Providence Metropark, Grand Rapids, Ohio

Week-end Voyage,

Bob and I went on a week-end trip to Grand Rapids, Ohio. We had a great time on the nature walk and almost made it to the Old mill! Along the way we visited the dam and met three very nice boys who were bow fishing. Yes I said fishing with a bow and arrow! It was very different and exciting to watch. There were many people there enjoying the beautiful weather and having picnics for  Memorial day. The boys we met were Nate and Justin Johnson and Adam Brents. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Which season do you like best at The Defiance Public Library???

          Which season do you like to roam around the grounds of The Defiance Public Library? Haven't been there lately? I must admit, I was there more often when my laptop was not such a big part of my life!!! Tons of information and resources is why I used to go the The Defiance Public Library now... not so much,  although I do love walking around and soaking up the views on a sunny day!

The winter white was a very pretty site but I think I would have to say Spring and Summer would be my favorites!! When I took a stroll the other morning I shot some photos of the high river and the Defiance Public Library  grounds... I have to say I was disappointed in people when I saw trash laying around, PLEASE take a minute to pick up your owns pop cans and dirty diapers!!!! Keep the Fort Grounds clean for all to enjoy!

The Maumee and Auglaize rivers were plenty full with a fast moving current!

When I was growing up in Defiance my Dad and my 2 big sisters taught me how to water ski in these rivers, great memories growing up across the street from Kingsberry Park!

If you are having a ruff day or just want to enjoy your morning coffee I recommend you take a walk around the grounds of The Defiance Public Library, relaxing, pretty and full of history. It has a calming effect on me... one that I'm not quit sure I can describe! Karol

"We choose to give"

Why?

Being a relatively new company in the Northwest Ohio real estate market, I'm often asked the question of why I opened a new company, especially in these tougher economic times.  I'm asked it by both real estate professionals, as well as, from contacts we make on a regular basis.

I've answered that question in many different forms, but I think that I can simplify it by stating,

"because I wanted to make a difference." 

We've all been granted a limited time to spend on this planet before our creator takes us home and I wanted to make sure that I was doing all I could to leave this plant, the people I meet, those who I work for and those who I work with in a much better position than when I first found them. 

I truly believe it's my responsibility to make the world a better place.  I may not be able to change the whole world with my efforts and this company, but I know that I can change the world for one person who may need a hand.  I know that when we are able to donate some money to a local charity that one person's world may change that day.  It could change simply because that day was made better.  I know that when I treat a client with respect, honesty and integrity that their world is changed as they are making world changing decisions in their lives.  I know when I treat those of whom I work with with love, integrity and respect that they are able to become more than they would have had I not given them the support they needed.

I think we've all been called to make the world a better place. Realty Five of Defiance is one way that I've chosen to try and make that a reality for others.  Whether you choose to use our company or not as your real estate company of choice, it is my sincere hope that you will join me in doing what you can to make a difference in the lives of others.

Thanks and Let's Make a Difference Together!
