Thank you to All who served

Veteran’s Day, November 11th

Today we honor all of the Veterans who served our country.  Many in my family are included in this group including my uncle in the Army who crossed Europe in a tank, my uncle in the Navy on a ship in the Pacific and my father in the Navy who served in this country and supported the war efforts – all in World War II.  Unfortunately, this war did not end all wars.  

Let us pray for peace.

Dining Guide for Celebrating 4th of July in Carmel


It’s 4th of July weekend in Carmel-by-the-Sea and I think we’re all ready to celebrate!  How are you going to kick up your heels this weekend?  Spending time on the beach, playing golf, or taking in one of our great restaurants in Carmel?

Imagine teeing off on this gorgeous spot!

If you’d like a handy restaurant guide, here are a few restaurants you may want to consider.  However, you spend the weekend, have fun!!

And by the way, I’ll be at our CARMEL REALTY COMPANY office on Ocean Ave, between Dolores and Lincoln, south side of street, from 9:00am – 2:00pm for all of your real estate needs!

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

 

 

God Bless America ~ Happy Fourth of July!

America . . .  is not only the place where miracles happen, but where they happen all the time.   -Thomas Wolfe

This first half of the year has been a trying time for all of us.  I do believe, however, that miracles happen everyday in this great land of ours.  Let’s go out and make those miracles happen!

The national anthem by Whitney Houston

Happy Fourth of July!  Make it a safe and happy one.
