Virtual Real Estate Solutions : October 2007

Come dressed as Main Street in Crossville, Tennsessee closes and the town fills with every size and every age. This is a SAFE alternative to door to door trick-or-treating. There will games for the kids, store front owners will be handing out candy, the Palace Theatre has special contest's and entertainment. Food Booths and LOTS of treats for the children. For dogs too ! This is a great hometown event providing safety and fun for our youth ! Even our 4-legged friends

With only a day left until Halloween, the first treat you can gobble up is a short list of simple safety tips.  Halloween's a time for tricks, treats and fun, but accidents are a looming threat.  Tripping injuries and other accidental falls are common. And worse, children are four times more likely to die as pedestrians on Halloween than on any other night of the year.  To be safe, walk, slither, and sneak on sidewalks, not in the street.  Look both ways before crossing the street to check for cars, trucks, and low-flying brooms.  Cross the street only at corners, take a flashlight and make sure your costume either glows in the dark or has some type of reflective tape.  Parents should accompany younger children and make sure costumes don't impair your little one's vision or movement.

Fall is a beautiful time of year here in Tennessee, especially in Crossville. Sitting higher on the mountain in the Cumberland Plateau captures the tree beauty and grace of the ever changing color leaves. With swift breezes you can surely capture the elegance of nature in all it's glory. Below are some tips you can use when snapping your pictures this fall here in Crossville, Tennessee.

• Shoot early and late in the day. Try to shoot a half-hour before and after sunrise or sunset. The colors will be incomparably richer, the shadows deeper, textures and forms stronger.
• Shoot during or right after storms. The light is more dramatic, and wet leaves, structures and even roads take on more vibrant, intense tones.
• Check for colors, shapes and light each time you shoot. A red leaf may be eye-catching, but it might look prettier when lit from a side that shows more texture, or, like a stained glass window, when lit from behind.
• Shoot close-up details. A whole barn might seem boring, but its old weathered door or a cobwebbed window reflecting a tree might be a compelling image.

The hills of Tennessee truly come alive in the fall. The spectacular views and brillance of colors display why so many here call the Cumberland Plateau the greatest place to be.

No matter where you go you can listen to the rustling of the leaves, you can gaze at the various colors illuminating from the brillance of the sun. Crossville, Tennessee is beautiful and amazing in its peace and tranquility. Come and see for yourself !

bluegrass is a style of country music from the southern United States, usually played on fiddle, banjo, guitar, or mandolin and featuring close harmony and instrumental solos

Come join us and have the time of your life !

The Banjo was originally an instrument of African origins, the banjo was taken up in the late 1800s by Anglo-American musicians who popularized the instrument in traveling minstrel shows and in ragtime music. Its association with bluegrass came with the stylistic innovation of Earl Scruggs in the mid-1940s, when he joined founding father Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys. Scruggs's arpeggiated, three-finger picking style is now commonplace among banjo players, and his breakneck playing in Monroe's band led to the inclusion of the banjo, along with mandolin and guitar, as the primary instruments of the bluegrass sound.

Event Day Forecast for Oct. 16

Scattered T-Storms Daytime High:76°F Overnight Low:58°F Probability of Precipitation: 40% Wind: From the South at 10 mph

in case of rain the concert will be held at the Sparta Civic Center 514 East Bockman Way May

I would like to congratulate my clients Bernard ( Bernie ), Micheal and Carol Leitner on the purchase of their new property on Old Ridge Road in Sparta, Tennessee.

Also, a special thank you to Tammy Thacker, listing agent of Third Tennessee for helping to make this a smooth transaction for my buyers !

Good Morning ! I hope everyone is equipped with a heating blanket this am, maybe a fireplace and some hot chocolate ! Here at my house we have decided to "save the penguins" ! Beings that we have some extremely nice weather and we didn't think fall would ever come, I forgot to watch the weather forecast and left all the windows open ! So needless to say when we woke this morning, and it was only 38 degrees, my children's lips were blue, we all had icicles hanging from our noses and penguins are walking around my living room !

I just wonder exactly what happened to fall, how we never thought summer would end and now it seems as though we are straight into winter. Currently, I have 3 children cuddled up in front of the fireplace and I am so not ready to turn the heat on, I just turned the AC off ! It appears it may snow in my house at any minute and this is just reminding me that the Holidays are right around the corner. I feel like I just got done taking down the Christmas Decorations !

 I hope everyone else watched the news, closed their windows, maybe even set the heat. As for me, I am going to go sit in front of the fireplace and hopefully thaw out ! Have a great day Crossville !
