It doesnt surprise you. It's not ordinary,but it stays the same. Visitors can come back and know what they are coming back to. Locals also enjoy the expected, not the unexpected. It is an enviornment which works and continues to evolve but keeps it sameness and draws a constant tranquil bath. Homes- great year to purchase- Interest rates are at a 60 year low, and we are at the bottom...Though not expected to make a sharp V turn upward..we made it to the bottom and are now resting for awhile..We are hearing some good stories from some of our Mid- Western customers that home sales are up and some buyers are getting ready to move down. It's the domino effect.
Condominiums- Now more than ever if you own a condominium or are thinking of a purchase it is important to be involved with marketing your property..it can mean 7-$10,000 more income per year. Go to Craig's List, Go to VRBO- join

On the shore this morning I watched 2 small boats of fisherman throw their nets. It was still dark, and their figures were highlighted by the lights from the east of fort myers beach. I wondered if they caught anything.. My dog made me run..the sun was rising.... ( gosh..this sounds like a Movie plot ) Have a great week. Glenn
Oct 6- Oct 14
Hearing about 9 degree weather from my family in montana it is hard to believe we are on the same planet..here on the islands we are at 93 degrees and longing for 88 degrees.. We do have a promise of a cool front coming in this coming Sunday which should make Oct 20th the day we will begin our fall weather.
Beach walks- My mid- Island beach walks are becoming more populated. I saw 3 people this morning at 6:45 along with a friendly dog, a crab and a sun glow. The sun was a brilliant orange and I still gasp when I reach the end of the walkway and reach sand and look to my left..
