Those among us who are under the age of eighteen are enthusiastically careening toward the first week of June when freedom shall once again reign supreme. The school year ends and summer begins….officially. However, for the parents of these freed, tweeting, over-digitalized, virtual gamers, a space-time rift (known as a black hole) forms. So, in an effort to help maintain the real-time presence of being a “parent”, here are a few tips: 1) Electricity is necessary to power all digital devices (including an iPhone); 2) The digital devices eventually find their way home; Alex Dimonte and Julie Mullen Emily Pantiledes and Paul Robbins Jack Lighton and Giovanni Di Stadio 3) There is electricity at home; 4) Electricity costs money and flows in a current; 5) The current can be interrupted...... permanently; a. option one – have the child’s room established as a separate billing address by FP&L, or b. option two – go “off grid”; 6) Once the current is interrupted – communication can be restored. These above suggestions may save the lives of many unsuspecting parents. However, in the event that more extreme measures are necessary, there are multiple locations throughout the Appalachian Mountains, the Poconos, or even the Everglades where there are no cell towers, Wi-Fi units, DSL lines, Cable, batteries, or even hot showers. These locations are called “camps”. Arrangements can be made prior to the conclusion of the school year for immediate transportation of the children to and from these “camps”. Most “camps” convene for the duration of the summer. Should your child require persuasion to attend, they can be lured onto any waiting camp bus with the sound of the “angry birds” soundtrack. Being a parent requires collaboration– whether a parent is married, divorced, or single. Children are quite capable of Karen Williams, Eddie Perez and Maria Perez attempting to emotionally or physically manipulate circumstances to get what they want. Children need to know that they are loved, and that there are limits to what is permissible and what is not. If both parents are available, both parents should actively be involved in drawing and enforcing boundaries for the children. Divorce should never be the excuse for failing to establish boundaries. If you have questions about how to successfully parent in a divorce, paternity, or other court proceeding, please contact me at: [email protected], or at (561)472-0805.

AN ALTERNATIVE TO MONEY MARKET FUNDS May is behind us and both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 reached new all time highs last month. Interest rates in the US and Europe rose from their amazingly low yields but remain at very low levels based on their historical average. The Federal Reserve has remained neutral on any rate increase so far. The Fed’s next meeting is set for June 16 - 17 and few expect the Fed to raise rates at this meeting due to the continued weakness in the economy.

TRUSTED REAL ESTATE ADVISORS
OUR BUSINESS IS BUILT ON TRUST AND RELATIONSHIPS. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIAL FROM OUR CLIENT OF OVER 5 YEARS: Updated review 05/2015: I have worked with Dawn & Dan for the last 5 years on several real estate transactions. Most recently, they helped me sell my home. I did not know them before contacting them about my real estate needs in 2010. They have always been courteous, knowledgeable, professional, informative & extremely helpful. I have been regularly surprised at how frequently Dawn & Dan have done more than I have asked of them. They are a wealth of resources & information. They have saved me a tremendous amount of time & money over the years. I have been more impressed with the service I have received from Dawn & Dan than I have been with any other service-oriented professionals with whom I have ever worked. I am extremely grateful to have had the good fortune of working with Dawn & Dan. They have my utmost respect & friendship. Review from 2010: I have had the pleasure of working with the Malloy Realty Group to lease my home. I took a chance as I did not know Dawn & I did not know anyone who had worked with her previously. When I originally contacted Dawn I was presented with options & a specific plan of action.
