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!

 

Columbia Lake in Columbia Connecticut has had it’s share of summer rain this year. As we watch from inside the house, our grandson, Alex, takes this great pic of the raindrops dancing on the deck railing one summer night in July. 

We are leaving soon to spend a week at the ocean and have rented an oceanfront home in Jamestown RI, which is only an hour or so away from Columbia Lake.  This is the perfect getaway, if someone really needs us we can even drive back for an afternoon, but usually the laptop, iphone and blackberry keep us in touch with our clients – hopefully it will not rain all week!

 

The Burns Real Estate Group in Storrs Mansfield ,CT hosts an annual Halloween Party and since Sarah Palin is recently the center of great media attention again, I just had to post this photo. One of our favorite loan officers came to the 2008 Halloween party dressed as her favorite politician, Sarah Palin!
