Chester County Pa Homes and Groundhog Day


Real Estate Pa Spring Predictions, Super Bowl Sunday, Groundhog Day?

Chester County Pennsylvania Realtors across the State mark the two events of Super Bowl Sunday and Punxsutawney Ground Hog Day on their Real Estate calendar. Groundhog  Day weekend events are held in Gobblers Knob in Punxsutawney Pa January 30th to February 2nd.

Will Pennsylvania’s Punxsutawney Phil See His Shadow? You can vote too. A “No” Vote means we get an early Spring. So vote early and often.

Realtors look forward to these two events with anticipation. Legend has it that the Real Estate Spring market officially begins after Super Bowl Sunday.

Since 1886, Punxsutawney Phil is the Groundhog who predicts the weather and the arrival of Spring. Here’s how it works. If the Groundhog sees his Read the rest of this entry »

Happy New Year 2009 From Chester County Main Line Pa Today


Wish you could be everywhere at once to usher in the New Year? Try some of the International Web Cams from Times Square to D.C to London and Waikiki.

Do you ever feel that there’s just not enough time in the day to do all you want to do. There will be a leap second added at the end of 2008 for all of the atomic clocks to sync with the true rotation of the earth so that the Sun remains overhead at precisely 12 noon.  Seems that the Earth is occasionally a little wobbly (gosh, do you think?). Just a little more evidence, if you needed it, that 2008 is one of the quirkiest years ever. Read the rest of this entry »

Clays Bakery Berwyn – Yummy Local Places


Clays Creative Corner Bakery in Berwyn – A Yummy Local Place

“Now, there’s Clays Creative Corner Bakery. When you want a great cake for a holiday celebration, Clays Creative Bakery Berwyn Pawedding, party, or “just because”, you MUST go to Clay’s”. That’s what I tell my Relocation Buyers.

Realtors are like everyone else. We all have our favorite business places. You know, the place where you can depend on great service and good stuff. What’s different about Realtors is that it’s part of our job to know a little something about some of the Yummy Local Places. It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it.

In the spirit of doing my Yummy Local Places research, I stopped in to visit Denise at Clays Bakery, named for Denise’s Father, Clayton, who was a Tredyffrin Police Officer. Denise, her Mother and husband, Bill founded Clays’ 18 years ago. Hard work built a successful business. It’s not unusual for them to be in the shop in the wee hours of the morning April to June, the peak celebration months. Read the rest of this entry »

Blog Action Day-Survive To Five-Save The Children


It was Winston Churchill who said, “You make a living by what you get, but you make a life by what you give”.

Blog Action Day 2008 Poverty
Today is World Wide Blog Action Day and the topic is Poverty. This is a “me too” blog post day in the hope that we can generate one or thousands of “me too” actions to help alleviate poverty in our own country and internationally. I was reminded by Brian Clark over at Copyblogger. His eloquent post is inspiring. Brian writes the way we all wish we could. If you have a Blog, you’ve heard of Brian Clark.

Donate to Save The Children, where an admirable 90% of your donation will go out the door to help real children. Save The Children, Winston Churchill and a love of good writing appear to be what Brian and I have in common. How about you?

Survive To Five – Knit An Infant Cap

Save The Children – Survive To Five – Knit One To Save One There are several Infant Cap Designs for the novice and experienced Knit or Crochet crafter. Many of my friends like to knit and crochet. Use your talent to help an infant survive through a program sponsored by Save The Children called Survive To Five-Knit One To Save One. There are pdf and word format patterns here for knitting an infant cap to send to Save The Children and instructions for hosting local events.

Send me your pictures of infant caps you donate and I’ll post them here.

Update 12/23/08 – With gratitude to Lynn Anne and Pia  and other caring knitters, who made it possible for us to send 14 Infant Hats to Save The Children “Knit One Save One”. These hats and letters will be presented to President Barack Obama, January 2009 on behalf of the millions of at risk infants around the world. Sponsored by The Warm Up America Foundation.

Grace and Peace, Judy
