Mineral, VA

FAAR's (Fredericksburg Area Association of REALTORS) Sixth Annual Cereal drive is underway. With 38 real estate companies collecting donations of cereal and/or money, we are well ahead of last year when there were 27 companies. Area food banks will benefit from the efforts of REALTORS in your communities.

Please be as supportive as you can be. The economy has been hard on many of us and yet there are those that have been affected even more. Food banks are there to help these neigbors and often provide the food that makes a difference between hunger and a decent meal.

RE/MAX Edge, located at 5205 Courthouse Road at Lake Anna, is one of the collection points. You may drop your donations there if you live or visit that area. RE/MAX Edge is donating all of the cereal and monetary donations to two area food banks, half to the one located in Louisa County and half to Fredericksburg Area Food Bank which includes Spotsylvania County where my office at Lake Anna is located.

The next time you go grocery shopping and pick up a box of cereal, pick up an extra one (or two or more) for this worthy cause. Drop off your donation and you will be sure to receive a great big thank you from all of us at RE/MAX Edge. We have two weeks left. Enough time for you to help.

If you have any question or would like more information contact me at 540-226-1964 or lakeanna.kate@gmail.com and I will be happy to help you.

Please help make this drive a success. What takes very little effort on your part can make a great deal of difference to others. Thanks to all of you that plan to do just that.

While some of us may think of rainy days as days to snuggle up on the couch and read a book, others say this is a good time to be out fishing.

Those of us at Lake Anna are no different. Some of us do not venture out on those drizzely days unless it is absolutely necessary. However, we too have our exceptions.

A couple of days ago I was out doing some real estate related tasks. It was not the prettiest day as we were having more of the rain we need to keep our lake filled to the brim.

As I was passing over one of Lake Anna's bridges I noticed a couple of men fishing. This is a common sight on bright, sunny days as well as on cloudy, rainy days.

This time I decided to take some shots. It is very possible that many people thinkof Lake Anna, and having a good time down here, when the weather is warm and sunny. That may be true for some but believe me, there are many others that find this is the opportune time to getting some productive fishing in.

Not only do the fish seem to be biting when the weather is like this, it is also a time that you are not sharing the lake with water skiers, jet skis, and all the other assorted boaters typically out there on sunny days.

I thought you might like to see that some are not only taking advantage of this type of weather but actually enjoying themselves. How about getting out there and having some fun?
