A Cappella

Larry Matthews: Real Estate Agent in Enfield, NS

A Cappella

A Cappella is Italian for in the manner of the church or in the manner of the chapel. The music is specifically solo or group singing with out instruments.
The songs of course do not have to be church related but listening to an accomplished A Cappella singer can bring about an almost spiritual feeling akin to being closer to God or our creator as we perceive our creator to be.
As a Christian I find the music makes mhttp://e feel closer to God and that is a feeling I enjoy and strive for in my life. One A Cappella singer I enjoy immensely and have just discovered is Peter Hollens. I invite you to listen to his singing at www.youtube.com/peterhollens
Peter has been singing and recording a cappella since 1999. His music is available for download on iTunes. I am a fan and if you love listening to a wonderful capella singer check out Peter Hollens. Here is that link again.
http://www.youtube.com/peterhollens consider downloading some of Peter’s music from iTunes and help a fine young singer do what he does best. Sing like an Angel !!!!

All the best

Snowbirds enjoy your trip South but is your house insured while you are away?

home sitting services - home insurance - Remax Nova

Like many Canadians, I too enjoy escaping the harsh Winter months for some R & R, sunshine, & a break from the snow. We often spend hours scouring the internet for the best price & best place to vacation, make all the travel plans, stop the paper delivery, figure out what to pack, do you need that new bathing suit... However, have you ever checked your home owner insurance policy to see how often & who is required to visit your home? Did you know that many policies require that someone visit & log/document the visit every 48 hours? That without proof, your policy could be voided should, heavens forbid, a disaster occurs in or to your home. So should your brother-in-law or neighbor forget or put off visiting your home for that one extra day, & a fire should break out or a pipe leak, your insurance company may not cover your home for damages because it was not checked on within the required time frame &/or properly documented.

In Nova Scotia, we are very lucky to have a service being offered to us by the Commissionaires.
