music, thoughts, books, dreams, more
Just my world of dreams, music and thoughts. Author of two books, one a novel of Love stories set in Framingham, Mass, Secrets of the Heart the 2nd book an autobiography of growing up in Framingham, Mass. Small Town America, Framingham My generation was the first teenage generation, that was when the word was coined. Ours was the generation that started cruising through town and to the drive in theater and drive in restaurant. In our area, Ernie Kampersal,from Holliston, drove his bucking car through town, picking up girls. It rose in the air, like a stallion! We went to the soda shops and played the juke boxes. It was a different town, a different time, and it belonged to us!

CREATE THE FUTURE WITH FAFARD REAL ESTATE,
COME SEE OUR HOMES UNDER CONSTRUCTION,
CHECK THE PRICES, MORTGAGE RATES, AND EVALUATE YOUR FUTURE!
Here are some things to consider. Young new buyers, especially
MEET THE SUBURBS...LEARN THE ROADS, LEARN THE VALUE OF MOVING WEST, AS THE PILGRIMS DID! THE BURBS ARE GROWING, AND YOU WILL BE MAKING THEM WHAT THEY WILL BE! Join us in creating the future, come see the new construction on Silver Lake Road,Bellingham our Gloria Jean is fantastic, as is our Garden Party, all new homes coming soon! Come see our Garden Party under construction in Uxbridge, the Super Coach in Ashland, the Galleria in Hopkinton, the Sovereign in Marlboro, and two fabulous homes going up in Natick in our million dollar neighborhood, near the hospital. Don't lose the most fabulous opportunity to buy right in a generation!
The dollar has devalued about 30% , how can your recoup that loss? The bank interest will not do it, and gold is too high, but maybe dropping in value now too! Why not buy something you can use?
Paying rent? Will you ever recover the expenditure, and will your dollars bring back the investment you make in rent? Doubt it!
$200,000 for new home in Uxbridge , Mass. 20 mintues to (T) and Rt 140 Franklin, 1/2 way between major routes, 395 and 495....located just off major route 146...and only 30 minutes to Framingham.
Cut through Upton over to 495 Hopkinton, EMC, and Mass Pike connection...lots of secret roads...
Save thousands, maybe more than you will spend on gas, over 5 years?. Did you know that most people sell their homes in the first 5 years, and move up? We have sold 3-4 homes to repeat people over the past years, they started in Ashland with a condo 40 years ago for $39,990, for example and moved to one of our new houses for $59,990 and then to another new house for $79,900 etc., increasing their investment while selling their previous home for more money! Homes puchased in the $50,000 price range are now in the high $300.000 price range. Traditionally, real estate increases in value, through the years, as the population expands, and grows into the suburbs. iNVESTING IN SOMETHING YOU CAN LIVE IN, is worth considering!
INTEREST RATES, COULD BE STARTING TO GO UP IN THE NEXT MONTH!
Imagine, buying your home home for $200,000! It might work out less than rent, depending on your downpayment. Mortgages rates are still under 5%, what a deal, and you may only have a month before interest rates start up again. Once housing activity shows health, the mortgage rates will rise, they have to!
Sell for less and still make money? Talk to Howard or Tim 508-881-6662
I have known some very clever folks, who sold their house for less than they wanted in this market, so they could get a great deal on a new house. Yes, they took less than they wanted, but they still made money and invested in the future, by getting a new house. Look at your home and see if you are willing to take a risk, sell for less, and get your dream home now, while rates are low and new home prices are still low enough.
Buy new, avoid the big replacement bills of aging homes, and neighborhoods!
Retired? Want to share expenses with the children yet, keep your privacy, talk to Tim at 508-881-6662, Sunday thru Thursday

