Southern Maryland Homes for Sale

Confessions of a Southern Maryland Realtor Snack Food Addict...for the record...Okay, this post was inspired by Richard Weisser's Georgia Post about domain names. However, this confession is made possible by the 30 days of 30 postings without a listing post contest sponsored by Active Rain. So, for posterity, my Snack Food Addictions have included but are not limited to:

The entire Sixth Grade of lunch bags filled with  Peanut Butter and Marshmellow Sandwiches. You'd have to be there...no comment form the Peanut Gallery!

Several years of Jeep Rides for a McFlurry with Oreo and Reese's Pieces and Trapper Triever by my side.

Several calorie laden years of "my Jeep brakes for all Starbucks" as in the Venti Java Chip Frap.

And currently, unveiled, are the Jeep Jaunts to Rolands for the 100 calorie Ice Cream Klondike Bars. The only problem is that there are six in a box.

I would trade this for the name domain addiction any day. But Riley Rover has a say, and clear as day, he likes the last bite of the Klondike Bar. And if there are six, he gets more licks!

The Fall 2010 Parks and Rec Bulletin has a Calvert County Maryland "How Grateful I Am" Children's Writing Contest. It's geared toward the Thanksgiving range so entries must be submitted to either of the Twin Beach Community Centers by November 17, 2010. The winning entries will be displayed at the Northeast Community Center. Visit www.co.cal.md.us for more information.

Children between the ages of 10 to 16 can write an essay of 300 words or less expressing why they are thankful. It's not so hard to do, but the results can be Golden for  a lifetime.

When I was in Sixth Grade, the American Legion sponsored a writing contest titled. "What Freedom Means to Me." I wrote my entry and proudly showed my Dad. He was less impressed. He said I would not win any contests with that entry. So I quietly rewrote it and submitted it.

Now, when they announced the winner of the "What Freedom Means to Me" at the Sixth Grade Graduation, I was one of the THUDS but what was much more fun was to know my Dad was the other THUD on the floor. I won a paper certificate that has given us a lifetime of laughter. Even way back then, I knew to never, never, never give up.

Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Mo,...Which is the next Southern Maryland Listing to Go? Okay, I am on a Cliffhanger. It has really got me curious. Each time there is another cell phone text message from Centralized Showing Service, I am making a bet in my head. I am really stumped this Labor Day Week.

I have some hot to trot Southern Maryland Listings. Razor sharp, bleeding edge pricing. Staged to the NINES or priced bigtime to make up for not. I cannot figure it out. Usually I have a hunch. It's like microwave in the popcorn. You know as a Listing Agent that sound when a Southern Maryland listing is about to get an offer. Or several. But which one first?

Okay, since I am stumped, you figure it. Here you go....and the winner of the first offer in this week for these Golden Results Southern Maryland Listings is?????

RE/MAX 100 and Friends invite you to join us for the Fifth Annual Komen Boardwalkathon in North Beach and Chesapeake Beach MD on Saturday Morning Sept 18, 2010 from 7:30 to 11:00 AM. The entry fee is $25.00 and all proceeds are donated to Komen. We start at the North Beach Fire Department and head toward the North Beach Boardwalk first. It's always a pretty day on the Chesapeake Bay but this time in the Fall is fun for all! Then we swing around that Boardwalk, round the corner near Sweet Sue's and head back. We have water in coolers along the way. The beach and views and charity event always makes this a fun walk to do!

After we return to the North Beach Fire Department, we walk the sidewalks past Rod n Reel and swing up some back roads to pick up the Chesapeake Beach Boardwalk. We do that loop and then if you really want to know the scoop, a bunch of us hit the deck at Trader's and order up big country breakfasts outdoors on the last leg of the walk.

Bring your friends, neighbors, coworkers and family to join us on this yearly event. You'll want to come back! You can make donations at RE/MAX 100 10425 Southern Maryland Blvd. Dunkirk MD 20754 OR lace up your Sneakers and join us. We'd love to have you come this year!

For every action there is a reaction...in Active Rain Blogging, too! Okay, I am about a third of the way through the Active Rain Challenge of write thirty blogs, one a day, no listings included, for thirty days. Sound easy? Try it!

I have noticed with blogging that I now observe my surroundings more and then take more photos. A basic non interest in photography has zoomed up to a very healthy interest. This means I notice my surroundings more and then take time to photograph them to illustrate a point.

Hence, I pulled over on a sunny day and took photos of a sunflower field. Then I stopped and took note of a gaggle of geese. This same gaggle caused a traffic jam in the Beach the following week. I am thinking of posts during the day. I am reading Realtor articles more intently to discuss different items. I am more engaged I would say. Not to mention I am in Barnes and Noble looking over photography books.

My Physics Class had it right. For every action there is a reaction. Have a Safe Labor Day Weekend and enjoy the unexpected sunshine. Hey, wander down to Southern Maryland to soak up some Bay on a Sunny day! You just may want to check out homes in this easy D.C. Getaway..for every action there is a reaction, and it will be love at first sight in Southern Maryland. P.S. The Geese have the right of way. P.S.S. There's a place to stay overnight and a Breakfast Buffet in the morning at the Road n Reel Complex below. Oh, and order up a crabfeast at Abner's across the street. That Southern Maryland combo is tough to beat!

Traffic Jam Southern Maryland Style in Chesapeake Beach MD means no ambulance , no police car , no temper tantrums no...HUH? It's the Feather Flotilla. The Geese. They gather and cross at the intersection of the Town of Chesapeake Beach. They have right of way, too. They trump everything. We hang our heads out the window and watch, but shout or grumble, nope.

They seem to have a pecking order. A series of job descriptions. An order to their day. I would not miss it for the world. Darn, I need to have my Flip with me and film it sometime. It's just part of an ordinary Southern Maryland Day by the Bay in Chesapeake Beach MD.

If you would like some splish splash by the Chesapeake Bay but do not want to spend part or your day crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge for sounds of the surf, venture down Pennsylvania  Avenue Labor Day this Holiday Weekend  and spend some time in Southern Maryland. The White House is at one end of Rt. 4 but you'll want to find a house at this end once you discover the charm and beauty of this within commuting distance to DC every day by the Chesapeake Bay area.

Check out  the Water Park in Chesapeake Beach MD this Labor Day Holiday Weekend on your list of Stuff to do  in Southern Maryland. Or head down to the Old Fashioned Candy Store in North Beach MD. Then tote your fishing pole out on the North Beach Pier. Stroll the Solomons Island Boardwalk. Check out the crabs at Mels near Ponds Wood Road on your way home. Just toss in some Old Bay and a can of beer, or have them prepared for you at Abners in Chesapeake Beach MD. There's Bay and Boats and Beach and Barns and most of all, it is a place to call home.
