This year we were invited to be on the Montgomery County pond tour. We were last on the tour in 2004 just after having our largest pond completed. Since then we have added a 3rd smaller goldfish pond out back and a large water garden out front. So though some have been out to our home before there have been many changes to include all the landscaping that has really filled in. Tim and I spent some time this past week getting things in shape around the house for the pre-tour as well as the pond tour itself.
The pre-tour allows everyone on the tour next week and the sponsors, to go out and see their fellow ponders ponds. So here are a few pics I took yesterday . Our pond is the larger photo
There were 7 ponds in all. All were unique in there own way. The tour will show pond planners how to work with a small space, ponds for beginners and ponds for those like Tim and I who have been in the hobby for 7 years and managed to turn their back yards into their own get away.
I was amazed by the ponds that people had in very small backyards. How they created their own little paradise and even though they did not have the benefit of living with woods around them or a few acres to add privacy, they managed to make their own private spaces with landscaping and creativity. Now we just have to keep everything outside looking good for the actual Pond Tour next Saturday.
If you are in the area, we certainly hope that you will stop by next Saturday to visit our gardens! We look forward to seeing you. Please enjoy the photos.

A great new feature for the children of Clarksville Tennessee. One more reason why Clarksville is a great place in which to raise a family!
A total of 120 Students started Clarksville's Middle College on the APSU campus on Monday. The students will be juggling not only High School Courses, but College Courses as well.
Students forego high school athletics, band and clubs if they elect a middle college experience. The program is designed to allow students to take needed high school courses while starting to build college credits.
"You are taking a road that has never been traveled before," Middle College High School Principal Melissa Champion said.
Funding through the Hope Lottery Scholarship and the Clarksville Montgomery County School system make this experience available for all, though all students are responsible for their own transportation to and from the University.
Additionally, the students have the responsibility to maintain their grades. Should they not pass a course, they are responsible for repaying the school system for tuition costs.
This is a great way for Clarksville's children to get a head start on their college as well as to learn valuable lessons of responsibility and accountablility.

Last week Ashley attended dance camp at one of Clarksville's Dance Studios - Clarksville Dance Force. They seemed to have a great time and Ashley has really come along way it seems. They did a bit of everything and even a little theatre. Guess dancers need that. At the end they put on a bunch of mini dances for us. They had been divided in groups and had to make up their own choreography. Can I tell you I think in that department they all have a ways to go. Glad they do not do that all the time! The older kids were pretty good but the younger such as Ashley's group were very silly. I was not surprised that Ashley's friend made much of it up. I guess the point was for them to have fun. I took a couple not so great photos of the event but not many since I wanted to watch and catch everything. The photo is of Ashley's little group. Just kinda standing there getting ready to perform.
Today we find out how they did as they get placed into the groups they will have classes with in Ballet and Jazz. Ashley also plans to take Acro,Tap and Ballet conditioning.
Many of you might be wondering what this has to do with Real Estate? Well, that is quite simple, Real Estate is an extension of our lives in a sense. I want my clients and my collegues to know who I am. It also gives me an opportunity to showcase some places in Clarksville that many will be interested in.
Thanks for stopping by.

