Fire safety for your home, tips and most frequent causes, education is power.
Do you know those times in life when it seems like everything around you is hinting at something? You know those times when a theme, or song, or phrase or something just seems to keep popping up like life or someone is trying to tell you something.
I have had one of those moments for the last couple of weeks. De-ja-vu, the eerie feeling like something bad will happen if I don't react.
House safety is a very important aspect of real estate and life in general. One major problem that can arise in your home is Fire.
The pastor of my church lost his home to a fire about 9 months ago. He has been brining up the loss of his home and his reactions in church lecture as a means of telling the congregation that even a pastor has dilemmas in life, obstacles thrown at us to see how strong we really are in our faith.
Today our association of REALTORS for Pinal County, WPAR, sent out a message to all agents in our association. The message reads as follows:
Good Morning:
There was a house fire out here in Arizona City on Saturday and the family that was living in the home has 7 children. Their youngest was born on Friday!! They are staying at the Holiday Inn right now but have to be out tomorrow. This family needs a place to live but of course under the circumstances they are low on cash/household goods. I know times are rough for everyone but just wondering if we can help somehow.
How tragic the news is and yet at the same time the fact that no one was seriously injured is a true miracle.
I have not ever lost everything I own to a fire, in fact I have never been in a house fire since I was 11 months old and cannot remember the events, but I do know what the cause was....faulty wiring.
There is no charge for entry, however, tickets will be sold for prize drawings and the buffet which is at the final stop, Duffer's Restaurant at the Arizona City golf course. Tickets for the prize raffles are $5.00 for every 6 tickets and the buffet tickets are $10.00 per person. Tickets for either are available at each stop and prizes will also be raffled at each stop. The grand prize, a weekend getaway for two, will be handed out last at the buffet in Duffer's.
Fort Wayne's Coney Island Wiener Stand has been a piece of its Americana since 1914. The nostalgic hot dog stand is a must see for any visitor of Fort Wayne, IN.
I cannot imagine making a trip to the city...or state for that matter...without making a stop to the famous Coney Island Wiener Stand. Going to Coney Island is a local must and everyone around the area has heard of it.
When I first met my husband in 1997 he brought me to the famous Coney Island and I thought "how bizarre" that you could actually enter through the back door. I had never seen the front door until I drove by the other day to snap the photo for this post. My husband and I brought his parents and our son to the stand for lunch our first day back in Fort Wayne. Coney Island has been a long standing tradition in his family since his parents moved into the area over 50 years ago.
The atmosphere at Coney Island is very laid back and relaxed. It is just a place to hang out eating a great hot dog with the famous Coney Island sauce and just reminisce with good friends.
The menu includes the Coney Island Hot Dog, cheese dog, burgers, chili soup, chips, baked beans and pie plus an assortment of fruit pops, bottled coke, Pepsi products, milk and chocolate milk, coffee and juices. The prices are great as all of us ate for about $17 and take orders are welcome. However, in keeping their long standing tradition Coney Island only excepts cash.
If you are visiting the Fort Wayne, IN area take time to stop by the famous Coney Island Wiener Stand and take in a true piece of local nostalgia. Coney Island is located at 131 W. Main Street and you can reach them at 260-424-2997.

I am married...11 years this coming August
I have a son...14...named Austin
My husband Rick received his real estate license in August 2008
My son Austin is in the 8th grade and loves computers...
He gets that from me!
Together we have 3 cats and 2 dogs.
My princess is Amadeus...black cat with a tiny tip of white at the end of her tail.
My son's cat is Aquarius who was given to us about 2 years ago.
The other cat, "Squeaker", camped out on our porch and when we moved we decided to catch her and bring her with us. She was a stray and very thin and we were the only ones in the neighborhood that fed her. She now lives mostly in our garage, but does come out for attention during the day.
Red and Missy are our 2 dogs...one is about 15 lbs. and the other is a large breed...lab mix. Red was rescued from a rescue center for abandoned animals. He was given to me by my mother who was his 7th owner.
