Create A BlogHappy Independence Day! |
Posted at AskAndyRaffle by Andy Raffle

"You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism." - Erma Bombeck
I could not agree with Mrs. Bobmbeck more, and who am I to argue with Erma Bombeck, anyway? Even on a dreary overcast Holiday weekend, it's easy for me to count my blessings, not only for living in a great country but, also for living in a great community. I love Lower Makefield Township and I love Bucks County Pennsylvania. I'm a transplanted New Yorker, my family came to Bucks County in 1972 when I was 9 years old, and I've stayed here ever since. Brooklyn born, Bucks County offered quite a change of scenery and a new environment that took some getting used to but, after having spent the past 36 years of my life here, I have no plans on ever living anyplace else.
The good news is that unlike many people who find their paradise and then look for a way to lock the door, I'd like to help you to join me in Bucks County, preferably the Yardley/Newtown area, where I live but, all of Bucks has so much to offer that your present community might not. Where else can you be within 90 minutes of Manhattan, 30 minutes of Philadelphia and 20 minutes of Princeton all while having the local farmer as your neighbor and friend? Where else can you enjoy the beautifully meandering Delaware River and all the scenic and recreational opportunities it offers? Where else can you enjoy art museums, theater, entertainment and nightlife or choose to just sit in your yard and watch the deer come out at sunset? Where else can you choose to live in a newly built home or the one right next door where George Washington may well have slept? Speaking of George Washington Bucks County was the staging area for the final battle at Trenton and here, in Washington Crossing, many of the buildings still stand.
My wife Chris and I have raised our three children here in Lower Makefield and we could not be happier. The Pennsbury School District is widely recognized as a terrific school system and the educational and extra-curricular offerings are unparalleled.
I invite you to spend a day in Bucks County with me. Let me show you all that our area has to offer and help you to find the house of your dreams. I'm certain that you'll be as happy as I am with this incredible area.
