Wallenpaupack Eagles Ice Fishing!

While driving down Rt. 507 from Greentown toward Hawley, I spotted this lovely pair of bald eagles poking around a hole in the thin ice, looking for lunch.   I pulled off the road and tried to sneak down close enough to get a good shot with the zoom, but they spotted me the moment [...]

Real People…Real Estate Is Also About People With Real Stories

I was prepared for a lot of things when I became a real estate agent. My years of working in a retail environment  taught me that people can suck the life out of you…so hard-to-please clients was not a surprise.  Having been turned down for a mortgage once, I wasn’t surprised when a buyer or [...]

Dreaming of a GREEN Poconos Christmas!

Merry Christmas from Lake Wallenpaupack!  Many of us have already put our trees up – probably one of the most beloved rituals of the season. O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, Your branches green delight us! They are green when summer days are bright, They are green when winter snow is white. O Christmas Tree, [...]

VIDEO: Wallenpaupack And the Hallelujah Chorus

The Wallenpaupack Area High School has an excellent fine arts program; always has.  When I was in the WAHS Chorus, I thoroughly enjoyed singing The Hallelujah Chorus every year as our Winter Concert finale.  It was a fun song to learn and to sing…I am happy that the school continues with that tradition.  Mrs. Neenan, [...]
