Country store sign in Pomfret Ct

Only in New England would you find this sign!   Here is a country store located right on Rt 44 going through Pomfret Ct proudly displaying this sign for “Udderly Fantastic Meats.” This store is the real deal and has been there for as long as I can remember, creaky wood floors, old time display shelves and fantastic sandwiches and grinders…..you may notice the way groceries is spelled….grocries, hope it’s not short for gross groceries!

Tom and Elaine Burns Specialize in Ct Lake Property

Lakes are dotted throughout northeastern Ct and we are familiar with all of them, we have sold lake homes for many years and Woodstock Ct is one of our favorite Ct towns with some of THE most stunning homes and bucolic rolling hills to be found anywhere. The lake areas tend to have a real “New England” feel to them with pine trees and winding roads. Lake Bungee is one of my favorites as well as it’s sister lake, Witches Woods. The two lakes are right next to each other with an earthen walkway and a dam separating them. Both lakes allow power boats and water skiing along with great kayaking, swimming, fishing, etc – all the amenities of lake life are here!

Some of the homes are very expensive and others are more rustic with a cottage feel to them, pretty much what you find on most lakes throughout Connecticut.  Here you will find this  fun and funky sign – it is on one of the roads on Lake Bungee, maybe the beavers made it!  We love helping our clients find just the “right” lake property - believe me, sometimes it takes a while to find just the one they want.  We understand the process, we have owned lake homes for years and whenever a new property comes on the market we check it out because not only does each property have unique qualities, every lake has different qualities as well – it’s like going on a treasure hunt!

 

Chandra Lownes and her little girl Sohia were happy to win the “Guess How Many Skittles are in the Jar” contest! Sophia is adorable and I think a new camera may be on the horizon for her mom to take lots of pictures of her and her brother Thomas.

We held the contest at the Mansfield Ct Festival on the Green and are already planning what kind of contest to have for next year festival.

 

The UConn Marching Band played at the opening of the Festival on the Green and marched in the opening parade. The Burns Real Estate Group booth was the perfect place to take it all in!

 

Our 12 year old grandsons “toss” game was a hit too – and no matter where the toss bag landed everyone won candy!

 

Lots of people entered in the contest for a $100 Visa card and snacked on popcorn while counting the skittles!

This adorable puppy is an American Eskimo and he has recently joined his new family in Glastonbury CT.  They bought their first home last year, and now they have their first puppy!  We loved helping them buy the home that was just right for them and Glastonbury was the perfect location as they needed to commute to both UConn in Storrs CT and East Hartford  CT- with all the amenities Glastonbury has to offer, they quickly decided that was the perfect location for their first  home and Duke is obviously happy to be there too!
