How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.



  Annie Dillard


Dear Friends and Clients,


As we embrace the warmth of summer and celebrate National Home Ownership Month, I can't help but reflect on the significance of this time. It's not just about the sunshine and the longer days; it's about the dreams we nurture and the goals we strive to achieve.


With Father's Day upon us, it's a time to honor the paternal figures in our lives and the role they play in shaping our aspirations, including our dreams of homeownership. Whether you're a father yourself or cherishing the memories of one, this month holds a special place in our hearts.


As we venture into the summer listing season, the real estate market brims with opportunities, however, it's important to check your hazard insurance policy for adequate coverage, especially with the impending fire season ahead. Given the upward trend in construction costs, it's prudent to contemplate those implications for your policy as well. Now is the perfect time to reevaluate and ensure your coverage aligns with the evolving landscape.


Times may have evolved in real estate, but my experience and knowledge remain steadfast. Whether you're seeking to secure a mortgage or exploring alternative investment avenues, rest assured, I have the expertise to assist you. Let's think boldly and seize the opportunities that lie ahead.


Remember, real estate isn't just about transactions; it's about building futures and creating lasting memories. With me by your side, we'll not only meet your needs but also ensure a touch of fun along the way. Together, we can turn your real estate dreams into reality. So why wait? Give me a call, and let's make it happen!


I eagerly anticipate the return of our valued clients, residents, and visitors this summer. Your presence adds vibrancy to our community, and I look forward to reconnecting with each and every one of you. Here's to a season filled with warmth, joy, and exciting real estate ventures. See you soon!


Warm regards,

Denise

HEALTH ADVICE FROM CERI

-Fireworks - Run for Cover!

I think I'm going to climb in the cool ferns and hide as we approach the dreaded fireworks season. While many anticipate the dazzling displays and vibrant celebrations, for us four-legged pals, it's a time of anxiety and uncertainty. It's not my favorite and it's different for all of us, “It can be the smell. It can be the noise and the flashes of the light,” says Woodstown, New Jersey-based Dr. Judy Morgan, DVM, of Dr. Judy Morgan’s Naturally Healthy Pets. Your dog may “tremble, shake, shiver, howl, and bark — some of them get frantic.”


Here's a great article on navigating the explosive chaos of fireworks for us, and finding solace in the midst of the booming frenzy. click here

DENISE'S COOKING CORNER

- The BEST Blueberry Cobbler

DENISE'S READING CORNER

- Very Bad Company by Emma Rosenblum

Three days in paradise.

Ten dysfunctional colleagues.

A billion-dollar deal.

 

When Caitlin accepts a new high-powered job at Aurora, she already knows she’s going to have to take the good with the bad.

 

On the one hand, the senior team she’s joining is full of big personalities, never happier than when nursing a bitter grudge or pursuing an illicit affair.

 

On the other, the company is up for sale, and if they can just hold it together at their glamorous corporate retreat, each is set to make millions.

 

But when the group heads out on the first night of the trip, everyone drinks too much. People say – and do – things they’ll soon regret.

 

And next morning, one of the team is missing.

 

The stakes couldn’t be higher. They are each on the brink of being set for life.

 

Unless someone is intent on making a very different kind of killing . . .