Dedicated Clarksville Real Estate team with Crye-Leike Clarksville. We are here to assist you with your Clarksville Real Estate needs. Call us today.
Greetings from Clarksville, Tennessee, one of the best kept secrets of the Mid-South. My wife Pam and I are ready to assist you in your Clarksville real estate needs. Pam is a native of Clarksville and is passionate about helping folks in the Clarksville and Fort Campbell areas find that right property. I too am passionate about assisting both buyers and sellers in their transistion. Your satisfaction is our number one priority. Having served 20 years in the Army, many of which were spent on Fort Campbell, I understand the stress associated with moving.
As I said, Pam grew up right here in Clarksville, Tennessee. I was born and raised outside of Houston Texas close to the coast. Uncle Sam called right out of High School and knowing that I wanted to be a Veternarian and knowing I did not have the financial means (nor the grades) to pursue this, I figured 3 years in service of our Nation was the natural choice. 20 years later I wondered were the time went.
Pam and I are blessed with a wonderful daughter, Ashley Kate. We also have three dogs, a cat, and a whole bunch of Japanese Koi/Carp. I enjoy the art of Nishikigoi more than Pam, but we both enjoy working in the yard and enjoy our fish. Aside from that, we devote our time to our daughter's dance and Pam enjoys scrapbooking and blogging. She really is very talented.
We both enjoy helping people and both enjoy viewing real estate and seeing the potential in every property.
Thank you for stopping by.
We deal with both buyers and sellers in the Clarksville and Fort Campbell Real Estate market. Additionally, we are familiar with multi-family units and have a few clients which we assist in the purchase and sell of multi-family properties. Areas of expertise is probably not an appropriate title for this as I do not believe there is an 'expert' in this profession. Rather, there are passionate and caring agents who look out for their clients best interests and go that extra mile to assist. That more appropriately defines our style and our goal.
When we were looking for our first house we talked to a lot of Realtors. And we kind of got burnt out on looking and then my husband and I were on-line looking at houses one night. And we put our info in Pam's site and she called and she was so polite and helpful . And above all she was not PUSHY!!!! She worked patiently with me to find what I wanted and it was not immediately either we are talking weeks went by and we had looked at all kinds of houses every where within Clarksville. Through it all she was still so nice and patient with me. Well we had looked at everything out there almost and we kept in contact. Both looking for that next one and if I found something I would call her and she would look it up for me and we would go see it. The point is she helped us find the house of our dreams! Pam and Tim are super people who understand being military and that because they once were. And they still keep in touch with us and that says something right there in it's own. Thank you Pam and Tim Cash for all that you have done for me and others . For you both are far more than just a Realtor. You made us feel like family .

We moved to Clarksville from Texas and knew no one so we selected the realtor from the first house we visited. We soon learned that this realtor was more interested in making money than helping us get a good deal. One day, while out visiting open houses on our own, we met Pam and Tim Cash. We talked for a long time and they suggested other neighborhoods for us to visit and genuinely seemed to care about our needs. They were so open, honest and caring that we called them a few days later and asked them to be our realtor. Working with them felt like dear, trusting friends showing us around and we soon found a house to fit our needs. "We've moved around a lot in the last 10 years and have worked with many different realtors in many different states (Virginia, Ohio, Texas) and Pam and Tim are hands down the best. In fact, we look forward to having to sell our home so that we can work with them again. Sherry and Don Platek

Working with Tim and Pam was great. They found exactly what we were looking for and stuck within our price range. We chose a few houses we wanted to see and they added a few along the way that they thought we might like and within days of beginning to house hunt, we were able to make an offer. We were pressed for time to close and Tim and Pam made it possible by getting things done. They were genuinely focused on helping us 100% of the way. It was great working with them and we couldn't have asked for better realtors for our first time buying experience. We highly recommend them to anyone interested in buying a new home."

We recently purchased our home through the Cash Team. The service they provided was excellent and they truly care about their customers. We recommend the Cash Team to anyone considering the sale or purchase of a home as they are true professionals that go the extra mile to satisfy and assist their customers. They listen and always place the
customers needs first in all transactions. If we decide to sell or buy again, the Cash Team will be our first choice to represent us.
Sincerely, Clif & Carol O'Brien

We are so thankful that Pam and Tim Cash were our realtors. They successfully sold our house in a difficult market. They worked tirelessly to market our house. We had to move out of state while the house was for sale, and we left its care in their very capable hands. They arranged for lawn maintenance, and they frequently went out to the house to make sure the sign was posted, that there were fliers available, and that the house was spotless and ready to show. Once our house was under contract, they arranged and supervised the minor repairs that had to be done to the house. We have bought and sold four houses before this one. We had good experiences with all of the realtors, but working with Pam and Tim was by far the best realtor experience of them all. I highly recommend Pam and Tim. They are hardworking and determined to sell your house, and they then continued to provide such wonderful assistance all the way through closing.
