Makeover...in progress. Thanks to you, I went from a small website in the mid nineties
 to three websites busting at the seams now, in 2007. 
To complicate matters, I learned about the Internet and web-building on the fly 
and managed to do everything wrong more than once.
The web and you are forgiving, Thank You. 
Now it is time to pull the three sites apart and rebuild. 
So forgive the mess.
Here's the plan for news: AtHomeCharlotte.com will relay the good news
 about Charlotte people and places.
 I love this place  and the heartbeat, so this will be fun.
The RealEstateLady®.com is bringing real estate news. 
Maybe locally, regionally and nationally. 
Whatever applies in my opinion. And you know I have one. 
We are a small town with a global hat.
CandoCanDo® is of course all about Charlotte condos...and townhomes...
here you will find more personal commentary because condominiums, 
after all ,are my specialty.

I have designed an abbreviation of the news reports and will be adding those from this date forward.
As the rebuilding takes shape,  articles from 2001  will be archived and accessible.

"I am part of Charlotte...
and
Charlotte is part of me."
