Yes, the 7 dwarfs have aged and not handsomely.Like us all,, they have their issues.We all can't grow old gracefully, but with some dignity would be nice.I think the 7 aging dwarfs symbolize many of us in these advancing years.I just hope that I can do better than these little guys

I have been real busy showing land.Many people have decided that building is the way to go, even if they have to wait until next year.If you have not set up building plans yet you may have to wait, but if you have much of that ready...I have builders ready and willing to build this year yet. BUT THAT TIME IS GETTING SHORT!!!!!

With the 4th in the middle of the week it gives people a chance to have a long weekend.Some will have taken Monday and Tuesday off.That would give them at least 5 days off.The rest will take off Thursday ad Friday.   Again 5 days off.And some will take off the entire week.  Gives them 9 days. It matters very little.The point is there is and will be a lot of traffic.A lot of people out playing. Please...watch for those not paying attention.Let's try and keep it a safe holiday This is the wrong way to spend your vacation!

When did you last hear Our National Anthem?Think about it. This was on a talk show on one of my favorite radio stations.Well, it was a consensus that it was most likely a Sporting Event. The Dems and Reps played it during Their National Conventions. But when else?I honestly can not tell you when I heard it last that it was not one of these places.You don't hear it at a theater before the show.  Why? We are working at pushing GOD our of the legal system.  and we are pushing him out of our schools.What next...are we going to take candy from babies?

it is the day before the 4th and an accident has happened.A 17 year old got serious burns on his hands from some fire works.First off they wee illegal.Second he was not even old enough to buy in he neighboring state.He is very lucky as the damage is temporary.It just can not be said enough...  This may seem like a joke but it really is not|!

AS many of you know I posted  a cartoon the other day.But the gremlins once again took it.I wish they would find a new source for their comedy.But anyways.  Here is a twist on an old joke.Although the same wording, an entirely different meaning.   I hope you did enjoy!

With something of 10,000 lakes to recreate on fishing is one of the most popular.It can be a inexpensive hobby or one that can get you to invest thousands...(that would be me).  And that does not include the boat.A fishing license is under $40 for a married couple for all year!That is pennies a day! Take a kid fishing and see the smiles on their faces!

My wife and I have separate parking spaces.She doesn't like the way I drive let a lone park.But  am not the one who backed out of the garage without opening the overheadgarage door.Nor am I the one who backed out and right into a guests parked car.So, this cartoon is very appropriate!

yes it has cooled down.The humidity has also dropped.WE had a good rain of nearly 2 inches/.It cooled us off and lower the humidity so right now 67 feels almost cool.But, hey, we don't mind.  It is much easier  to breath tonight.Tomorrow it is back into the 8's

Well yes, it is hat but the 90 I am talking about is in my home.The air conditioner decided to go on vacation.So, lucky for us we have a basement.It is about 15 degrees cooler but still a bit sticky for good sleep.It is supposed to get down to 70 by morning with stormy rain.That is a welcome sound in my book!  Does make you wonder how the wildlife handle it although they are in the elements all year long

The 4th of July , like so many other holidays have lost their meaning. But for me, I will NEVER forget.My family since WWI has lost 17 family members,   12 in WWI alone.This is nothing compared to our forefathers who first fought to make  us free.My Grandfather was the sole living male of his families lineage,  So he was called off the Russian front lines. There were uncles and cousins along the way all the way through Vietnam.Sadly, so many people take what they did for granted and even scoff at the idea of fighting for our country.The 4th celebrates our freedom but should also celebrate those who still today fight.If the Politicians would get their heads  out of the southern orifice things may change a bit.But for now I will just celebrate the day at  hand!

I ran across this puzzle from some time back.I thought some of us oldies would enjoy it and many newbies would scratch their heads at it.So, now go ahead and read the below statement.Did you find the mistake?If not, read t again, only slower.If you still have not found it...sorry, can't help you.

I hear people talk ab out college all the time.How far in debt they are.There is a segment of the population that needs help.The trades.Electrician.Plumbers.CarpentersMasonry.and a lot more.These are had work jobs that will py very very well and not cause you to borrow 10's of thousands.Many builders and craftsmen will even train you without you going to school. Think about learning a trade!  It could be a great life choice!

I was watching the news they talked about permit parking. This is not a free permit.You would need to get a permit for visitors. This is just  not what I want my clients to deal with.But it seems to be a way of life. So, living in the rural areas allows you to park where ever there is an open spot, most likely in your own drive.Want more freedom in your parking?Call me and let me show you the freedom of rural living.

So you want to receive great customer service.Well there is one thing you need to do.We have all seen the person that has yelled at the person they are asking help from. So here it is...1. smile2. nicely explain your situation.3. be patient4. DON'T YELL5. Remember the store has policies.  (policies that can be stretched especially by supervisors AT TIMES).6. Treat these people the way that you really want to be treated...ie;  Don't yell and swear at them if you don't want to be treated that way. Remember, these people have rules the company have made and they need to follow them.Put yourself in their shoes...
