    One of the special things at holiday time in the Pacific NW is the many Christmas tree farms with beautiful trees just waiting to be chosen and taken home to decorate.  Our family always makes a little outing of selecting the "perfect" tree, and this year we again visited Shorty B's Tree Farm...

I've been doing a little bit of previewing of possible listings for two different sets of buyers, and came across one that can be safely crossed off the list. Seemed like a long shot from the start since it is bank owned, with a flat roof (BAD idea in our rainy, rainy part of the world), and appe...

The weekend after Thanksgiving sees many folks getting into the holiday spirit, with shopping and decorating and local special holiday events.     On Sunday November 25th in downtown Olympia, there will be a number of fun holiday activities, from a parade to gingerbread cottages to a singing Chri...

I have to admit that I am in that group of people who just do NOT get the allure of Black Friday shopping - the whole getting up before daylight to join a herd of people trying to save a buck....I'm not a big fan of giving up sleep unless it's for something really worth while, and I don't love cr...
