August!?

I can not believe it is August already! The month of July flew by faster than I ever remember - that is scary. Between working in the real estate world, bartending at Side Street Cafe, cleaning a rental cottage, catering on a boat, and babysitting my nieces it is no wonder that time is flying. Making hay while the sun shines as my mother would say.....hopefully I'll be able to live off some of this hay during the winter!

As far as real estate goes, I recently sold a home to dear friends of mine and even though the deal was somewhat complicated I was so happy to have worked with them in buying their FIRST home! There are also some great new listings and a new pending I'm working on - keeping my fingers crossed!

Here are few shots to show the craziness.....

Business AND Busy-ness

Summer in Maine - what a treat! This is the time of year we wait for all winter...hot, sunny weather, all of the local businesses are open, real estate is picking up, taking trips to the beach (once for me so far this summer), and bbq-ing with friends (less and less as the craziness of August arrives). It sometimes feels like living here on the coast of Maine is all or nothing! No complaints though from me....it feels great to be busy with work and busy with life. In the craziness of it all, I am fortunate that I recently got to visit some dear friends who camp annually on Hermit Island near Bath, Maine. It was so great to take a couple of days to visit, beach it, enjoy the campfire, and even take in a lip sync concert care of my favorite 3 and 5 year olds.

Here are a few pictures from the days that I was lucky enough to "play" tourist.
