Real Estate …. or Renovate?
Your home is your castle. But maybe your castle has looked a little rough lately. The towers need re-roofing, the drawbridge has a broken chain, and the moat smells a little, well, moat-y. So you look around and you think, do I spend my hard-earned gold on fixing all these issues, or do I just pack it all up and move to that new castle subdivision they’re building over in the next valley?

Hello Halloween

Why We Should All be Shopping at Farmers Markets
One of the more interesting and fantastic things about living where we do, is that there’s so much natural beauty to be seen in our area. We have gorgeous walking trails, clean lakes, quaint towns, and vast acres of land well worked by our local farmers, some of whom have been here for generations. These local farms produce everything from beef to vegetables, to pork and chicken, to fruit and honey, and it’s all available to us fresh...
