Sub-Prime.....Help - 08/31/07 12:05 PM
I have a question. It's open to anyone who can answer it as I'm not quite sure who to ask it of.
First, a little history as I understand it.
The sub-prime market allowed many families and individuals the means to purchase a house. The rates were lower and maybe even "teaser" and were ARMs. The housing market booms. All is right with the world.
Then sub-prime lenders begin going bust. The A lenders are worried as one of their ranks closes shop. Those home owners with ARMs are having trouble making their mortgage payments because the rates have gone up and the 'teaser' … (11 comments)

A Real Life Surprise by Design - Part 2 - 08/29/07 03:55 PM
I promised a finished picture and story. It's been a long time coming, but finally, I have finished pictures. Yea!!!
When our son came home from boy scout camp and walked into his room, he saw blue walls with tape on them. He stopped and just stared. His first words were, "I got a new light!"
Since his room wasn't finished and his brother's room was the storage space for all the stuff, the boys had no beds to sleep in. Poor guys had to set up their camp cots in the living room. There they slept for the next week. (and then some.)

Uploading Photos - 08/28/07 04:55 PM
Is anyone else having problems uploading photos for their blogs?
I'm trying to put a new post together with photos that I've taken and when I go to upload the selected picture, I get a screen saying that it is unable to do so. The first reason listed as a possibility is that I'm not connected to the internet. As you can see, that is not my problem.
I've sent a note to the techies of AR but haven't received a response yet. I wondered if anyone else has had this problem and know how to address it? Of if the techies … (6 comments)

Look at me!! - 08/23/07 06:06 PM
A common greeting and response between two people: "It's good to see you." "It's good to see you too." This is most always said with a smile.
My response to this greeting though is "It's good to be seen." There are many reasons for my response. Sometimes I'm in a good mood. Other times I'm being a smart a**. And most of the time, my reason is that I'm happy to be alive.
There are many ways and reasons people wish to be seen:
Reflective tape on running gear for night running and biking.Running lights on boats for night boating.Realtors use branding and advertising. Orange hats … (5 comments)

Salmon Bake! - 08/22/07 06:31 PM
Have you ever been to a Salmon Bake?
Our local Rotary club hosts a Salmon Bake every year. Along with the fabulously cooked Salmon, you get beans, cole slaw, rolls, soda, and ice cream.
For your listening enjoyment a band is playing great country music.
Don't forget to check out the fire pit with the rows of salmon cooking around it. On cold days it also doubles as a hand warmer. :)
This year the local Boys & Girls Club were on hand to help with the clean up.
A good time was had by everyone!

The whole town is for sale? - 08/15/07 12:03 PM
Is your whole town for sale??
I ask this question as I look at today's NEW listings on our local MLS. There were 30 new listings in the past 24 hours. Pretty good huh? This seems to be pretty average on a daily basis to me. Mind you, I've not made a scientific study out of this. I checked the 1 week numbers and the total NEW listings is 95.
I don't see FOR SALE signs up all over the place. So I wondered why there seems to be a constant influx of NEW listings on the MLS.
Then I remembered doing some expired listings … (3 comments)

Rails to Trails – Olympic Discovery Trail - 08/09/07 05:47 PM
Visit the North Olympic Peninsula and you might hear mention of the Discovery Trail. This is a trail that will ultimately span 120 miles along what was the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, and Pacific Railroad line. When complete, it will span from Port Townsend on the east across to LaPush, on the west.
Pedestrians, bicyclists, and equestrians all enjoy the finished portions that connect Port Angeles to Sequim. Views enjoyed from this stretch range from the Port Angeles Harbor, Strait of Juan De Fuca, Vancouver Island and Mt. Baker (on clear days), and wide stretches of farmland.

The Children are our Future - 08/07/07 05:54 PM
We've heard it many times over. Our children are our future!
This is true in many ways. Today, I was reminded of yet another way this statement is so very true.
Alan, my boss and broker of McHugh REALTORS, has been working with a young family who have relocated here because of a job. This young man and his wife have 3 young daughters. The oldest is 5. They have been in the office many times and Alan has shown the family many properties. As they sit in the conference room putting an offer together, I'm helping out by giving the girls some … (10 comments)
