Every now and then, we get a little warm up here (hey, it’s summer time: it happens!)  and a few little gripes emerge from various sources.

My response, politely thought if not actually stated?  “Get in your car.  Drive down the hill just 20 or so minutes.  Get out.  See what hot really is.  Get back in your car.  Come back to Highlands.  And quit complaining…..” 

Seriously.  I left Highlands last Monday with 75 showing on my car thermometer.  By the time I got to Walhalla, it was over 90 and 96 by Seneca.

One of my listings has been withdrawn.  Why?  They came up from a Southern city where it had been over 95 for well over a month straight.  The day they arrived, we had a high of maybe 65.  They looked at each other, said, in essence, “why in the heck are we selling?” and promptly told me to take it off the market. 

I don’t blame ‘em a bit.

So…. I’ll re-use the title phrase.

Get in your car and drive up here.  Get to Walhalla or Dillard or Franklin, check the outside temp, enjoy the drive up, and watch it drop. 

Check out the links I have on here, get a room at Old Edwards or one of the other great spots up here, make reservations at Lakeside or another amazingly good restaurant, and come to love Highlands as the rest of us do.

And remember:  no complaints……..
