A Repost from Bob's blog yesterday...

Hi everybody Lisa says Hi



It's always a good thing to see happy smiling faces at a final walk-through before the closing at the attorney's office.

Technically we were still under contract at the time this photo was taken. I did not want to put a "ca-bash" on the day and have them hold up a Sold sign before the fact. You know how superstitious we Realtors® can be...lol

We were heading to the attorney's office just after we shot this picture.
It was a rather cold day as you can see.




The home was a wonderful 3bedroom ranch with a newer kitchen. Perfect for these new first time home-buyers.





We wish them luck with their new home and only want the best for them. It is such a pleasure to be able to work with and help first time home-buyers that have been able to realize their dreams of owning their first home together.

Good Luck Kristen and Shawn..

For those people in parts of the country who are experiencing snow storms at this time of year, it may behoove you to mentally and physically prepare yourself so you do not end up flat on your back and stiff as a board the following day !!

Here in the New York / New Jersey area, we are expecting 24 hrs of snow starting tonight, and an accumulation of about a foot of the white stuff, so I was reminded by a chiropractor friend of mine about a few tips to follow, to reduce the likelihood of injury following the snow shoveling that I am gearing up for !

These include:

• When shoveling snow, especially the elderly or anyone with high blood pressure, coffee and snow shoveling do not mix, Coffee can temporarily cause enough capillary constriction and thus raise blood pressure, that combined with the increased load on the heart resulting in something potentially fatal. TIA (transient ischemic attack, a precursor to stroke) and heart attack are common for those patients predisposed to high blood pressure when shoveling snow.

• 
  In addition to the above medical advisory, from a chiropractic and physical standpoint, stay balanced when shoveling. Bend at the knees, don't lift a load and twist your spine, get a good work out by bending the knees not your back. PROTECT YOUR DISCS DON'T LIFT & TWIST is the motto we use at the office for our patients. When shoveling balance, don't over load, try alternating which side you shovel from as well, for example, shovel three (3) to the right, then shovel (3) to the left, this will minimize tortional and twisting stresses on the discs and facet joints.
  
  
• Everyone, should warm up and warm down after any athletic or exertional activity. Do your stretches before and after, this will minmize sprains and strains of the surrounding musculature and related structures.

Good luck to all those 'digging out' on the East Coast tomorrow, and all across the country when your time arrives !!!!!


Cheers !

Hi everybody,

As I get up and start to move around this morning I can feel the anticipation in the air. Even though it's a sunny day with a blue sky out and not a cloud to be seen anywhere right now.


Last week we dodged a bullet that just a few miles south of us did not. Last weeks storm that dumped tons of snow on our nations capitol missed us completely.

Lucky for us indeed...... Not so lucky this time around though I think.


We are anticipating about a foot of snow or more starting this evening. So I am off to the office to bring in some paper work and get my other real estate business done so Lisa and I can weather out the storm that's coming.

Only one question remains... Will it be a Flizzard or a Blizzard...

The news stations are doing their usual drama newscasts with extended news updates on the storm. They did the same thing last week and luckily I did not have to live through that drama for myself... And I am thankful for that believe me...



Oh well it's winter in the northeast and it is bound to happen eventually..... So I just go with the flow... or should I say snow...

I'll let you know how this all works out... I'm charging my batteries now for my camera....

So be safe and keep warm.... This could be our biggest storm of this season... I'm out the door to get my work done and then groceries... You have to have food in the house and extra batteries in case of power outages.... Then it's batten down the hatches so to speak.




Be Safe everyone....
