This has been a very busy month for real estate here in Massachusetts!  I've been running around like crazy with showings, listing presentations and educational events.  One of my major goals for 2010 is to attend more educational classes and seminars and I've started the year off right!  Another goal of mine was to get more involved in the REALTOR community and I'm proud to announce that I've joined four committees and two subcommittees at the Worcester Regional Association of Realtors. 

I've been missing my friends here at Active Rain a lot!  It's so hard to balance your time in this profession.  I haven't forgotten you!  :)  I've actually been trying to bring awareness to my community here about blogging and trying to help others get started. 

I have been attending the BOLD training that is offered through Keller Williams.  Not sure if I am liking it just yet, we're only two weeks into it.  We have a heavy load of homework for it and it's hard to balance that into my already busy schedule.  I feel like I haven't seen my kids all week and as you all know, I haven't blogged in at least that amount of time! 

Good news is, we've been signing a lot of contracts lately.  Homes seem to be moving fairly quickly and that's a great sign. 

How are things out there in your neck of the woods?

Vienna Restaurant & Historic Inn - Dining in Southbridge MA is a classy restaurant featuring classic Austrian, European & Continental cuisine in a very romantic setting.  Owners Lisa and Jonathan Krach are very friendly, outgoing and charming people that I had the pleasure of meeting at some Chamber of Commerce events. 

The menu at the Vienna Restaurant & Historic Inn features Hungarian Goulash, Schnitzel Cordon Bleu, Beer Battered Shrimp and much more!  Luxurious accommodations are available for very reasonable rates.  The accommodations include an in suite private bath, living room, queen size bed, European down comforters, toiletries, mineral water and organic lemon verbena hand/face soap.  You will also receive a cocktail or beverage of your choice upon arrival, a full gourmet breakfast and Chef inspired hor d'oeuvresof the day between 4-6PM.   The food is absolutely delicious, the atmosphere is enchanting and the owners are delightful.  I strongly recommend Vienna Restaurant & Historic Inn if you are looking for a getaway or a romantic dinner in the Southbridge/Sturbridge area.
