What a decadent dessert if prepared correctly. Tiramisu is creamy and delicious .  Lady fingers, mascarpone cheese , delicate  flavor of coffee (espresso) and chocolate melts in your mouth .  Presentation and pride has so much to do with first impressions .  Sweet and beautifully presented . This will cure any-ones sweet tooth craving   Tiramisu and perhaps a cup of java too.  In Real Estate first impressions are also important

  The Historic Growdon Mansion is Bensalem Pa is believed by many people to be where Ben Franklin first flew his kite . It is a place where many in the spring  fly their kites in the Spring to celebrate this although many are now saying he did fly it closer to his home . Galloway was good friends with William Franklin, Benjamin Franklin's son. Franklin often visited him at his many estates, traveling 25 miles to Trevose from Philadelphia on horseback or by carriage. While a local legend maintains that Franklin performed his famous kite-flying experiment at Growdon Mansion to prove that lightning was the same as static electricity, the broader consensus is that Franklin flew his kite closer to his home in Philadelphia.  Other significant historical figures such as George Washington and J...

 What a wonderful way to spend a dreary afternoon . Gerry Fish from "Waterside Homes" invited all the agents to a luncheon so we could see the new model homes . It was a delightful casual lunch featuring Philly Hoagies .It really was a nice way to spend the afternoon and learn about the all the new models .  Gerry took us through all the new models and  improvements they made . It is really amazing how fast this development is growing . The pricing is also rising from the first time I viewed this "Waterside" community along the Delaware river .  There is a short communte to center city by Septa Trains or by car on I 95 and US 1 . The Pa turnpike is also close by as is Amtrac trains . I always enjoy my visit to Waterside by Mignatti .Waterside is Bensalem's new Urban Village on the Delaw...

His sister Olivia and I go to the movies after dinner while the rest of the family goes shopping . The picture I chose of Aidan was of his dance recital .

I am so thankful to have a loving thoughtful grandson like Aidan everyday of my life . We tell each other secrets. One secret is his mother doesn't always answer the phone when I call .He does not understand why . From the mouths of babes . Was it Art Linklett...

The last few sales were with agents I have known  for many years . The agents  have been in the business as long as me . Guess you can call us old timers . Everything went  easy as we were all in touch with each other  had respect and mutual trust . Knowing that each other knew what we were doing and when a problem arose each of us contacted each other and responded immediately .The calls , text messages were returned and not avoidedThe proper forms were drawn up  signed and returned to each party involved in the transaction promptly . It was a pleasure to work with each of these agents . We all complimented each other to our buyers /and or sellers so they felt secure in the transaction knowing the other agent on the other end was one who we as their agent felt confident.
