I am sitting in sunny Tallahassee, Florida because I can’t get back to Massachusetts due to the hurricane this weekend.
I came to Florida to speak at the Florida REALTORS State Conference and enjoy the Real Estate BarCamp Orlando event. It was an amazing week of sharing social media tips, teaching Twitter and video blogging, visiting with great friends and enjoying some warm sunshine.
When leaving Massachusetts, I had been concerned that I may be flying into Irene…oddly enough there was no effect from the hurricane in Orlando, whatsoever. Going home, however, was another issue. We are unable to get out of Florida before Wednesday due to all of the backlog on delayed flights. Our friend Debbie Kirkland brought us up to her house in Tallahassee where we are hanging out for a few days.
Besides the fact that I really miss my kids, it isn’t such a bad problem to have. I have been watching Twitter and Facebook and am amazed at the pictures and videos I see posted! Westfield looks to be dealing with a lot of flooding and I hope my friends and clients are all doing well.
I had a wonderful time speaking and teaching social media this week, but I am looking forward to getting back to Park Square Realty where I can use my expertise to help people who are buying a home or selling a home in Western MA.
Downtown Westfield, MA has a few new businesses working on opening up on Elm Street, which is a terrific sight to see. Last week I took the time to shop at Ezra’s Mercantile on Elm Street in Westfield, MA and was excited to find that it is a completely adorable shop.
Their slogan is: “A new place to shop for, Pizazz, Provisions and Presents”
The store is decorated in a classic vintage theme with items that reflect a vintage or homespun feel. They have some Westfield T-shirts with an image of the new clock tower and wooden signs and other decor that is Westfield themed. There is a cute toy section, jewelry, home goods and beauty items.
I, for one, will be stopping in often as the store is only two doors from
my desk at Park Square Realty on Elm Street in Westfield, MA.
Here are a few more pictures that I took:

Today was freaky. No other way to describe it.
My daughters and I got home from our afternoon errands to discover our neighborhood had a funnel/twister touch down. Thankfully only trees were damaged in our complex. Our neighbors one street over lost their playscapes and a tree was lifted up and landed on the roof.
I posted some pictures to Twitter and a few moments later I had a call from ABC News asking if they could use my pictures. As of tonight they are on a slideshow on their website. I was told they may appear on other programs like Good Morning America.
As neat as that is, I have sat home transfixed with the local news updates and my heart is breaking for Western Massachusetts. So many people have lost their homes and several their lives.
I am so grateful that my family and friends are safe. I feel strongly for my community and pray for everyone affected by the tornadoes in Western Massachusetts tonight.
This is the 2011 presentation. If you would like to see the Highland Elementary School’s 2012 Memorial Day presentation please click HERE.
Highland Elementary School in Westfield, MA held their Memorial Day program today.
It was a wonderful expression of gratitude and pride by the children. Their songs, poems, choreographed march, artwork and patriotic attire made for a terrific morning!
As a mother of two students at the school and a real estate agent who works in the Westfield community, I was proud to see our children honoring this important day with such enthusiasm.
