We made our home in New Hampshire for 15 years so we know first hand, the down-home goodness of the folks who live there. Tom Arnold of Concord is clearly one of those people. He owns a local burger joint called Arnie’s Place. Just before Christmas, with 100 trees remaining on his lot, the thoughtful… Read More
Earlier this month we closed another home through the AZVHV Heroes Home Advantage Program. This particular transaction happened to be a Teacher. Paul Saggau is a Teacher for Special Needs children, U.S. Marine Veteran and a remarkably dedicated man. He squeezed in evening showings, and even made himself available for a 6:30am signing so that… Read More
The saying goes “You don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone”. LeAnne Quimby, my co-worker and my friend is gone but LeAnne didn’t fit the cliché. She inspired respect and admiration every day that she was here. I think I’ll mostly feel the absence of the way LeAnne could always, and I do mean… Read More
It’s Thanksgiving Day and I am thankful today. There are troops spending this Thanksgiving Day away from their families, not for their own benefit but for me, and for you. There are Veterans, Military Patrols, and Police Officers protecting our borders today and every day, not for their own gain but for me, and for… Read More
Our Thank You Thursday today is in honor of Dan Akee, a WWII Veteran and a member of the Navajo Code Talkers. Thank you for your service Mr. Akee. You are appreciated more than you could ever know! I recently read an article in the Navajo-Hopi Observer. At first it made me a little sad…. Read More

He’s a freshman at Spaulding High School in Rochester N.H. Teagan has muscular dystrophy and has been in a wheel chair since he was 10,… Read More
I was 11 when ‘It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown’ debuted on TV screens all over America. Most kids my age were already familiar with Charlie Brown and with Christmas specials of every kind, but this was the first special for my favorite holiday, Halloween! Back then shows were on one time, just one night,… Read More
We talk a lot on this site, about Veterans helping Veterans but today I’d like acknowledge Veterans helping children. I read a heart warming post today on the GoodNewsNetwork about a group of Marine Veterans who, in an awesome act of community service, post themselves on the roughest streets in Chicago every day to ensure… Read More
I had something else scheduled for Thank You Thursday this morning but then I watched the Pope’s address on Capitol Hill. Whether or not you are of his faith, whether or not you thought you’d care, whether or not your politics are his (and there is without a doubt, politics involved in these things), you… Read More
A recent New York Times article began with two old adages of news media: ‘If it bleeds, it leads’ and ‘No news is good news and good news is no news’. By now, I think we’re all familiar with the popularity and high ratings of bad news. In the same NYT article, John Tierney cites… Read More
