It’s My Imagination

Florida Real Estate

I haven’t been to Florida in almost 30 years, but my memories are enough to make me want to return. I can certainly understand why people choose to retire there. The weather is beautiful and the views are gorgeous. There is a lot to do in Florida too, whether it’s amusement parks, golf or heading to the beach. I do believe they have something for everyone.

My niece is currently living in Florida, stationed there with the U.S. Coast Guard. I’m hoping that before she leaves there we’ll have the opportunity to visit. She is currently renting, but, if she were to stay there permanently, I’m sure she would be looking for a villa for sale in the area. Bardell Real Estate, a specialist in new and resale villas, vacation homes, retirement homes and residential property near Orlando, would certainly be a great help.

Who knows, maybe someday, we’ll buy a retirement home in Florida.

Mrs. Fields to File Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

August 18, 2008 on 6:40 pm | In Finance | 2 Comments

Another company is biting the dust. Well, at least it’s taking that first fateful  step. According to Fox Business News, Cookie maker Mrs. Fields is planning to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Besides owning all the cookie stands inside of malls, Mrs. Fields also owns TCBY yogurt. Personally, I believe TCBY may have been the beginning of their downfall.  TCBY is one of those companies that could be good, but the ones I’ve been inside of in recent years are dirty and have poor customer service.

Mrs. Fields is currently $200 million in debt and losing money at a rather rapid pace. While filing Chapter 11 does not necessarily mean that Mrs. Fields will be going out of business, it doesn’t look too good. The company has remained privately owned since its inception in the 1970’s.

Beautiful, Creative Birth Announcements

August 18, 2008 on 12:52 pm | In Family, Some of This Some of That | No Comments

I wish I had been connected with the internet 12 years ago when my daughter was born. Although I sent out cute little hand written announcements to let everyone know about her arrival, now there are some great online companies to get beautiful and creative Baby Birth Announcements.

Of course, we’re not limited to only birth announcements, custom wedding announcements and personalized holiday cards are also available. I’ve done some photo holiday cards in the past, but I love the creativeness of these.
