I think I may take my son to the Pee Dee Deer Classic. We are not a hunting family really, but it sounds like there are some things out there that he would have fun checking out. I know Mr. Flossip would enjoy it as well. Plus, its free for kids and it is inside. With Air Conditioning. Enough said. (I would probably go check out the wonderful world of knitting toilet seat covers if it meant I could stay inside today.)

The Noveaux Honkies! (Seriously, how awesome is that name?)

Florence After Five is tomorrow night July 30, 2010. Florence After Five welcomes home local talent Rebecca Dawkins and her band, The Nouveaux Honkies as they kick off a month long tour starting right here in Florence with two shows and extending up the coast and into the northeastern US. You should really listen to their music even if you can’t come by clicking this site. (You can also listen so you can sing along tomorrow night.) I am currently listening to “Your Twin.” I love their sound– it is a nice combination of country, blues, and rock.

This month’s concert sponsor is Pee Dee Electric Cooperative. Darlington Motor Speedway will be hosting a drawing for two tickets to the Too Tough to Tame 200 coming August 14th.

The After Party will be at Apple Annies after Florence After Five for another dose of the Nouveaux Honkies along with various craft and/or import beer giveaways and specials by Crown Beverages.

(Special thanks to Tim Norwood and Victor’s Bistro for another successful season thus far.)

(I am Flossip and I have a deep love for writing in parentheses. You can follow me on twitter for even more information. )

Dream House

by The Flossip on July 28, 2010

in Real Estate

Last week’s dream house was more traditional and in the center of town. (Same rules apply: This is my selection, I get no endorsement from any realtors (I doubt they are reading this website), and Burt Jordan is the website I use because I can search by neighborhood (Hint to other realtors, that ROCKS.)).

Before I get to the dream house… what the heck is up with this listing? Have a lovely algae infested pool with your house?! I guess that is a flipper’s dream house though.

Dream house of the week is tough because I am really dreaming about being ON the lake in Forest Lake. Not across from the lake or down the street from the lake, but ON the lake. So I really only see two options in Forest Lake proper: Option one and option two. Option 3 is across the street from the lake but is just so ME. I just worry that as I sit on my front porch and stare at the lake I would be coveting my neighbors ON the lake… which is just a bad idea. I would hate to be on some version of “Snapped” because I could no longer take it that I had to LOOK at the lake every day and not be able to be on the lake. I would have to have parties in the front yard… and well, that would not work either. It really is a great house though. I would even buy it with the furniture that is inside, since I am buying all of this with my imaginary money.

Since I need to be on the lake I will choose this one though:

I don’t love the garage on the front of the house, but in living on the water the front of the house is technically the back, right? (Note to TeamGinfrida: Please don’t pay attention to my grammar today.)(That applies to my 8th grade English teacher as well, wherever she is now.) They need to paint that turquoise room to help it sell, but that is an easy fix.

Which one of the three would you choose?

This Weeks Dream House

July 21, 2010

I love to look through the real estate listings and choose new house. It kind of drives Mr. Flossip NUTS. I can’t help it, it is in my blood. My mother used to flip houses before it was cool. I am going to start picking a dream house every week and that gives me justification [...]
