Our first Christmas party with the Carolina Realty Group
Make Hilton Head Your Home - BLOG By host on 12/14/2007 5:01 PM
We made the move to the Carolina Realty Group last February, so this is our first holiday season here and yesterday was our first Christmas party!  It could not have been more perfect- start to finish...
Being that is was nearly 80 degrees outside (yep, mid-December) and we were on our way to a party at the Wexford Country Club (Cha, cha, cha), we found it only fitting that we drove the convertible with the top down (aaaaahh).  Ok, I will stop rubbing it in, and get on with my blog...
I must say that the Wexford Country Club is always beautiful, but it's especially lovely this time of year!  If you ever get the chance to go there, do it.  Even if it doesn't feel like winter, the atmosphere there really set the mood for the holiday.  Including the brokers, agents, assistants and other staff, there was a total of 19 (17 women, 2 men) of us there.  As I stood there, i realized I couldn't imagine wor ...

A Really Funny Way To Get You To VOTE!

Voting is hard and makes you very muddy
By PETER FROST - Island Packet
Voting is stupid.
It’s too much work. It’s too much work to wait in line, which you can only do after you find which line you’re supposed to be standing in (where exactly is this mysterious and so-called “Precinct 3A” anyway?) Last time I tried to vote, I got stuck on some muddy road in a downpour. Can’t this crazy “government” please pay $5 to put up a sign or ...

Member of the bar? In court, tipsy defendant tells all, gets night in jail

 

 An island man showed up to the Town of Hilton Head Island Municipal Court ready to plead his case in slurred, excited speech, with beer on his breath, authorities said.

The 22-year-old man spoke loudly when he entered the courtroom, which at 2 p.m. Wednesday was filled with people settling traffic violations with deputies. The judge had called in sick, so no formal proceedings were taking place.

"It was obvious something was wrong with him," said Capt. Toby McSwain of the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office. "He appeared to be grossly intoxicated, so they locked him up."

When a deputy checked on him a couple hours later, the man said he had drive ...

FREE SEA TURTLE TOUR.....
Make Hilton Head Your Home - BLOG By host on 6/11/2007 1:03 PM

I have a certificate for a Sea Turtle Tour for up to 10 people. If anyone of you would like to have it, I'd be happy to part with it.

The tours are put on by the Coastal Discovery Museum. They are held all summer on Tuesdays and Thursdays. No children under 4 years are allowed. It starts at 8 pm. It is an evening lecture and beach walk to educate participants about the endangered loggerhead turtle. You will examine the nesting habitats and nests. This tour is usually $20 for adults and $15 for children.

(Not) Just Another Day At The Office...
Make Hilton Head Your Home - BLOG By host on 5/16/2007 11:47 AM

 

Greetings to our clients, friends and those of you that are new to our site!

This is my first blog entry on our new site.  I wanted to share with you my morning ...that I so appropriately titled, "(Not) Just Another Day At The Office".  I think I should begin by saying that being an assistant to Shirley Bentrup is always an adventure!  It is so rewarding to have a job that offers something different and new opportunities/experiences every day! 

This morning,  as I entered the office, I was greeting by Shirley saying "Ooooh, I need you to babysit again."  I could not have been happier (ok, could have used my morning coffee first). 

Shirley has some wonderful clients in town right now from the Chicago area and they wanted to take a look at a few properties.  They have three BEAUTIFUL children that I had t ...

No Mosquitos...for now
Make Hilton Head Your Home - BLOG By host on 5/4/2007 3:16 PM

It's been refreshingly pleasant the past few weeks on the back decks and patios of Beaufort County.

 The weather has been nice, there's been little rain, and perhaps most important, very few mosquitoes have been buzzing around. Enjoy it.

 'Things are pretty quiet right now,' said Gregg Hunt, the county's mosquito control director. 'Give us another month, and it's going to be crazy.'

 The area's lack of rain and moderate temperatures have kept mosquito populations low during the first part of spring, giving Mosquito Control time to catch up on maintaining equipment and filling two vacant positions.

 Hunt and his crew have not yet started aerial spraying missions, but several gated communities began spraying during the last two weeks.
