Halloween yard decorations and tree faces would be a ghoulish addition to your Halloween plans this year. Tombstones, ghosts and grim reapers are the reason for the season and if you are one of those that plots and plans year-round to figure out the best way to scare the wits out of unsuspecting trick-or-treaters, then this post is for you.

We came across yet another new senior community the other day. They seem to be popping up like mushrooms everywhere around here lately. If you're looking for a sound investment, I would suggest investing in senior living communities. Baby boomers are beginning to come into retirement (news flash...duh!), living longer and many want to down-size their living quarters for many sound reasons.

Have you ever seen tree faces before? I'm sure most people have seen those humorous looking clay (or some other material) faces nailed to trees. They've caught on and you can find them in just about any gardening shop, as well as many other types of department stores and, of course, on-line.

It has been one of the most, if not THE most, interesting home builds that I've ever had the pleasure to witness.

Welcome to my pre-tour of a Charleston Row House-style home located in historic downtown Aiken, SC. This is a home that is sure to be a great investment with it being located in vibrant, pedestrian-friendly downtown Aiken on Park Avenue. Rising real estate values in the area are another reason it would be a great investment, not to mention the luxurious features of the home itself.
