Christmas Time 2008

"It's Begining To Look A Lot Like Christmas" Oh the smells of cinnamon sticks and pumpkin pies are filling the air and Christmas Time 2008 will soon be here. Today, Black Friday, Renee and I went to Fair Oaks Mall to participate in the shopping hoopla that plagues this great nation at this time every year. Soon, our living room will be transformed into a Magical Mickey Christmas!! Stay tuned for transformation photos....

Potomac Club Tot Lot

Wow! We are finally getting a Tot Lot at Potomac Club. I walked to the clubhouse today and was pleasantly surprised to see it was nearly complete. The security gates are finally working too (during specified times). They are making progress...slowly...but at least progress is being made!

New Reading Material

I've updated the "Digital Downloads" section with a look at 100 Year of FBI History as well as some new recipes in my cookbook. I also posted my 2007 Christmas Dinner cookbook. And, if you have a few minutes to spare, you should download my Nero Image file of Christmas 2008 that includes 19 songs and a copy of my updated cookbook. Just burn the image to a CD and you're good to go!

Behind The Scenes in Prince William County

Well...we must be in Foreclosure Central! Prince William County is in the National News!!

Furnished Patio

Well, with Summer half over, Target and other major stores are putting all their lawn/garden furniture on sale. So, we got a nice huge umbrella and a new storage bench with a cushion and even an outdoor pillow! I'm really excited as we have just "expanded" our living space! Ha! That's what they say on HGTV...if you got the space, you might as well make the most of it! Doesn't it make you want to sit down with a glass of ice-cold lemonade or a glass of La Belle Vie wine?

New Pr. William Arrivals Bitter

Several of us in Potomac Club were interviewed by the Washington Post for an article regarding Potomac Club and how it's not all that it's advertised to be. Here's a link to the article: New Prince William Arrivals Bitter

Potomac Club Inglewood Updates

A reliable source reported the following informatoin:

I believe there are only 18 Inglewoods left now! Ryan Homes may be buying more lots in a future section but I believe the builder is still in negotiations with the developer, however, I do not know if they are planning Inglewoods or more condos or a different floorplan entirely. Ryan Homes did take their base up on the Inglewood and are not paying HOA fees and only 6K towards closing and our sales have been steady. In April we had 11 sales which was fantastic...mostly Inglewoods and in May only three sales but two were Inglewoods. We have one sale so far this month and it was an Inglewood.

We are so excited for Wegmans too! We are hoping that is really going to increase our traffic and thus sales. Also, there is a new website you can check out if you haven't already that has info on the new town center. It will be open spring 2010. Check it out at http://www.roadsidedevelopment.com/portfolio.php?id=1

This is the new developer for the town center. It looks amazing...500,000 square feet of office space a 40,000 square foot full service health club and spa and over 55 lifestyle retail stores and boutiques plus full service restaurants are listed. It also has some great info on the demographics of Prince William County and how much the income and population levels have changed.

New Guest Room / Play Room ?

Well, Renee finally convinced me to add a second guest room to our house. This is going to be more like a guest/fun room (only she doesn't know it yet). We purchased a "daybed" from Ikea (still has to be put together) with some WILD colors. I plan to put a flat panel HDTV in the room and a Wii Fit exercise mat! :) The DayBed converts to a KING SIZE bed! Now isn't that swanky! You're welcome to come and stay a few daus (but don't get too comfy...a few days and you'll be getting the boot! -- j/k)

07/14/08 -- I just snapped a quick picture. Obviously there is still a lot to do in this room but at least we have a bed! ;)

Potomac Club Phase II

Did you know that there is going to be a Potomac Club Phase II? Well, neither did most of the residents at Potomac Club. Kettler failed to advise the residents until we had forked over a HUGE amount of money! Fairfield Residential is the developer. They will be building "garden style" apartment homes.

Are You New to Northern Virginia?

Request your free First Aide Kit from Potomac Hospital. https://www.potomachospital.com//requestform.asp

Potomac Hospital is litterally right across the street from Potomac Club. It's nice to know there is a hospital near by...I just hope I never have to go! ;)

Not sure how long the First Aide Kits will last so order while they last! They will only send them to residents of Northern Virginia!
