A Middleboro Icon (Lorenzo Grosso)
They say that it takes a lifetime to get things right. I feel it takes a lifetime of hard work, honesty, compassion and drive to leave an everlasting legacy. Who we are dictates our success more than anything we will ever say. Last Thursday, July 25, 2013, Middleboro said goodbye to that type of person. Lorenzo Grosso who started Lorenzo’s in Middleboro years ago, passed away at the young age of 91. I was not a close friend of Lorenzo but when I saw him out and about or at Lorenzo’s, being around him was a treat for the inquisitive…
Time to Check the Heating System
My friend Eric Davis of Davis Mechanical in Braintree always says how important it is to maintain a home’s heating and cooling systems to avoid a break down. Too many people forget about simply cleaning and changing filters on a regular basis. As Eric says, “It’s not magic, it’s maintenance.” By having someone like Eric come and check your system and conduct routine maintenance, you will save money, as well as the aggravation of ending up with an emergency situation. Would you let your car go without an oil change for 10,000 miles? Probably not. Next time you get that done,…

An Interior Designer Helps Make a Room Look Finished
I don’t think the average homeowner understands what an interior designer really does. Similar to using a kitchen designer, homeowners feel that they can “do it themselves”. I just spoke with a landlord this week who is doing an apartment over before a new tenant moves in. He is doing most of the work himself, but had a carpenter helping him re-configure the kitchen area and the adjacent bedroom, adding a closet. But the measurements were off. As a result, he’s only going to be able to fit a small apartment sized oven into the kitchen instead of a standard sized oven. He…
Is Your Website Mobile-Ready?
Being actively involved and on the Board of the Cranberry Country Chamber of Commerce, I’m always interested in helping other business owners be successful. That’s why today I wanted to recommend that every business have a mobile-ready website. Millions of searches are being done on mobile devices every day. More importantly, those searches are resulting in business! So any business that can’t be found – and navigated easily – on a mobile device, will be left in the dust by their competition. Our own Webmaster, Beth Sobiloff, owner of Birchwood Enterprises, can give any business a mobile-ready website. That means…

Need your land surveyed?
Today, I’d like to make a recommendation to homeowners. Once in awhile, all home owners need their land surveyed for one reason or another. It might be for a new fence, a new addition, or selling the house. Whatever the reason, if you’re in the Wood Palace Kitchens geographic area, roughly south shore, southeastern Massachusetts, I highly recommend that you use Webby Engineering. They actually have a special going on right now for mortgage plot plans. A mortgage plot plan is used by mortage lenders and title insurance companies to answer the following questions: Is the house on the correct…
Why Spark Business Consulting is my Favorite Bookkeeping Company
I often wonder why businesses struggle with everything they need to do, all the hats they have to wear. Whether they’re good at it or not, they seem to feel that they need to do everything themselves. Many times, I’m sure that it’s a matter of whether they’re going to spend the money on hiring someone, or just do it themselves and use those funds for something else. When it comes to bookkeeping services, I’m especially convinced that business owners do themselves a real disservice by trying to save a few bucks and keep their own books. The advantages of…
