REO-what does that mean to you?

REO's Real Estate Owned Property...That's a bit boring, don't you think? In Beverly's world, REO references bank owned properties that weren't successful selling on the court house steps.

REO Speedwagon...now that's a lot more fun. Beverly and I went to this neighborhood get together and ran into, of all people, a backup drummer for REO Speedwagon!!

You couldn't be expected to know this, but besides Journey and Foreigner, REO Speedwagon is Beverly's all time favorite band. I know, I know, most Gen X'ers have no idea who I'm talking about. Find out how REO Speedwagon got their name....

Now that I think about it...why do I know these people as young as I am? Oh....because Beverly makes me listen to them.

Anyway, let's just say, Beverly was thrilled to run into a REO Speedwagon backup band member. And, in Suwanee, GA! You just never know who you will run into in Suwanee. Maybe, REO Speedwagon will play at the Suwanee Town Center Amphitheater.

Heard it from a friend...who heard it from a friend...who heard it from a friend...

Suwanee Town Center is sooo Earthy

Whoaaaa!! There sure is a lot happening at Suwanee Town Center...restaurants, shops, real estate, new construction, kids playing in the fountain, insurance, dentists, City Hall, coffee shops, etc.



But it's the landscapers that got the attention today. Let's just say the fertilizer was breath-taking. In the words of Lynyrd Skynyrd...OOOO that Smell....can't you smell that smell. Yes, we can!!! And, we did. All of Town Center Park was "treated" today. I think we'll remember this for days to come....

D Day

As we really enjoyed our beautiful, mild Spring day in Suwanee, we were compelled to call our favorite WWII veteran in Suwanee. As a matter of fact, it's the ONLY WWII Veteran we know in Suwanee, Mr Harold Humphries. Not only that, he's the ONLY WWII Veteran we know personally, anywhere. He's a special, fine man that Beverly has respected for many years, long before she realized he was a WWII Veteran.

We asked him what he was doing on D Day in 1944. We were excited to learn that he was safely back in the U.S., for about 30 days, while the USS Hornet, which he was stationed, was being cleaned and repaired, before she was sent back to her honorable duty. Thank you, Mr. Humphries, for your service. And, thank you for sharing your stories with us. It's truly an honor to know you.
