I don't think life gets any better than this!

This is the water park at the Tridge in Midland. It is located where the Tittabawasse River and the Chippewa river meet just south of M-20. Midland is only about 20 minutes from the Wixom Lake area located in Beaverton, which is in Gladwin County.

Free entertainment for children and adults!

Sometimes the things in life that are FREE are the best!

If you're interested in buying or selling real estate here in Gladwin, Clare or Midland County, please do give me a call!

The months have flown by since this particular day. The day an older gentleman came into the office and I invited him to sit a spell. Turns out he was looking for someone, I was not that someone, but I tried to help him determine who he may have been looking for. We never did figure out who he was looking for, but that was not a problem for either one of us...

We chatted for a while, and I found out that he wrote poetry, and the nature of his call that day, was to share it with this person whom he was looking for, but since that person could not be found, he shared his poems and his writings with me. I in turn shared a poem with him, I had posted it as a blog entry, so I quickly found and printed it for him. He allowed me to make copies of some of the pieces and also gave me permission to post them on the internet for more to enjoy.

A couple weeks later I received in the mail a letter and additional writings. Most of the writings are very spiritual, and may not really be recepted by all, however, I have enjoyed them very much. He in turn asked permission to share the poem with his church member, which I granted.... I think my grandma would be pleased to hear that so many people are enjoying her heart felt poem about her hom....

I will always remember that day and would like to share this poem with you. In the future, I will plan to share a few more..

Two Smiles

When two smiles meet and both are sweet,

Then it surely is a pleasure,

To see both of them, each a perfect gem,

And each of them a lovely treasure.

There are many smile of various styles,

That may appear upon a face,

Make very, very, sure your smile is pure,

And you won't end up in disgrace.

Everyone enjoys, whether they are girls or boys,

Wearing a smile instead of a frown.

Just practive wearing a smile... all the while,

Out in the country as well as in town.

You'll find folks you meet on road or street,

Will give to you a smile of their own.

Soon you'll realize you can smile with your eyes,

And happiness will not be yours alone.

The appraisal is ordered by the lender and is important in determining the value of the home.

The home inspection is for the buyer and gives a detailed report in regards to the overall condition of the home. The inspection will include evaluating the structure and mechanical systems, it can give insight in regards to the remaining life of the systems as well as indicate repairs that may need done.

BE SURE - It is a buyers responsibility to verify the condition, square foot and other items of importance including a well and septic evaluation and water test.

Home Protection Plans are also available to buyers and are on occasion offered by a seller.

A little fawn is so cute to watch, they frolic about! Sometimes they're wobbly on their feet....

Deer season is here now and will continue in some form through the end of the year.

Please don't shoot ones with spots!

It's very common for deer to cross in front of you (sometimes dangerously so) as you're driving down just about any road here in Gladwin County. Certain times of year, time of day, or a particular road is more likely to find the deer.
