Real Estate

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

With the foreclosure rate rising and more and more people unable to make mortgage payments now seems to be the time to get my feet into the real estate business, homes will be selling for cents on the dollar in this area with a little help I could pick up a couple of very nice properties. I have found a new website to search the mls, Scottsdale Fine Properties has a lot of fine properties in Arizona and this is a place I love, I lived there for 10 years and would like to retire there someday, so buying real estate there is a smart move.

Earthquake

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Today a huge earthquake hit right outside of downtown Los Angles, it was reported as a 5.8 magnitude earthquake, which is not a huge one but is pretty big. They are reporting no damage and no injuries which I can not believe, there is no way some property was damaged and a big earthquake this close throws everyone back into a panic. So many people live in Los Angles a big earthquake at rush hour would be devastating and is something we do not want to see any time soon.

Mexico vacation

Monday, July 28th, 2008

In August, every year before school starts back in session, we take a huge family vacation, mainly to let the kids have some fun before school starts. This year we are loading up and heading south to Rocky Point Mexico, this has been a vacation spot that I have wanted to go to since I was in school, many years ago.

This Rocky Point vacation is going to be one that we remember for a long time. We booked our travel with a great web site, Oceano Rentals has a vast selection of rentals on the beach and I was very excited with the price it was outstanding. They have everything from rentals to properties that the owners are trying to sell.

We will be staying at Casa de Dolphin Azul it is a beautiful brand new property that has four bedrooms and four bathrooms. It will fit our family of eight in it nicely. The trip will be one that the entire family will enjoy and the entire family has worked hard this summer and they deserve a nice trip before school starts. I think we will try and make this trip to Rocky Point Mexico a yearly trip for the family, it is so very nice to get away for a couple of weeks to a nice place that is right on the ocean.

Training Camp

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

Training starts for the Tennessee Titians tomorrow and I for one can not wait to see what kind of a team Jeff Fisher puts together. I foresee a hold out for Albert Hanesworth, I do not see him coming to camp on time, I do not think it will be a huge distraction for the team he is hurt so often they are used to playing with out him in the lineup. The only draft pick the team has not signed is top pick Chris Johnson, I do not think he will be very long coming to camp he can not afford to miss the practice time. Football season is getting close and I am very happy.

Trade show

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

A couple of times a year we take our business to a trade show and try to spread the word about We Deliver Nashville. This time I am taking our trade show display to Dallas Texas. We have a new set up this year, we have went to a truss trade show display to show our graphics. This allows us to have all the information we want to get out to the trade show on a display wall, I think this method of trade show display will work a lot better than our old pop ups and table mounts stand ups. The Godfrey Group has done a wonderful job on the new display, and it looks so professional, I think it will be the talk of the trade show.
