One of my favorite things kicks off this weekend. Winterfest in downtown Raleigh. Come have a great time, enjoy the season and support your local businesses! http://www.godowntownraleigh.com/shop-downtown

I am so proud to say I had a hand in selling one of this year’s Gold winners in the Wake County Parade of Homes. It is true gem built by Dixon Kirby in Oaks at Fallon Park inside Raleigh’s beltline. I have know all along that these are some of the most creative and thoughtful builders around and this home proves it. If you missed it, I hope you get the chance to see their work elsewhere.

For the next three weekends, some of the most beautiful homes being built in Wake County are on display. I sold this one already in The Oaks at Fallon Park inside Raleigh’s beltline.

I can’t get really great pictures of it right now because everyone was busily getting it ready for Parade. I can assure you its worth seeing! Built by Dixon Kirby! The one next door to it will also be open. If you are touring homes, have a great time. And remember, I can help should you decide to buy one!

While on “staycation” I’ve seen a lot of things around Raleigh I just never took the time to notice. I saw the newspaper being printed in the middle of the night at the News and Observer building. I went to the Berkley Cafe for the first time. I saw the Mecca sign at night in the pouring rain. I can’t wait to explore this great city
more in the next couple of days. Maybe I
will see more things I haven’t before. It’s a good life!

This is the Bell Tower at NC State University. I noticed the flag, which is at half-staff in honor of those killed over the weekend at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin.

It’s about to rain but still plenty of people enjoying sitting outside. I love the fact that I don’t even have a car right now and I will meet up with two groups of friends tonight. Happy Monday!
