Hurricane Gustav: Can LaV Help?

Like the rest of the country, I’ve been following the progress of Hurricane Gustav with a knot of worry in my stomach.  My best friend from college and her husband – who live 30 miles east of New Orleans – evacuated today at 5:00 a.m.  What usually takes an hour and half to get ot [...]

House in NOT LaVergne. Oh Wellz.

Here’s a house I listed a couple of weeks ago located in Smyrna. Yes, I know it’s not LaV but I also wanted to test posting this video directly from Animoto.com. Besides, it is a pretty house. If you’re interested in buying, let me know!

Another Reason to Love Our Kroger

I’ve got health-care on my mind today. You see, my wife’s employer announced yesterday that they will be loosing their health insurance, and that scares me. I’ve lived without health insurance before, and inevitably, as soon as the insurance is gone, a medical emergency arises. Its Murphy’s Law #249. Now, for the average family out [...]

Brandon To Be Parade Marshal

Our friend Brandon Brewer will be the grand marshal of the Oldtimers’ Day Parade!  His Mom hopes to use the event to bring more awareness to organ donation and hopefully they’ll be able to raise some additional funds on behalf of Brandon.  When we set up a tent last year to raise money for Brandon’s medical [...]

New Police Substation Almost Here

Remember about a year ago when someone suggested that the LaVergne police department open a substation in Lake Forest Estates – get the city to buy a foreclosed home to make an office right in the neighborhood?  Well, someone did have the good common sense to consider it and look what we’re getting!!  When I talked to [...]

Twirling & Girl Scout Sign Ups

On a lighter note from what we’ve been reading here lately…
I will be deliverying flyers for baton twirling at the LaVergne and Smyrna elementary schools the rest of this week.  Baton classes are held in LaVergne on Monday evenings at the recreation building behind the city hall and police station area.  Boys and girls have [...]

What’s On Your Mind This Weekend?

We’ve had some lively discussion over on the thread about whether lots of cars in the yard make bad neighbors.  Lots of strong opinions, interesting points, valid concerns, and even name calling.  Although the emotions are running strong, I think there is definitely validity to every comment.  But the big picture still holds true: we [...]

An Open Letter to the New Kroger

Dear La Vergne Kroger,
Welcome to my neighborhood! I’m so glad to have you here. Your arrival has been a long time coming, and I must say I, for one, welcome you with open arms. I particularly enjoy your beautiful produce  corner and the wonderful organic selection. I must admit, though that I was a bit [...]

Blatant House Promotion

I just took a listing in Smyrna this week and it’s a beaut.  Go here to read more about it.  Here’s my favorite picture.
In other news, the house next door to mine and the one across the street are being auctioned this Saturday.  If you’re interested in an in-ground pool, 2000+/- square feet, 3 bedrooms, [...]
