I have 2 wonderful dogs; duchess and sheila.  I've told you about Sheila in a previous post. Welcome back.. to me and of course there is our spoiled prima donna Duchess.

I always get my animals from a shelter and I’ve never been disappointed with a single one of them.  Yes, some require special attention, but once they settle in they are loyal devoted friends for life. 

 

 If you are an animal lover as I am, I recently came across a wonderful opportunity to help animals in need.

Every click in the purple box on this page sends free food to animal rescues. It is sponsored by the animal rescue site of PetFinders.com. It is completely free - no obligation or annoying followups. You can do this everyday if you wish.     If you are an… Read Full Post

More news on the Panama City International Airport...

Authorities challenge the recent contruction halt granted by a federal court in New York city to a group of local general aviation pilots calling themselves the "Friends of PFN".

Authorities have filed a motion to lift an emergency stay granted to a group of local pilots who oppose the project. There is a link to the full story below.

These continuing lawsuits filed by this group will only add to the develoment costs of the new Panama City International Airport.

Their continuing efforts to stop the progress of Panama City is not in the best interest of businesses and residents.

It's time they faced reality and stopped wasting tax payer dollars!

I fully support this move by the airport…

Lately, I've been on quite a ride with my business (thanks to all my wonderful new and repeating customers).  And that's a great thing!

As the holiday season approaches and 2007 comes to end, I find myself having alot to say!  Recently I've written articles for Renters, buyers and sellers and I'm currently working on a multi-part investor series of articles.

Several of these recent articles have been released to various real estate industry websites and that is fueling my current need to write more articles.

It's strange that what has historically been a slow season for my business, has me producing more articles and helping more customers purchase and sell their Panama City Real Estate Properties.  Who said the real estate market is dead?

As I begin…

Did you know that within a 1/2 hour drive from Panama City and the new International Airport there are some great family and adult entertainment venues?

For instance:

There's the Ebro Greyhound Race Track located on hwy 79 in Washington County.  In addition to dog racing they have a sit down restaurant and card room.  Jessie and I have spent many an evening having dinner and watching the dogs run as well as laughing at some of the funnier moments at the track  (the professional pooper scoopers are hysterical).

The Breakaway Drag strip, an IHRA sanctioned race track is within a 40 minute drive from Panama City located just off hwy 231.  This family entertainment venue has long been a local favorite with racers coming from all over the country. …

As I prepare for our Thanksgiving day celebration and feast (Jessie will be cooking his now famous Turkey in a bag with potatoe stuffing dinner, mmm! ), I'd like to take a moment and thank all my past and current customers for their loyal continued support and business.  This season above many in the past I am most grateful to my family and friends for their support as my business expands and the reliance on my team increases.

Their dedication and loyalty to me and my goals is an inspiration that continues to drive me forward toward new and improved customer services.

As the Panama City Real Estate market continues to expand, information for buyers, sellers and investors becomes exceedingly more important.  The necessary available information to make an…
