This one comes from a trip my family made back to Pittsburgh this week due to an unexpected death in the family. (I guess they all are unexpected in a way) We will miss you Danny. It was far too early for your time.

Even in the most of unfortunate times, whenever our family gets together, something funny is going to happen. (thanks to my mother-in-law) Yes, kids you have her genes.

Moments before this picture the dialog went something like this…

My daughter: Grandma, I think there is something back there!!!

Grandma: No there’s not!

BUMP!!!

So as you see, there was something back there…a row of Mailboxes. There are laws against damaging mailboxes.

Mailboxes are considered federal property, and federal law (Title 18, United States Code, Section 1705), makes it a crime to vandalize them (or to injure, deface or destroy any mail deposited in them). Violators can be fined up to $250,000, or imprisoned for up to three years, for each act of vandalism.

Coincidentally, there were more mailboxes falling over in the neighborhood…she says it was due to the high winds yesterday. Ahh…OK.

Stay tuned for next week’s “When Grandma’s gone bad!” on FOX
Have a great weekend!

A stroll through Downtown New Market MD

I had the luxury the other day to just take a walk through Downtown New Market. What character this little town has. The antique shops, the restaurants and the historic buildings are wonderful. I can’t believe how charming the “General Store” was!!! View the show and take a look at the extra photos for more. These cool fall days are a great time to visit downtown New Market. Finish off the evening with dinner at Mealey’s Restaurant. (Mealey’s has recently been sold to new owners)

Looking for a charming little town to hang your hat at the end of the day? New Market is that place. Conveniently located just off Interstate 70 between Frederick and Baltimore. You will have a quick commute to work…DC included. With modern day amenities close by, you can still escape the hustle and bustle of big cities here. Most building are on the historic registrar. Newer homes available down the street in communities like Lake Linganore, Westwinds, Eaglehead and more.

Looking to relocate to this area…give me a call. I’ll be glad to help you with your move.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours

Thank you for all of your support. Thank you for stopping by day in and day out to see what I am going to ramble on about today. Thank you for being there when I needed you most. Thank you for listening when I only needed an ear. Thank you for helping me see through things. Thank you for telling me to just shut up and do it. Thank you for being you. Thank you to my family for always being there. Thank you to the soldiers serving their country now and before. I am thankful for having all of you in my life.

Thank you Turkey for being golden brown and so juicy…

Have a great Thanksgiving.