Alex Britti, Joe Cocker & Pavarotti
I do not know where to get this, if anyone knows....advise me. For all Joe Cocker fans, he travels in some pretty high company!
Teach me Tonight
Collectors, this is probably the best version of Teach me Tonight... and she is going to be hard to find....Make Love to Me was another great hit.
Enya - (2000) A Day Without Rain - 04 Tempus Vernum
Music of now....Enya, Tempus Vernum...
great listening!
great listening!
Dinah Washington Teach Me Tonight
Collectors be sure you don't miss this one Dinah Washington, before it is too late!
"My Foolish Heart" singer Billy Eckstine
another collector album that might be hard to get, so try and find the songs by Billy that defined the 50's...on an album as soon as you can.
Billy Eckstine - I Apologise
Another collector album....This album is getting harder and harder to get, Amazon says they do not have the song....maybe you will have to go looking on the net. It is dynamite singing by a crooner that does not get enough attention. He was really fabulous for us!
Buddy Holly - True Love Ways
Introducing you to Buddy Holly he had a monster hit with this song... you at least need an album of Buddy Holly if you are building a collection of the best songs ever...Buddy Holly Songs: Buddy Holly Discography, Not Fade Away, Peggy Sue, That'll Be the Day, True Love Ways, Bo Diddley, Brown Eyed Handsome Man
You have to have Peggy Sue! There is a diner off Route 10 in one of the desert states, named Peggy Sue's diner, all 50's style , posters, and food....a fun place to stop if you drive across country....Rent a Motor home if you are going to do it, bring your own bathroom, be smart!

The Forgotton Garden by Kate Morton
Here is a book I could not put down. I reached a point where I could no longer read my factual novels. Burnout! So went looking for something thick to travel with. Oops! The suspense is so good, that I read aprx two thirds of the novel last night , to page 389
I wanted to go to sleep but pushed on....there were some blahs, where I did some speed reading, you know checking the first sentence, glancing the paragraph, (they could have been omitted) but the desire to continue was there! I am going to finish the book today, I know that! I have two others to start on for the week, just relax novels, fun and no pondering why this or that.
The Forgotten Garden, is story that will glue you to the book, it changes scenes, and has space, from England to Australia and back. It has morals to think about, and it focuses on different characters in different time periods, so it meets all the requirements of a good novel, while you wonder about the mystery in the book. Who is Nan, where did she come from? She was found on the dock in Austrailia at 4 years old.
She did not know she was a foundling , but when she discovered that she fell apart and so begins the quest to solve the mystery! It is a clever plot, well thought out....a beach read!

Looking for Ancestors/
Ancestry.com is a great place to start...on line and then you can delve deeper with databases if you need to...
We found our great grandparents who immigrated to the United States in 1900, with their children and children's spouses, if married. We found all the birth dates of aunts and uncles. It is a fun project, because you can see how hard they worked to earn passage money. All of the maternal family came as laborers and most likely all were stone masons, they settled in New Haven ,Connecticut,

Towns are going crazy!
Real Estate is in bad shape.....but the towns are not able to figure it out...!!! Instead of encouraging new construction to keep people employed, and bring in taxes, they are increasing the fees to builders, some of them are outrageous, and will be challenged, costing the towns more money to defend themselves in court.
The cost of building roads, is going up big time....try 30% or more...
The cost of all goods and supplies will sky rocket if oil continues to be on an upward climb.
Work in Framingham, Natick , Metrowest area.....do yourself a favor....
LEARN ABOUT THE SUBURB LOCATIONS, SAVE MONEY AND MAYBE LIVE FOR LESS THAN RENT!
The best buys on the market, are inexpensive new construction, which we are building in three towns.
$200,000 and up Uxbridge, Mass, 30 minutes to Framingham
Hi $200's up Bellingham, (love the Garden Party!, 2 bedrooms , 1 bath ,2 car garage) 5 + min to 495/and T, 25min Fram
Mid $300's up Marlboro, near mall, skating rink, just off 495, close to high school
Our plans are always new, fresh, and exiting. Come see the new Galleria, with first floor laundry coming soon to Milford. Coming soon to Hopkinton also, or a coach with first floor laundry! Call our office

The Winner Stands Alone
Finally finished! Paulo Coelho characters are hard to leave. In this book the character that moves the book is evil, and not likeable for any reason. I was tempted to abandon the book, because I do not like to read about evil. However, I stayed with it, because Coelho has much to say about the social condition, and I like his comments peppered through the narrative about our universal concerns. If you like Paulo Coehlo, it is worth reading. The underside of life at the Cannes film festival, is probably worth knowing, because we all see if for glitz and glamour, when it is really a place where everyone goes to be seen, be used, and to be promoted, or to promote products, films, directors and actors. It is a world that is far too unattainable for the ordinary, and a lesson for young girls dreaming of stardom. The span of opportunity according to Coehlo, is very short, so girls especially have to sacrifice and take chances, while disappointment , is around every corner. It is but a segment of life in the real world, that is based on beauty, unreality, and rariefied air.

Sam Cooke You Send Me
How can any of us who lived this song, forget it...what a major hit! For my high school friends, Lorraine Levandosky and Barbara Volpicelli
