Much to the delight, I'm sure, of all the kids in school, we received our first accumulation of snow of the winter today!
The weatherman is predicting 5" to 10" total snowfall.
With temperatures being forecast for Sunday at 38 and 53 on Monday, it doesn't look like it will last long.
I would write more but I have to go and dust off the snow disc and get in some sledding before it's gone!

The new real estate magazine has arrived and you excitedly thumb through the pages of beautiful homes with wonderful descriptions. You find the PERFECT house and call the listing agent only to find out the home has already sold. Sound familiar?
You search on the Internet and scroll through web site after web site to find the house of your dreams. You call about a home that sounds exactly like what you've been looking for.

Experience matters! Realtor for 10+ years, covering Stone & Taney counties & Table Rock Lake. Consistently a top producer with Tri-Lakes Realtors. Area resident for over 27 years--I know the area
Welcome! Thanks for visiting my site here in the Tri-Lakes area of Ozark Mountain Country.
I'm sure you've heard Branson described as "the Country Music Capitol." However, this location has so much more to offer than music shows. What's so great about living here? It's a small town with a friendly atmosphere, yet there is so much to do here. My goal will be to feature different aspects about our area in my blogs. Below is just a summary about our part of the Ozarks.
First of all, there are three lakes. Table Rock Lake has over 745 miles of shoreline where you can fish, swim, ski, or just relax on your boat. If fishing is your passion, we also have Lake Taneycomo, a cold-water lake famous for its trout. Then there's Bull Shoals Lake in Forsyth and eastern Taney County. Bull Shoals is a recreational lake, like Table Rock, but a little more secluded.
If you're not a lake lover, don't worry, there are a multitude of other things to occupy your time. There are three outlet malls along with the Branson Landing with its shops, restaurants, fire/water/light fountains and boardwalk along Lake Taneycomo. In addition, there are several craft shops and flea markets throughout the area. We also have theme and water parks, hiking trails, sports programs at the new Recplex, beautiful parks... the list is endless.
And we can't forget golf. There are seven large golf courses in the area. So if you're addicted to this sport, the Tri-Lakes area offers a different course for every day of the week.
One more thing to mention is the beauty of the Ozarks. The views go on forever. I've had more than one client visit the area for the first time and buy a home on their first trip. It's that easy to fall in love with the Tri-Lakes area. Be sure to visit my blog often for more info or go to my web site.
Since 1997, I've been an active Realtor. I list and sell property in the entire area including Branson, Hollister, Forsyth, Walnut Shade, Blue Eye, Branson West, Kimberling City, Reeds Spring, Galena, Lampe, and Shell Knob.
I've lived in the Branson/Tri-Lakes area for over 27 years so I know it like the back of my hand. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Administration from College of the Ozarks. That's how I ended up in Branson. After I graduated, I didn't want to leave the area.
My husband, Frank, is a native of the area. He is a commercial general contractor and owner of Frank Turner Construction. We have two children. Our son is a junior at Missouri State University and our daughter is a freshman at the University of Missouri. So I'll be working very hard for the next several years to pay tuition!
Our family loves the outdoors and we practically live on Table Rock Lake in the summer. We have a small houseboat that we try to spend as much time on as possible.
I love selling real estate. It's a challenging job and I meet the greatest people. Many of my clients have become good friends.
In 2005, my long-time friend, Beckie Boedefeld, joined me in real estate to form a team. One of us is always available to handle your real estate needs.
Whether you're considering buying or selling in the Tri-Lakes area, I'd love to be your Realtor!
Lynn & Beverly Ryan, St. Louis, MO
"Our experience with Tammie Turner was the best real estate relationship we have ever had. Tammie remained flexible and efficient in going through the past listings to fit our new criteria, as well as new listings. We can truly say that Tammie always kept our best interest in mind, worked hard to see that we had all the needed information, and displayed exemplary follow through on all of the many requests and details needed to close our deal. We now wish she had a Kansas license so that when we sell our primary residence, she could represent us on that deal as well!"
Dr. & Mrs. Gerald Marcell, Carbondale, KS
"It was our lucky day when we began working with Tammie Turner. We told her what we were looking for in lakeside retirement home and she began the search. We spent an entire day together looking for properties and we really "clicked." She just understood our style and financial parameters. We recommend her to anyone looking for a REALTOR. On a scale of 1-10, she's a 12!"
Jim & Debby Shirley, Lampe, MO
"We had experienced disappointments in looking for the perfect lake home in Branson until we found Tammie. She made the difference--the end result was a happy and successful one. Her professionalism, knowledge, and experience were what we had expected and had been used to in the past. We look forward to working with Tammie when we upgrade to a lakefront home."
Mike & Olive Wood, Vanzant, MO
"We would recommend Tammie Turner to anyone looking for a REALTOR in the Branson area. Her commitment to her clients' needs, knowledge of the market, and organizational skills were invaluable in helping the sale of our home go quickly and smoothly."

"As a senior citizen, it was a comfort to know Tammie was looking out for our best interest in selling one of our properties. You can always trust her to answer your questions truthfully. We think she is the best!"
Richard & Rosella Combs, Branson, MO
"Tammie made our trip to find homes very inviting. It felt like she was our only friend in the Ozarks at the time. We didn''t know the area and, by gosh, she made sure we saw it all, so we could make a good decision. We have relocated to the Ozarks from Minnesota and love our lake home. Thanks to Tammie and her tenacity; we now enjoy warmer winters. "
Punky Fedora, Galena, MO
"We feel that we were very lucky in selecting Tammie Turner as our Real Estate Agent. She sent us a number of listings in our price range and spent many hours with us showing us several properties on different occiasions. Tammie paid close attention to our reaction to each of those properties until she knew just what we were looking for in a retirement home at Table Rock Lake, then she found the perfect home for us! We would certainly recommend Tammie Turner to anyone wanting to purchase a home or property in the Tri-Lakes area. She was great to work with and certainly kept our best interests in mind at all times. Tammie has become a good friend as well as our Real Estate Agent, and it's always nice to do business with a friend! "
Al & Evelyn Murfin, Ft. Worth, TX
"Our experience with Tammie Turner as our Realtor was the best sales experience we've ever had. She was dedicated to our needs as a client and did not hesitate to help. She was very prompt in returning all of my calls and messages and was always willing to take time for us. She was very flexible and honest and had our best interest at heart. I would give her an A+++ rating and recommend her to anyone!! "
Brenda Polke, Rockaway Beach, MO
"I wanted to find a house in Branson, MO. I lived in Las Vegas. So with no contacts, I went to the internet and found Tammie Turners web site. God was smiling on me that day. Tammie is not only a no-hassel real estate agent but one of the most caring and helpful people I have ever come across. If you are considering using Tammie as your agent, you won't be sorry! She will treat you like family and go beyond the best for you. Tammie, we can't thank you enough! "
