JUNE

Penny Mac Hydrangea Festival - June 6-7, 2008

Penny McHenry, founder of the American Hydrangea Society, has been featured on TV Shows and in too many magazines to mention. Her love for hydrangeas grew as a result of a friend sending her a hydrangea when she lost her daughter to a tragic death. She propagated that hydrangea and the rest is history. The American Hydrangea Society has grown to have members across the United States and internationally.

The "Penny Mac" Hydrangea was named for Penny McHenry. This honor was well deserved as Penny shared her love and knowledge of hydrangeas with so many individual and garden clubs across the country.

Community Location Alert: Chaunce's Tavern!

Tiffany Stevens Villa Rica & Carrollton, GA Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Villa Rica, GA

Over the last 3 weeks, my new husband and I have had the pleasure of eating at a Douglasville restaurant called Chaunce's. The food they serve there is a wonderful mix of Steak, Pasta & Seafood dishes, and their atmosphere is definitely an inviting and fun one.

We have always been greeted warmly and seated promptly, no matter what night it is. They've had an increasing number of guests each weekend that we've gone, and the live jazz music acts are enjoyable and talented.

I invite everyone to check it out if you're looking for a new tasty location with friendly, knowledgeable, personable staff. It's located directly on Chapel Hill Road in Douglasville, GA, about 1/4 mile off I-20.

If you've had an experience at Chaunce's, let me know! I'd love to hear more feedback about our newfound location!

Rates on home loans drop after Fed makes emergency cut to fed funds rate, Freddie Mac says. Also, I've seen some interest rates on loans go as low at 4% with a good credit score. Incredible! Now is the time to buy!
