    Just Too Busy ~ I Guess or So It Seems     One of the biggest questions I have always had is why don't people either answer your questions or return your phone calls, or just have someone else return the phone call if you are "too busy or do not want to be bothered".  Unprofessional is the explanation I have for this behavior in my humble opinion, and it has been happening a lot lately.   I have had buyers call me  out of the blue and want to see a property, they had called and left messages with the listing agent and the agent will not or could get back to them in any way.  Assign the task if you cannot call or text back.  This seems to be happening a lot on bank owned type of properties, short sales and the like.   When I call a Realtor and need an answer to a question before show... 09/13/2013

  Nothing Like Deciding To Sell and Then Changing Your Mind   My husband and I have thought for quite a while that we might like to sell and downsize just a little in the yard.  No so much the house, but our yard and garden are a lot to keep up and look beautiful like we like it.  I took a good look around the house and knew that we needed to make some changes in color, some flooring, appliances and so on.  This thought took a lot of time if that makes any kind of sense, plus we have been in this house for 17 years.  We have a lot of "stuff".  I am a collector of dishes.  I have never seen a dish or glassware that I did not like.  I like books and have or had a collection of children's books and auto-biographies.  Loved them all.  Sometimes I will read a book two or three times if I rea... 07/12/2013

Reading A Post and Remembering the Story of "Living A Dream"       Reading today's posts was an enlightening experience and made me remember a beautiful incident for me that was just in passing really.  I was reading Kathy Streib's "What I learned This Week at Active Rain - May 19 - May 25", this morning and hit upon Richie Naggar's post " The meaning of a Burger and Fries", and was struck by the simplicity and his thoughtful presentation.  One of the comments that was made by Mark Delgado was regarding how he replied when people would ask how he was doing.  He responds with something along the lines of "Just glad to be here!".  I am not surprised at the shock some people feel when that is said to them.   Living The Dream:  I was shopping at a different Costco than I normally shop at an... 05/28/2013

Ways of Advertising that worked for me.... Then and Now I have done many things in my lifetime and had several successful businesses of my own, one of which was going to school (2 years), studying for and becoming a Massage Therapist early in the 1990's.  I began with nothing but a rented room, my massage table, oils, lotions, telephone and a lot of hope. I had been in sales for many years and was itching to get started.   I made a business plan that was fairly detailed with facts and money guidelines.  Advertising was part of my limited budget but I knew that without some form of advertising no one would ever know I was there let alone find me. I tried lots of things, grocery carts, name in telephone books of different organizations, sports calendars, going to all of the events handin... 02/12/2013

  The Lights and Sounds of The Wilsonville Meadows NeighborhoodChristmas Season 2012 The lights and sounds of the Wilsonville Meadows neighborhood video came a little later than I wanted, but the old adage of better later than never is my excuse.  Our neighborhood is a congenial one where everyone is friendly and cares about their neighbors.  We have many dog walkers, runners, cyclists, and people who just walk for the exercise and communing with their neighbors.  This neighborhood has been around since around 1992, and the neighborhood has matured, yet the yards and homes are well kept, neat and tidy with the beauty of lots of brilliant color in the Spring and Summer months.  When Fall arrives the trees are all decorated with the yellows, oranges, reds and rust colors that bless the Fa... 01/14/2013

Henry Our Beautiful and Funny Golden Retriever A Portrait Henry is a rescue dog.  We have had him about three years and he has enriched our lives tremendously.  He is about 5 now and goes with us wherever we can take him.  I decided to paint Henry and the following is the process it took to get to the final portrait.  It is watercolor on Canvas with an Acrylic background.  It took me a while as I cannot devote all my time to painting and in the meantime just a couple of months really, Henry's face got a little whiter.  Just the same he is the best leaner, gentle and loving dog.  We are so fortunate.                                      Henry Our Beautiful and Funny Golden Retriever A Portrait 2012   01/07/2013
