Trick or Treat on “Happy Street”!

I put my Halloween wares out last night. Actually, we carved a pumpkin about 10 days ago but with all the rain and heat it didn’t fare so well – it had a melt-down so to speak. Our house on “Happy Street” is ready for the Halloween Parade, which is […]

It’s Throwback Thursday!

In 1997 I sold this home in South Miami to very good friends (seems like a lifetime ago). It wasn’t the ‘dream house’ we had been looking for but it had all the makings for it: a beautiful half-acre on a quiet winding street, good floor plan, a giant detached […]

It’s Throwback Thursday!

Well this was a dramatic change, especially in South Miami! The original house was built in 1961 and occupied by the most wonderful family for over 50 years. Bettie and Frank may have been my very favorite neighbors, and when we sold this sweet house on the Snapper Creek Canal […]
