They say there is a rainbow in the sky after a rainstorm. Actually all the recent rain we had(flood) has helped the flowers and trees bloom into beautiful colors.
I am not sure what these flowers are but they are just gorgeous. I took the picture earlier today at the Dyersburg Okeena Park. There are other pictures of nature there as well as things to do in the Dyersburg Okeena Park.
There are flowers everywhere along the walking trail but this is the only picture I took. What kind of flowers are these? There are several ladies and a few men master gardeners who devote so much time out at the park and you can tell this from the beautiful picture.












I am sure people moving to Dyersburg or those who have just moved to Dyersburg get online and google the phrase things to do in Dyersburg. That is perhaps the way you stumbled upon this post.
Okeena Park is just the place for your entire family to spend several hours. Almost everyday, my wife and I go to the park and walk on the 1 mile paved walking track that winds around the entire park. As we walk I notice many different varieties of trees and flowers.
I was there today and ran into Mary Beth Sheppard who is a member of the master gardners who put so much time into the plants and trees at the park. Two of my friends Betty and Kim also are in that group and they spend alot of time there as well.
One thing I like to do while walking is to "try" to identify the different trees along the walking trail. There are short signs identifying the various trees. You can see a couple of pictures I took of these signs and the trees they identify.
In addition to the walking trail, the kids will enjoy the swings or playground equipment which are pretty close together. Why don't you just take the family there for the day and enjoy a picnic lunch under a gazebo(3-4 available) or sit at one the picnic tables. I was at the picnic tables today when I snapped that picture of the squirrel on the tree.
Later in the afternoon you are sure to see kids playing sand volleyball or playing on the basketball courts.
In another week or so the kiddie pool and grown-up pool will be filled with water and red cross swimming lessons will begin. A couple of weeks later the big pool will be open to the public(for a small fee).
Perhaps you like to look at flowers! The master gardeners sure have outdone themselves on the flowers. They are just beautiful.
If you are like me, when you finish your exercise you just want to find a place to relax. You will see the picture of my favorite place to relax at the park.

Churches of Christ from the middle Tennessee area just sent a semi truck load of cleaning supplies and other items and food to the West Dyersburg Church of Christ at 820 Highway 51 Bypass.
The distribution starts today at 2pm but people have already started showing up for the supplies. Others heard about this effort and they have started bringing by cleaning supplies to be passed out as well.
The flood waters have receded and the clean-up has begun. These supplies should help the flood victims start to get their lives back to normal. Here is a video that ABC 24 shot at the church building and broadcast last night.
Today I closed the sale of the home at 993 Sandra Drive. It sold for $115,900 and it is a 3 bedroom 2 bath home with 2 car garage and a fenced in backyard.
However, there are two homes left that are available and I would be glad to show you either although I have a preference to the house at 1040 Sir James since I have it listed and just love the home. The Sir James house is also a 3 bedroom 2 bath home with a 2 car garage.
Both are listed at $116,900 and either would be a great home for your family. Here is a link to the homes available in Camelot subdivision as of today.
Update: 5/20/11 Only one listed house not under contract, the other went under contract two days ago.
Today in this blog post I am putting my customers and clients on notice. I am not going to take it anymore!
The real estate business has changed so much since I first became a Realtor back in 1992. The business has really become fast paced.
When a customer calls or texts or e-mails, they expect you to respond right then. I have accepted this challenge and pride myself in quick responses to potential customers inquiries.
Another change that I have trouble swallowing is there is no commitment on the part of the customer or client(for the most part). I am still totally committed to my clients but many times they do not reciprocate.
Yesterday a client blew in my office while I was out and told my personal assistant that he has decided not to purchase but rent. We have rental property but my assistant asked him to call me to let me know he was in town looking for a rental. He did not have time or the decency to call me but asked for keys and went and looked himself then returned the keys and went and looked at other properties.
My wife was in the office when all of this transpired and she asked me last night about the incident and asked me why my client did not call me. I told her this type of thing is happening more and more everyday.
A couple of days ago I was contacted by e-mail by a women in Ohio asking me to help her and her husband find a nice home to purchase for their large family. The husband is already working here in the area. I started setting properties up and another realtor called me and asked if these people had contacted me. I said yes and he then told me they were using 3 other realtors besides me. I shot an e-mail off to the husband telling him I was setting the properties up but needed a commitment from him that I was the only Realtor he was working with here. I got no response so sent another e-mail(this is how he prefers to be contacted since he has a blackberry on his belt).
Late yesterday I got an e-mail from him asking me where we were meeting in a few minutes to look at the houses and I e-mailed him back and said we are not meeting as he never replied to my last e-mail. He said he would just look without me and I said that would be good.
I am putting all my potential Dyersburg real estate clients on notice. If you want the services of a professional Realtor who will give 110%, just treat me the way you want me to treat you. I have a life too.
