A Word From Marc: I don't know how to drive a manual car. There I said it. I confess. Hey I'm a New Yorker. I'm lucky I know how to drive a car at all. It's a weakness that hasn't come up very often in my life but It would explain why I didn't get that job as a valet. At this time in my life, I still try and learn new things. I like the challenge. My car has been in the shop since someone rear-ended me in the last snow storm so in an effort to improve myself I bought an old 1984 manual car. I've been teaching myself to drive this relic from when Ronald Reagan served his second term. It's not that hard and it's kind of fun. Sorry if you see me stalled out on Pleasant Lake Rd. I figured as I get older, I have two options. I can find a comfortable La-Z-Boy or I can keep challenging myself. At least most of the time I prefer the latter. Don't get me wrong, I love a good comfortable chair but I'm always curious about the next provocation. I know I won't master it but if I get stuck in a small European town with a manual car, I can figure it out. My friends Ray And Beth have raised their boys and are now moving on to their next adventure. Their home is now available to the next family. It has been recently remodeled to perfection. Beth is a gifted gardener who has made the outside a paradise of native plants. Ray himself a talented pool boy has taken meticulous care of the 40 x 20 outdoor pool. It's a glorious spot to spend the summer, let alone the rest of the year. Please check out the additional photos and videos online. -Marc 30 BLUE JAY LANE | $1,266,000 MARC OWENS - KURTZ Lakes Sotheby's 612-751-6472 | MARC@LAKESMN.COM TOP PRODUCER & REGULAR GUY!
