Requested by Paul:

Rasberry Surprise Muffins

The truth now be told....though a favorite these were never from scratch

  • One box of a favorite everyday muffin. (Krusteaze is good)
  •  Mix as directed
  • Put 3/4 batter in muffin cup
  • Dollop with Rasberry Jam
  • Top with rest of batter

             Curb Appeal  Take advantage of the Summer weather (we are finally having) and improve your homes value with “Curb Appeal”  Get the most bang for your buck with Color. Colorful flowers and plants create a cheerful welcome. Lots of shade? Coleus loves it and comes in many brightly colored forms. Be creative with planters. A bucket of flowers in an old wagon or hanging plant put on a tree branch can create a memorable impression. Buyers see many properties in a day and you want yours to be remembered!Have you seen what they have for mulch these days?They have fake mulch rings that go around trees. There is shredded colored rubber mulch in all shades and sizes…. and it doesn’t compost or fade!Neatness CountsKeep the grass mowed and the edges trimmed…people do notice. Keep the kids toys in the back and any old cars etc. out of sight. If the driveway and walkway is stained or cracked…it may be time to have it coated. These few improvements are not only inexpensive they also improve your home’s value and you get the pleasure of the esthetics!

 Are You Facing Foreclosure?.......Beware of Mortgage Fraud. It Still Exists!

It is now emerging in the form of loan modification services or Foreclosure Bailouts. Some are competent but some are fraudulent.

Some rules to follow:

If it sounds too good to be true....it probably is

  • Be wary of unsolicited contacts and high-pressure sales techniques

  • Avoid spam and web-based ads promoting the elimination of debt....for an up front fee

  • Never give your Mortgage payment to a Third Party

  • Attempts to cajole you into making false statements....is a red flag

  • Seek out those you trust who have solved a similar problem for a referral

Do your homework!
