Website Changes

Hello Readers,

I am going to make some changes to this website so stay tuned to see what fun I come up with. I am no longer in the real estate field, so I am changing the purpose of the site altogether. I plan to write about my own experiences relating to anything and everything. If you have something interesting to say, I’d be happy to post something for you, including pics, writing, art, etc. I will be happy to point anyone to a great Realtor if you are looking, or any other New River Valley information needed. I’m just changing the focus. Have a lovely day!

Jessey

EastMont Tomato Festival Approaches!!!

The long awaited annual tomato fest is almost here! I found this website early in the spring and got so excited! This Saturday in the Shawsville area there will be tomatoes galore, with food and contests. I hear it’s pretty fun, and I hope we get to stop by! The fun all takes place 10am-3pm, and if  you love heirloom and garden tomatoes like me then you should definitely find yourselves there! Get some tomatoes worth making a sandwich with! Here’s the link for pics and more info: EastMont Tomato Festival 2011.

Saturday at Depot Day

Here are some pics from the Depot Day celebration on Saturday!

Me on the phone leaving a tres glamorous message about parking!The event was sponsored by the Christiansburg Civic League with only two months preparation. Not too shabby!

This is a mail cart and a scale, which would’ve been used when all of the mail came into town on the train, and then was dispersed from there.

Plant sale! The chicks and hens went early- sad face.

Like little sunshine kisses.

Happy Mother’s Day to all you mothers out there!

Hugs,

Jessey Schaudt

Washington Post Writes about Pulaski

Recently this article crossed my Facebook feed and I thought it might add insight into the current situation in the New River Valley. While some of us aren’t able to get pay raises, or buy that new pair of Mary Janes we’re lusting over, others can’t afford groceries or electricity for their families. Let’s not forget to be grateful for what we have and always try to take care of each other. If you want to live in a nice community you must contribute to it. Click on the photo to see a few organizations helping out! If you’re looking for a good place to start donating, check out United Way to find a way to help that suits you!

Sincerely,

Jessey

Rhubarb Throwdown!

Evenin’!

Since celebrating it’s first anniversary of opening, Lucie Monroe’s Coffee Company has been having monthly throwdowns-challenges if you will- to test the knowledge and know how of the managers and staff. Tonight they will host two local foodies as they both make their best effort at rhubarb pie. Carol, writer for Cambria Cooks blog, will be going up against Laura (of Bollos and Souvlaki fame). This all kicks off at 7pm tonight, Lucie Monroe’s Coffee Company, 1600 Roanoke St, Sweet B  [; )]!

If Rhubarb is not your thing, check out this recipe from Cambria Cooks: Chocolate Macaroon Pie! I’m gonna try this one out soon- it looks too delicious!

Happy Tasting!
