Stop the Spread of Cold and Flu Viruses This School Year It is a new school year and parents need to remember that the kids are likely to bring home many viruses.

When kids are sick, they can get behind in school work and it can effect their grades. Elementary school children get 8-12 colds or cases of the flu each school year and for older students, it is about half that ratio. It is important for parents, teachers and kids work together to stop the spread of germs in the classroom. Everyone can follow these simple steps to help prevent the spread of germs that can cause cold and flu viruses this school year. Get vaccinated: Getting a yearly flu vaccine is the first and mos...

The History of Scarecrows The History of Scarecrows   Hungry birds have always been a problem and they eat the crops in the fields. The first recorded history of Scarecrows were over 2500 years ago when the Egyptians and Greeks put them in their fields to protect the wheat from large flocks of quail and other hungry birds. Immigrants who moved to the United States during the 1800s brought with them a variety of ideas for making scarecrows. In Pennsylvania, German farmers built human looking scarecrows called a bootzamon or bogeyman. His body was a wooden cross and his head was a broom or mop top or a cloth bundle stuffed with straw. The bootzamon wore old overalls, a long-sleeved shirt or coat, a worn woolen or straw hat, and a large red hankerchief around his neck. Sometimes a second s...

Today is the Last Day of Summer 2013....Enjoy to the Very Last Minute         Fall is definitely my favorite season as I love the leaves turning golden hues and falling to the ground. My Petunas are so colorful and smile up at the sunlight.               Walking through the crunchy leaves and seeing the pumpkins show up and getting closer to the holidays but.....I still want to savor the last few hours of SUMMER.                 My flowers are still blooming so nicely and of course it is still hot here so it will not feel much like Fall for a month or more.             Here are a few pictures I took today to remind me of the Summer gone by. These Petunas have grown wild this summer.                       Happy Last Day of Summer!             Thanks for Reading my blog.   California is a...

  5 Apps I Could Not Live Without and Make My Life Easier   Since I first got my iPhone and iPad, I have loved finding new apps and many make my job a lot easier. Some are just so-so but fun but here is a list of the ones I use over and over.   PDFill- This app on my iPad is a lifesaver as while in the field I can create files and email them within seconds. With the tools, you can merge or split files, scan documents and even do watermarks.     Evernote- This is a multifunction app that allows you to do lots of things. You can be sitting in a class taking notes on your iPad, making a list of things to do, taking a photo and sending it off or saving it to view later. You can post a photo to one of your sites (facebook, twitter, word press) or email to a friend.     Genius Scan- This is a...

August is Clean-Up Your Office Month....So Everyone Get Busy       I try to keep my office clean but it becomes a catch all for all the things I do not really have a place for. Believe it or not, I think everything should be in the right drawer, the dishwasher and not the sink, the dirty clothes and not the floor or closet, put away or in the trash if not needed BUT there is also a  place where I might want to put something because I just may need it again. Can you guess where that place is? Yes it is my office.         I even have a glass cabinet over my file cabinet to put momentos in like trophies, special items from  my past, and things I buy on trips. But also this cabinet becomes a catch all for other items that I cannot throw away. And my desktops are a catch all as I have two de...

Do You Know What is in Your Attic?     My mother bought a condo in 2007 and I of course was her Realtor. We had a home inspection and all went great and she closed escrow. So now a few years later and we are selling the condo and the new buyers had a home inspection. And much to my surprise, there was a request to "Remove the Antenna and all Personal Items" from the Attic. What? Personal Property? An Antenna?           Since we have owned it, this condo had a lot of upgrades including a ceiling fan in the master suite. Recently we had the florescent fixture removed from the kitchen and had recessed lighting put in with crown moulding and these upgrades were all done by licensed contractors. Both times they did get into the attic to do the wiring. BUT no one ever mentioned anything stran...

Get Healthy Making a Yummy Healthy Shake in 2 Minutes     Whether you have fruit on your trees or you buy it at the grocery store, you can make a yummy shake in just a couple of minutes and I find it takes longer to get the blender out than it does to mix the ingredients.             I just add a few tasty fruits and usually never peel them except for the banana and the apple core. I fill the blender about 1/3-1/2 full, throw in a big scoop 1/2 cup of Greek Non-Fat Plain Yogart and blend until mixed. Add some ice if you want it really cold. Pour it in a fancy glass and sit and watch the sun coming up on the patio. What a way to start off your day.             If I get busy and miss dinner, I sometimes just make a shake and drink it instead of a heavy meal. And here I can watch the sun g...

Being a Realtor and Celebrating My Birthday all in One Day   Read my emails and posted on my ActiveRain Blog.         First of all I took items to the thrift store from one of my almost vacant homes.         Went to a class at our local Board of Realtors on 'HUD Homes' in the morning.         Met my daughter for lunch at Angelo's which is a cute restaurant in my city.           Worked on a new flyer for my newest listing.           Met the Lowe's truck at a property as they were delivering a new refrigerator.         Negotiated a Request for Repairs on a property in escrow.         Logged onto Equator and completed a new task for a short sale listing I have.       Went out to Macaroni Grill for dinner to celebrate "MY BIRTHDAY' with my family.       Came home and did some computer work,...
