I'm turning off the TV! 2008-06-28 10:03:38 I don't know about you, but I'm tired of all the bad news...the distorted news...the doomsday news. In this information age, we are deluged with news and there's nothing wrong with being informed. The problem is, the information we get, especially from the media, is filtered through the biases of the media itself. The political races are a good example. How can anyone really make an informed decis Read more:turning

Fourth of July in the Mountains 2008-06-23 15:50:24 There's just something special about celebrating Independence Day in a small town like Brevard, NC.
Maybe it's because around here, people still stop and speak to each other on the street. And when they ask how you're doing, they really want to know. Maybe it's the strong sense of community that can be hard to find in a big city. Whatever it is, it's a great place to be as we celebrate the freedo
A Drive to Cashiers 2008-06-19 16:14:32 A few days ago some friends of ours who live in the Etowah area, (about a 45 min drive from here) came to visit us. They relocated to western North Carolina from Florida about 6 months after we did but had never really taken the time to discover what the Lake Toxaway, Sapphire, Cashiers area is all about.

Classic Southern Pimento and Cheese 2008-06-18 12:43:07 In this part of western North Carolina, everyone has their own way of making pimento and cheese. One thing is for sure though, if you go to a party, someone's bringing pimento and cheese. I grew up in the south and as far as I can tell, this is a dish that is as much a part of southern hospitality as sweet tea on a hot summer day. Enjoy ya'll.

A Real Estate Market Perspective 2008-06-10 09:59:11 I've been thinking a lot about perspective these days. After all, how we look at things colors what we do next. It's been way too hot in the Brevard area this past week. But coming out of Florida, I remember all too well those nights when it was 85 degrees with matching humidity at 11 pm. And in the Raleigh area, it's been in the 100's. So, when I put our week of hot weather into perspective, I re Read more:Market

Summer in the Mountains 2008-06-05 15:57:54 There are a lot of reasons why I love living in western North Carolina, specifically Transylvania County. Right up at the top of that list are the four distinct, but moderate seasons. After living in Florida for too many years, I had become accustom to Hot and Hotter. The concept of spring and fall had been nearly forgotten.

Summer Peach Crisp 2008-07-15 14:52:08 When I first moved to western North Carolina it was August and I had just left steamy, hot, overcrowded Florida.

How Much is Too Much Information 2008-07-11 08:11:38 There's an interesting article on Inman News this morning about how many photos to use in a listing or a virtual tour. Research on one side of the debate believes that the more photos there are...the better. In the other corner is some research that says our brains can only absorb but so much information in a given amount of time and anything beyond that could result in diminishing returns.
