Last Weekend wrapped up Brookings~Harbor Children's Theater's production of Disney's Beauty & The Beast.
I was overwhelmed with the support from the community towards their children. All shows last weekend were sold out!
I heard one comment from someone in the audience...."Did they bring an actress from Disneyland to play the part of Belle? She sounds just like the Belle from the movie!"
There were over 50 cast members ranging in age from 5 to 70 something! The costumes were fabulous and the energy unbelievable! All the hard work paid off with a spectacular performance! Enjoy the photos!

As of the release date on November 1, 2008 very few people have made application for this mortgage aid program. I don't know the reasons why there has been an underwhelming application, but it might be because homeowners haven't heard about it. I recall during the summer a few blurbs about an aid program being worked on, but not a whole lot of media about the actual release. Some people might think...where's Lori been? Under a rock or in a cave? But I have talked to several people and they say they haven't heard of it either.
The first advice they give is for homeowners to get in touch with their lenders to see if the lenders are willing to work with the program. The site is very helpful in explaining what will be involved in making application. And some qualifications as well.
The second link I want to share with you is Countrywide/BofA's Homeownership Retention program. They will not start taking applications until December 1, 2008. (Maybe this is why there hasn't been very many applications as of yet because all the Countrywide clients haven't been able to file)
And finally a link to a full report on CNN.com about the program and it's slow start.
It sounds to me like there is a tiny flicker of hope and we have to spread the word!
Hello Everyone! I stumbled upon this new group by way of Alexsandra Stewart. I am very excited about reading everyone's reviews and writing some of my own. I never have been a ferocious reader but lately I have found my nose in a good book almost daily! Some of my favorite authors are John Grisham, Anne Perry, Janet Evanovich and James Patterson. I like reading because it is much more entertaining than TV. (100 channels and nothing to watch!)
I am a frequent flyer with NW Airlines and received an email from them yesterday that they are merging with Delta. Seems to be a lot of this going on lately huh?
My World Perks membership stays in place and I get to keep all of my accumulated miles, so that's encouraging. I just have to wonder about fare and service changes. Of course it is always a plus when fares drop and services improve but how often does that happen? I can only hope!
I also discovered Allegiant Airlines recently and wanted to share them with you. Their fares are rock bottom but they are very limited on routes and dates. Check out their link and service airports. I haven't flown with them yet but I have to question how they can offer such low fares. Maybe they don't allow baggage or carry on for that matter. And the windows open so the people with window seats can stick their arms out and flap like the birdies. But seriously...I will give them a try because they just started a Medford, OR. to Phoenix, AZ. route for $120 round trip! Amazing!!
This encouraging post from my friend Cameron Wilson gives sound advice to buyers. Right now is a good time to buy! We need to stop listening to the negative slant the media is pushing on us all the time and look at things in a positive and professional manner.
All of Us Rely on the Media to Keep us Informed " Up To The Minute" on Current Events and the manner we receive this information varies from the Internet, Television and the old fashion Newspaper but the fact remains we all to a certain degree allow others to influence our opinions. What if the information we receive is slanted to fit the Ideals of the Reporter and how much influence does it have on the population as a whole? Does this create a mindset that influences people's attitude? You bet it does but do most people investigate the information to see if it is true? Most of the time the answer is NO!!!!!
It is no Secret the Real Estate Market is Down From Previous Years and the media has reported this even though the years they like to use as a comparison were over inflated as the early years of 2000 were not Average. So be it but now many in the Media are trying to bring to the public the falsehood that people cannot get a Home Loan let alone qualify for a loan. What a bunch of "BS" being dumped upon the American public as what the Media is neglecting to say is it's not possible to get a"Liars Loan" where no information on the loan application is verified!!!!
Thirty Years Ago My Wife and I Purchased Our First Home with a FHALoan, last I heard FHA was still in business, that allowed us to achieve the American Dream of owning our own home at the tender age of 22 & 20 respectivally. We had to verify that we had jobs and a 3% down payment, borrowed from my parents, and with this Old fashion concept we moved into Our Taj Mahal. By the way the interest rate back then was 10% fixed!!!!
When I have a Problem With my Car I seek Out the Advice of a Professional Mechanic even though the Media reports GM is having a problem with their business as I do not understand how my vehicle was built but they have the Truth to my questions. IF you have a question about a subject seek out the advice of a professional in the industry as they know the reality of the their Profession regardless of what the Media may say.
In The Past Three Weeks Four Families Have obtained Loans and Closed Escrow on homes with me personally, three in Murrieta and one in Menifee Ca., so I guess they must not have been watching the news as they were too busy achieving the American Dream. I don.t say this to brag as I sell Real Estate and I don't know the first thing about running a Newspaper or Media outlet.

Rainbow Rock is named for the colorful ribbons of different layers of rock at the bottom of the small hill along the beach. This beach is very difficult to get to because it is alongside Highway 101 and the access is pretty much a cliff! There is a vista point turn off on a wide shoulder of the highway and that is how I achieved these photos.
