To Catch lots of fish, you must first go to the water

http://www.heartsandminds.org/quotes/action.htm

Ok, we are realtors, not fisherman....

However, the phrase still applies.

Your fish may be the buyers and sellers out there, and just like fish, there are all kinds.

The water is out there! The internet, the office, "farming", the newspaper, the grocery store....

Walk the walk, talk the talk.....

Let's go fishing.

Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.

- Edmund Burke

I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
- Edward Everett Hale

One of my daughters will have a booth there tomorrow. If my schedule permits I will zip in. Right now it's a little questionable as to whether I can make it. I think her dad is planning to go. I should suggest he go at the end of the day so he can help her carry her stuff.....

Robinson Industries of Beaverton Michigan is to be featured on 'World's Greatest' TV show

The Beaverton thermoforming company, Robinson Industry, will be featured on an upcoming segment on the ION Network's 'World's Greatest'

Executive Producer Gordon Freeman commented "Robinson Industries is one of those companies that we like to feature on 'World's Greatest'.

They are a Michigan company that is family-owned, fourth generation, women-owned, and started by Fred Robinson, a very innovative man who was a pioneer in the Plastics Industry."

"His early techniques of thermoforming, while made better over time, are still used today, along with the Robinson Industries injection molding processes," he added. "We think their story will be meaningful to our viewers."

The show will air on cable at 6:30 a.m. EST on Feb. 6, 2012; and at 11 a.m. on Feb. 13, 2012; as well as at 7:30 a.m. on Feb. 20, 2012.

I grew up less than ten miles from Robinson Industries. Went to school with a couple of the younger daughters. My cousin married one of the older daughters. Have family and friends that work there. It is an important part of our community and business history.

It really is winter here in Beaverton MI.

Even though I think we have had less snow than normal and higher than usual temperatures.

Some days are white and grey all day, like Monday of this week was.

Other days are sunny and I saw a couple of flocks of geese fly over the office today.

They were heading North East. They must have decided to stay here for the winter!

Any way, whether it's warm or cold for you

Happy Ground Hogs Day!

Six more weeks of Winter

Six weeks til Spring!
