ACAC Fitness and Wellness Center in West Goshen, my favorite place to get fit, is calling all pet owners! They are hosting their 1st Annual Dog Days of Summer Pet Photo Contest!
To enter, just bring your favorite pet pictures to the Trackside Cafe. Hurry, the contest ends on 8/15! They will display your photo for all to admire in the lobby! I stopped by there today and there were some really cute dog and cat photos! I honestly don't know how they'll pick second prize, because you know, my JJ will win first prize ... paws down!!
Here's my entry:
Voting will take place August 16th to August 31st with the winner in each category to be announced on September 3rd (my 50th birthday... just to see if you have kept on reading!!). Not sure what the prizes are, but I know my little baby is going to win!
Not a member of ACAC? Stop by membership and ask for Jeanette Mills! Tell her Susan Mangigian sent you!
Good luck to all!
Last night, the girls and I went into West Chester for Swinging Thursday. This happens the first Thursday of the month, during the summer, and the borough blocks off 2 blocks and there is music, dancing, food, stuff for the children and a good time for all who attend. Last night was no exception and we tapped our feet to the beat of the salsa band. Music was provided by Jimmy Jorge and the Latin Express, and the World music of Siora!
These two little guys really got into it.
My girl Melissa Ford and her dance partner from Salsa dance class had a good time as well!
My apologies for the quality of the pictures, I only had my cell phone. Note to self.... take your camera next time!
The fun goes from 6:30 to 9:00 PM. You can eat at any of the wonderful local restaurants, or you can grab ribs and pork sandwiches like we did from Captain Dick's stand. They were the best ribs I have ever had in my life and I can't wait until next month to eat them again.
So, tune into West Chester borough on the first Thursday in September for dozens of crafters, strolling magicians, jugglers, and the TCL clown! Food vendors and local restaurants provide great eating. You won't be sorry!
Mill Creek is a lovely, small neighborhood conveniently located off of Boot Road, between Paoli Pike and Greenhill, in East Goshen Township, Chester County. Mill Creek is walking distance to the Hershey's Mill Shopping center, where you can go food-shopping, get your hair done, get a hoagie at Subway, a wonderful pasta dish at Vano's (wonderful pizza too), or pick up a prescription at either the Genuardi's pharmacy or Rite Aide! Genuadi's, my favorite food store, has everything from fresh meat and seafood to a wonderful deli. Since I like the European style of shopping for what you feel like that day, I am over there almost everyday!
I have had several listings in Mill Creek over the years. All homes are 4 or more bedrooms, the houses range in size from about 2600 square feet up to about 3300 square feet. Most lots are 1/2 an acre or more. The lots are wider than they are deep, giving the neighborhood a wide open feeling.
There is currently one home for sale in this lovely neighborhood. Listed at $625,000, it sits at the end of a cul-de-sac and boasts a lovely floor plan.
If you are interested in knowing more about Mill Creek, East Goshen, or Chester County, I'd love to be the one to take you on a tour of the area!

From Steve and Lisa
What made you select me as your Realtor? - We liked your demeanor the first time you took us to see a house. We were taken by your approachability, flexibility, and... you're just so nice. Plus, there was no pressure to sign the exclusive agreement.
What did you like best about working with me? - You never gave up on us. Even by the one hundredth and sixty fifth house (or something in that ball park), you continued to treat us the same way, each time we saw another house.
Was there something about me that you didn't like? Be honest. No; the entire experience was good. We were very pleased.
Looking back on your transaction, what stands out the most in your mind? The fact that you never pushed us in a direction that we were uncomfortable with. For example, when selling our home, we chose not to hold an open house. That meant a lot.

Did you find me easy to work with? A delight. A pleasure even.
Were you satisfied with my service overall? Absolutely.
Would you recommend me to a friend or a relative? Definitely.
Would you be willing to speak with a potential client if they asked me for a reference? If I can recommend your soup, too, of course. . . .

What did you like best about working with me? Relaxed, good-humored, patient, with no sense of urgency or push to closure.
Was there something about me that you didn't like? Be honest. Honestly? No, we were all very happy with your service.
Looking back on your transaction, what stands out the most in your mind? Who knew buying a house over six months could be so much fun. You kept our protracted, evening-time house hunt pleasant and painless.
