Only a Handful Left!

As previously stated in my last entry, summer is coming quick, and units are going fast. 5 more units at Dockside Resorts are set to be sold in the coming weeks, leaving a very small number available for this upcoming season. With the succesfull sale of these 5 units, the prices of the remaining units will increase to reflect the "inventory" on hand. Prices are not yet into the 300's, so if you'd like to enjoy all the best the St. Lawrence River has to offer at a great price, you'd better hurry. Once again, if anyone is interested, the association is accepting %100 Refundable Deposits to hold units for viewing and inspections. For more information, visit our website. You'll find great pictures and descriptions of the property, and you'll be able to fill out a form to recieve direct information from the C/O and General Manager of the property. Don't miss out on this great summer vacation and year round playground, and don't miss out on the current low prices!

Get one before they're gone!

I recently spoke with the C/O and General Manager of the property (Jarrett Newby) about the remaining units. Mr. Newby has informed me that he has more people interested in the condos than he has available units. If you are at all interested in one of these fine homes, please go to our website, Dockside Resorts Condos for Sale, and fill out the contact form. Mr. Newby will respond to your questions and will be more than happy to hold 100% Refundable Deposits on units. Hurry, summer will be here before you know it !

This weekends's Events

Well, today was the Chippewa Bay ice fishing derby, and the weather was great! Alot of folks showed up for the annual event as the weather was much better than last year. Tomorrow is the big Chilli Cook-off at the Morristown Volunteer Fire Department. This event is always fun for everyone. With all the different varieties and recepies, and the creative presentations, there's bound to be something that'll catch your interest. Come on out tomorrow and don't forget the TUMS.

If you're looking for something for the kids to enjoy, the Morristown Central School is having a circus tomorrow as well. Come see the clowns and all that this big top has to offer. See everyone there!

Warming Up

Well, the river was frozen, but has since opened back up. And, in comparison, the amount of people interested in buying the remaining condos here at Dockside Resorts, has "opened up" as well. Numerous people have contacted us lately for purchasing information, and with only a limited number of units left, they won't last long. If you think you might be interested, check out our information website on the property. Here you'll find not only great pictures and information, but you'll be able to request information by email. www.docksideresortscondosforsale.com For more information on the exciting projects happening in Morristown, New York, check out some of our links below.

River Freezing

The river's freezing! Woo hoo! Hopefully the river will freeze over enough to allow folks to get out and enjoy some ice fishing and snowmobiling in their "front yards". But, I can only assume from the weather report this moring that come Tuesday, it'll all be gone. We'll just have to wait and see. If you're going to go out to check the ice, take care and be safe!

A look inside, and a Great Info Resource

In my last entry, looking back, I feel I may have painted somewhat of a boring picture for our community. That was certainly not my intention. Just, thinking about times when I was a young child, it may have seemed like there was sooo much more to do. As children, the world seems like such a huge endless space, but also at the same time, so small and almost centered around you. So maybe that's where I was headed, maybe the child inside was trying to remember the fun times, and question where they were today. Those fun times, and fun activities still exist, just not in the same areas, and not in the same form as I remember them. I think as we get older, not all, but some of us lose that sense of fun, and the world no longer seems to be so vast, and personal, it simply becomes life. We get drawn in to the norm. We become almost robotic with our daily lives and start to forget about, and lose enthusiasm for the small things in life, like going outside to make a snowman in the front yard, or running through the snowbanks with your dog, or even have a snowball fight with the kids next door. There's always something great about everyday, maybe I should turn off the auto-pilot, and start looking for that reason to smile till my cheeks hurt everyday.

So now, today I started to research information on mortgages. Along with alot of folks in America, my wife and I chose, a couple of years ago, to purchase a home. At the time, the best possible financing option was to get a 100% interest only financed mortgage with an ARM. As we have approx. 2 years left on the fixed portion of our term, I decided it would be a good idea to start making a game plan - you know, just in case our bank wants to do the maximum increase allowed each year. So just to let you know, I found a great site where there is loads of information on mortgages, links to various lenders, calculators to help you figure terms, and even a discussion board where you can post your concerns, and have actual, living people who have been there before, answer your questions and give you insight and solutions to your problems. This is a great place to find free financial advice, not from books, but from people who know, who have made the mistakes, and who can protect you from making them as well. http://www.mortgagefit.com/ I hope this will be a valuable resource for those who need it.

Dockside Village Project

Dockside Village of the 1000 Islands, once a dream, now will soon be underway. With word that construction will be resuming in the coming months, those of us dedicated to the project are getting the buzz. It's been a long winter, but the news of a much anticipated return-to-work date instills a fire inside us that could melt the snow. If only that could be! Anyhow, to those who are going to keep an eye on this project, DON'T BLINK!!!, with all the enthusiasm and stored energy from the winter months, this building should be up in no time.

And so Dockside Resorts remains silent under a blanket of the North Country's insulation. It is a quiet time of year for not only the condos, but for the entire community of Morristown. It's amazing how just 15 years ago, the river out front was always frozen by now and filled with the shacks of Ice Fishers, tracks from the various snowmobiles, and even a few full sized trucks. These days past used to enjoy snowmobile races, fishing derbies, hockey games on the river, and the building of magnificent snow sculptures. Today, we see open water, flat as glass, but unfortunately - not a sheet of ice. What's happened to our "Winter Wonderland"?
