What perfect timing for the opening of this delightful new shop on our main street. After a long and unusually cold , winter this store puts you in mind of a a grassy knoll in the sunshine with a great lunch on your lap.

Soft pastel colors create a sunny decor, and you are surrounded with yumminess from the front door to the upstairs loft. Featuring gourmet foods, chocolates, pastries, wine and gifts, you can find something for any occasion. There is a wonderful paisley covered bench in front of the store with a pan of water for you canine friends.

The owner Tim Nebel has been a resident of Port Townsend for 6 years, and is really upbeat and enthusiastic about his new store. I wish him all the best as a very welcome addition to our Historic Downtown Main Street.

Hadlock Veterinary and Olympic Animal Eye Clinic

Sandra White (John L Scott Real Estate) — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 16:34:01 -0800

We are so lucky here in our little corner of the Olympic Peninsula to have this wonderful Veterinary Clinic, started by two amazing women, Drs. Joyce Murphy, and Virginia Johnson. After about 10 years in an older building which lacked adequate space, ambience and parking, they have moved to a wonderful building which they remodeled with months of hard work.

They recently celebrated with an open house, attended by hundreds of grateful and happy customers.

Dr. Johnson treats pets with love and care and is very good at diagnosing illness. I so appreciate her follow up phone calls, or prompt response to my calls. She also shows concern for my pocket book by offering more than one solution whenever possible

Dr. Murphy is a veterinarian ophthalmologist, who constantly save animals eyesight, including my own little Lulu's.

She shows all the same compassion, love and follow up care.

Port Townsend Film Festival 2011

Sandra White (John L Scott Real Estate) — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 18:47:29 -0700

12th Annual! The town is packed and enjoying wonderful summer weather at last. The center of the action is the Rose Theater, our beloved and beautiful 1930's theater. Located on a side street in the historic downtown area, it is a joy to visit anytime, with two small theaters, and the world's best popcorn.

Last night was the free open air showing of 1944's National Velvet, with a very young Elizabeth Taylor. What fun to sit on haybales, under the stars and enjoy a vintage movie. Tonight's free movie will be Back to the Future, and on Sunday evening the free movie will be one of my favorites, Moonstruck starring Cher.

You can buy a pass or individual tickets for around $10.

There will be 6 dozen short, feature and documentary films to choose from, in six different venues. There are many film makers available at screenings for discussion afterward, a free shuttle bus to take you to the theater of your choice, and a wonderful outdoor beergarden with light sandwich and pizza fare.

20 Mistakes Agents Make Most Often<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

My head is full of so much information after attending the seminar with that title yesterday given by Ric De Lucca! After 31 years of seminars, CE and workshops, I think this is one of the best I have ever been to. Maybe it is just a time when I need it the most. I highly recommend getting to see him if he comes anywhere near your office. Not only a lot of good suggestions, easy to follow, but he has ongoing coaching, of course a cd program with forms, letters, postcards and some new tricks for old dogs. Very entertaining too!

If nothing else, go to his website and check out his services, including ongoing advice for under $20 per month.
