real estate agent: Reminders of long ago when we didn't have electric clothes dryers. Not necessarily a pleasant memory. - 08/23/09 12:07 PM
Diapers?  Lots of them and they had to be hung out to dry.  Freezing weather?  Hot as hades weather?  No matter.....the wash goes on.
I'm afraid I lived through some of this and saw my mother live through a lot more of it.  I found this old basket the other day … (28 comments)

Charles Buell sent me this Friendship Ball and I consider it either a true gesture of friendship or another one of his "picking on me" schemes.  I met Charles through Activerain along with lots of other fine folks throughout the country.  Charles, Home Inspector Supreme, has taught me all I'll ever need to know about water … (12 comments)

real estate agent: Spectacular view of downtown Searcy taken from atop the Court House. - 09/13/08 07:29 AM

This old picture is another treasure and I believe it is also from our girl scout photography project done by Paula.  She took them in the 40's.  To take this she must have climbed up to the top of the Court House.  The view she took shows the old Searcy Bank … (18 comments)

A university student called me about needing a reasonably priced home so that he could live there and possibly rent out rooms to a few friends.  We went to look at a foreclosure that really is in good shape.  It has no fleas!!  It was left clean.  It has been updated.  … (18 comments)

I've written two blogs about the fleas in this REO house!  Yesterday I went to the house after stopping at the Dollar Store and buying 3 flea bombs.  I wore my shorts, sprayed my legs and timidly tread through the house to set the bombs off.  I put one in the hall, one … (28 comments)
