanese Restaurant in Bensalem . We had California rolls . They were so good we ate six orders .  I used my Chop sticks we needed to hunt down a waiter for Alexis as she could not use them .We needed to get her a fork .  Although our meal was a little difficult for her because she could not use the phone she did put manage to put it away . Well let's say on the table face up . We had a great meal and good conversation .  Dessert was fried ice cream  which was served with a candle and Happy Birthday written on the plate .  To be honest we had a wonderful meal and I could not believe the bill . Alexis was sure I spent way more then last time  so was I . It was only with tax $20  .  We made a date to go a...

   Today I decided to take a break before the Arctic cold air comes in to the Philadelphia Pa area . I had a free movie coupon I could use to see Star Wars but it will be too crowded when it first comes out . I checked seating and it is already  sold out for the first day . I will wait for the first few weeks for the crowds to die down . So I decided to use the ticket to see another movie   Three billboard outside Ebbing Missouri is not a special effects kind of movie . Nominated for a Golden Globe in her performance Francis Mcdormand needs to get her point across about her daughters murder     She  buys  advertising space on billboards . This causes a commotion in the town . Well you can't make everyone happy . The movie has a good cast with interesting  twists  Enjoy the preview  Look...

 I have a small Family here in Philly . My daughter Johanna and son-in law John have blessed me with four grand children .For this I am so thankful .  Their ages range from 8-16 . I have two beautiful granddaughters and two handsome grandsons . They fill my life with joy . Each one is an individual . I can not believe how time flies  . When I look at my oldest grandson who is learning to drive I remember him as a baby . What fun we had taking pictures of him and posing him . What a beautiful baby he was .Now he is a young man  . Oh well or should I say a teenager .  It is the same with my granddaughter who was a ballerina . I have so many YouTube videos of her dancing . Now she is a teenager . Sometimes I have to laugh as I see them doing what she did to me . She saying to them what I s...
