We have survived our very long cold and snowy winter. The trees are starting to bud , the daffodils wave their cheerful faces and the Wildlife scurries to build new nests and dens for the next generation!
You gaze out the window at the hopeful, uplifting and colorful vista....what a day! What a day for starting the garden! What a day for raking the yard!
What a day for.......... running, screaming, swatting and seeking shelter! 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These insidious, irritating, intrusive insects come alive in perfect harmony with the birth of Spring! They flourish in cold, running,Lakes, Rivers and Streams that are swollen with winters melting snows.
Black Flies put the lowly mosquito to shame...they don't simply poke the skin and inject an irritant.....they rip the tissue and cause pain, redness and swelling! OUCH!
Bug repellants have limited effect. A pro-active "dress code" can help. It consists of light colored pants tucked into socks paired with a long sleeve shirt buttoned to the neck...topped off 
.....
With A Hat!! So much for dressing for Spring!
Now Black Flies aren't with us for long. Depending on which part of the State, they torment anywhere from May thru June....here in the Concord NH area they last from the beginning of May (they started this week) to the beginning of June!
So while other parts of the country are camping, fishing, gardening hiking, or just plain sitting outdoors....here in NH, we wait for dark!
AHHHH SPRING !!!

We are all aware of the obvious ramifications of todays economy. Foreclosures, gasoline prices, unavailable credit, soaring health care costs (if you can afford it at all), food prices and job security to name the obvious....but if we look hard enough....we will see fallout in every city and town in America. Fallout that never reaches the front page.
I was listening to a report the other day, by Chris Jensen, a reporter for NPR. It was about the small town of Northumberland (Groveton) NH. Northumberland has a population of just over 2000 people with a Median Household Income of $31,500. It is not a large nor prosperous town.
Northumberland is trying to raise some money. They are looking to raise $100,00, not a fortune by todays standards. The money is earmarked to shore up the river bank 
in an area that has been eroded forty feet by the Connecticut River. Forty feet encroaching on the final resting place of Northumberlad citizens....past and present - the town cemetery. The town has approached the Connecticut River Mitigation and Enhancement Fund and the Connecticut River Joint Commissions to no avail. Recently they had understood that NHDES had agreed to provide 60% of the funds....that never came to pass.
A few years ago they had to have a husband and wife moved because part of the embankment collapsed.Last March the Town voted to spend $30,000 to move 8 more graves.
So while there is much attention being paid to the obvious and while the politicians are vieing for the most attention and while every crisis is THE crisis....
There's a small town in the Great North Woods of New Hampshire protecting the dignity of their dead. 
In small town America....Life goes on.....

I am a client oriented, married mother of one. I work in Buyer and Seller representation. I'm active in several Local and State Board committees. I also am a volunteer chair for a local non-profit
Concord, NH is my home. I work for Keeler Family Realtors, a family owned Agency that is celebrating their 30th anniversary this year .This family atmosphere and supportive environment makes for happy agents. There is always someone to give a hand,share their knowledge or even pick up lunch!
I concentrate my efforts on Merrimack County and towns within it. This has enabled me to be knowledgeable of values, attributes and unique traits of any given town or area. Merrimack County reflects an exciting diversity of landscape, villages, lakes,mountains,rivers and of course the Capitol City of Concord. This is a wonderful area to put down roots!
I have lived in the same house for the past 23 years and have seen Real Estate go through some remarkable changes.I have been married for 39 years and have one son, who is 25. We have two small dogs who are very noisy but give my husband and I many humerous moments! 
WHY ME ??
I believe that the most important part of my job is being educated in the process. If I know my business then I can use that knowledge to better serve my clients,both Buyer and Seller. To that end I make an effort to take many education classes as they are offered during the year. Last year I acquired my GRI from the RE Institute. That alone required 80 hours of education. I am also Certified in Buyer Representation. I have also been inducted into the NHAR Honor Society.
Real Estate is one of the few businesses that encompasses "friendly" rivals. To furthur good relationships in my RE community I am an active member of several State and Realtor committies.
Volunteering is an important part of my life. I am the Board Chair for The Parent Information Center, a local community non-profit. This organization helps familys with children with disabilities.I am also a volunteer for Main Street Concord Inc. serving on the Promotion Committee
I spent many years in the food service industry. For 7 years I had my own company -a cafeteria franchise business-Joni's Tidbits Cafe. This business required me to develop the skills of Management, Mediation, Negotiation and Positive Interaction. Real Estate was a smooth transition! Same skill set just a different venue.
In conclusion...I really love what I do. I meet many wonderful people. I am constantly challenged with interesting situations and I have unexpectadly discoverd a whole new circle of friends!
I will work hard for YOU.
Nurturing valuable associations with Lenders, Home Inspectors, and Home Related Service people whom I can recommend in confidence assures my clients of good representation. People who subscribe to the same Service ethic that I personally try to uphold
I like working with motivated Sellers and I pride myself on my frequent communication and collaboration with them. "Team work" sells! I always do assisted showings. No lock boxes or single broker showings. I feel your property is my responsibility, and to show it in it's best light ... I should be there.
I have additional training in Buyer representation. I have a special fondness for first time home buyers! Their special excitement is always "new" even after many transactions. And I never tire of it. I am proud to be a surrogate "Grandmother" to many new 2cd generations. I look forward to pictures and emails detailing their many milestones.
"You are a wonderful Realtor; very knowledgeable & an absolute pleasure to work with!!!"Chris & Katie Beaudette
