Chef – Michelle Calkins and Associates

Every once in a while you meet a client or clients who touch your heart. Most of the time you needed
them more than they needed you.

Although I may still be “new” in the business, every transaction makes me grow and my knowledge of the business becomes more clear. In this particular transaction I learned about loans and how they can affect you and the client. I do find it important to do research and ask around before choosing your loan officer.

Today, I had the honor of presenting a set of keys to a very happy new home owner. This was one of those we hit it off right away and knew we would be friends forever type of clients… I’m not kidding!

These 2 pictures are are my happy moments in Real Estate. I will always remember the client who said he just used his “last dime” on his new house and wouldn’t be able to afford toilet paper… (You had to be there, it’s an inside joke and yes I really did buy him toilet paper!)

Congrats Carmen and welcome to Lake Arrowhead, I look forward to many fun days and nights in the future with you and Penny!

Don’t worry, Chef has soda water, and of course I have Champagne!

From DUCK FAT FRIES to FRENCH PRESS, this Bistro is serving an upscale, full-service menu sure to shake your taste buds!

Have you been to the new restaurant Stone Creek Bistro that’s sits in the tiny town of Agua Fria? If you have not stopped in to try out this new restaurant then let me tell you that you are missing out! Stone Creek Bistro is about to have their 1 year Anniversary on July 29 and the community is thriving off the good food and fun atmosphere they have provided. From the front page of their website: {We feature seasonally driven produce, locally sourced dairy and meats, and house-made desserts, all created with love and passion by chef Sam Perry. Our menu is moderately priced, with an eclectic mix of regional American comfort food and traditional French bistro cuisine. We use time-honored recipes as well as some cutting-edge molecular-gastronomy techniques} For those of you who have experienced the “New American/ French Spice/ Southern Flair” that Stone Creek is cooking up then I can bet I am making your mouth salivate just by blogging about this 😉

If you have not had the chance yet to try what Chef Sam Perry is dishing up, then I suggest you stop what you are doing and make a reservation tonight! Two of my favorite dishes are the Ahi Tuna Tartare Appetizer $14 and the Braise Lamb Osso Bucco $29!

Don’t forget to ask about the “Blue Plate Special.” Stone Creek Bistro is Family owned and operated, literally almost every employee is a brother, cousin, spouse or parent! The chalk art on the walls and menu boards are hand drawn by Sam’s wife Jamie Perry. Sonny Perry Sr. can be seen greeting all who come in, he is also the one who does all the beer and wine ordering, and if you were wondering… yes the beer and wine selection is just as good as the food! I am such a huge fan of the Interior décor. The chalk board menus, the lighting and the pallet walls are just the perfect modern touch! Sonny built the bar top with his own hands out of his garage, and all the tables came from local antique stores.

Dinner hours: Tues – Thurs 5pm – 9pm Fri & Sat 5pm – 10pm Sun: 5pm – 9pm
