This news article was posted in yesterday's News and Observer. Now it is more important than ever to pick a real estate company that has longevity.

Allen Tate will be closing a quarter of their offices. However, they are not leaving any markets. There are no Allen Tates in the Greenville Market Center.

I took a sabbatical from Active Rain. Isn't it amazing how you do not do it one day.....then SEVERAL months later you realize it. When was the last time I even posted a blog?!?

WOW! I have spent a lot of time nurturing my other activities that I have in my life!

I relearned to crochet. Amazing how it was not fun when I was on bed rest with child #3! Here is a scarf I did for my Sweet Caroline.....luckily it snowed this year!

I have taken up sewing. Pictures will follow on how this experiment works!

Blogging is great do not get me wrong.........but sometimes it will consume you! Focus is my goal for 2009. I made some big changes in my life and my business this year......but that is another blog! Which will hopefully be sooner than later.

Right now I have a dinner dates with my four biggest fans: Caroline, Rachel Iris Howard, and the man that grounds me, my husband! (Did I mention he is the best house cleaner ever ?)

How do I know what Christmas shows I watched as a child? Quite simple, my mother calls me and reminds me.......usually 5 minutes after it starts!

To make life a little simplier I have compiled a list of the major television networks and when they are playing all the beloved Christmas Shows. Some are old favorites and some are new ones!

Enjoy!
