My family is native to the  Eastern Shore of Maryland and  Virginia.    My husband, is a native of  the Dallas Fort Worth area, employed by  NASA,  who came to the shore with the Navy in the 50's.  He returned here as an Engineer  with LTV  Aerospace  Corporation in the 60's .  During the early years of my marriage, we had several major  moves, the first being  to  Lompoc, California in  November  1972.

       I was a young housewife with two sons  in diapers, ages  22 months and 5 months.  I was 3,000 miles away from home with no babysitter, and no family, except my husband who was working long hours launching the Scout Missile at Vandenberg Air Force Base. We flew to California on Thursday and had to have a rental home by Monday.  Hong Kong flu took over and my babies were very sick, when the moving van arrived.  

     We lived in our California rental for 5 months, then were told we would be there 5 more years.  We bought a house in March of 1973 and in September I was sitting in Grand Prairie, Texas.  My furniture was in storage, we were in an efficiency apartment, with  a house for sale in California.  We then purchased a home  in Arlington, Texas. In November of 1974, we moved back to work at  the NASA  flight facility in Wallops Island, Virginia and the  Eastern Shore of Maryland became home once again. 

         Jerry and I have a son Gregg age 34, who is a Chief in the Navy on the USS MEMPHIS Submarine, at Groton Connecticut (his pet Scottie dog is Gordon Scott Morris),   Our other son Eric age 32, who works for NavTrak,  a Grandson "Grayson" and a Grandaughter "Kaitlyn" who calls us Grandmom and Grandad (we feel we have really earned the right to these names!),  and our daughter Leah, age 22 (initially a mid life crisis who is really a blessing). She graduated from high school with the class of 2000, plays piano, cheerleads, sings and dances as well as an honor roll student has moved on to college.  She is a Business Major at GaSouthern University in Statesboro, GA and graduates in May 2005.

      I love working with people and  especially real estate.  Moving and relocating really changes the lives of our families and friends in ways we do not always recognize for many years to come. The men or women in business usually have no choice, and the family must make the move.  

      My experience in the aerospace industry, taught me to understand the tremendous stress a family feels in being uprooted.  I try very hard to orient you to the community.  For some families,  quite often the most important thing is finding the pediatricians, personal and pet grooming, extracurricular activities for the children, health food stores, fresh seafood and vegetables.....the list is endless.....there are no choices for them and for the most part the relocating employee  has none either, when they are climbing the corporate ladder.

       Families often feel put aside when the move is a must for job development.  We see a lot of  "Mars  and Venus" when we work with married customers.  I like to think I am a benefit to you and your family in understanding these transitions!

     It is not just the house that makes your home. Having everyone happy is very important!  The companies I provide a tour for know,  I will be honest and show you the pros and cons of living on the shore.  I am known as "The Resource Lady".  My clients and customers know "I give you my time" and go the extra mile, enabling you to make an informed decision.

      The Eastern Shore has a great deal to offer a growing family.  You may want to take a look at some of the family activities I enjoyed here as a child.     The beaches are wonderful to fish, crab and dig clams near the shore line.  Picking strawberries, blueberries or tomatoes in the field is a pastime still enjoyed here!  

No matter what makes your heart call home...........
