Wisdom, Her Thuggish Brother Pain, and my Mistress - 09/21/10 11:23 AM
We got the call at 6:37am to "come quickly." Instantly, I knew it was my mother in law, calling about Debbie's Dad, and something urgent about his lengthy fight with cancer.  The next hour was spent canceling appointments, trying desperately to tie down loose ends and rocket out the door to the DFW metroplex.  I had some stuff that had to be dropped at my office, and was praying that this errand would not be the difference between getting there in time or not.  Thankfully, we got there in time.  Plenty of time, in fact, for me to sit at the feet … (5 comments)

RX for End-Of-The-Month Madness - 09/20/10 10:14 AM
It's nearing the end of the month and for many Realtors the madness will begin.  Most closings seems to happen in the last few days of the month for those trying to bring as little to the closing table as possible.  Then, with loans getting more difficult to get approved and on time for those end-of-the-month closings, Realtors are having to pull out all the stops to make sure the deal gets done.  If only Fifi could have been there for some of my deals... 
In the early days of my real estate career there were many times I wanted to commit sideways (a kinder, … (0 comments)

"The 10 American Industries That May Never Recover"--You're One of Them...Or Are You? - 09/16/10 11:10 AM
Douglas A. McIntyre of the Wall Street 24/7 wrote an article that was published on the start page for Yahoo this morning.  The above headline caught my eye...so I quickly scanned down to see who those industries were and was surprised to see my own profession.  Seeing, construction, cars, newspapers and airlines was not a huge revelation...but Realtors was.  Take a look at the paragraph below from this article:

9. Realtors. The National Association of Realtors reports that there were 1,370,758 Realtors in October 2006 -- the peak of the market. By the end of 2007, the figure was below … (9 comments)

Get A Grip!--What Are Your Squiggly Thingy's Holding On To? - 09/14/10 11:13 AM
I like to call them squiggly thingy's...but after careful research I found out that those little curly q's on my cucumbers plants are called "tendrils".  Whatever you want to call them...I am fascinated with their quirky personalities and determination to be at the top of the trellis.  I do realize that cucumber plants do not have souls...but even so...watching them has spoken to my soul.
Many of you have watched the progress of my garden and have seen my cucumber plants grow from seeds to what they are today.  The moment they begin to vine out they will start looking for something … (6 comments)

May the only cracks you see be on your plumber... - 09/09/10 11:21 AM
Well...it's been a long time comin...but I finally succeeded in making my first "crack-less" cheesecake. For those of you that have made cheesecakes...ya'll know that it's nearly impossible to get it NOT to crack after it comes out of the oven...  I now know the reason why you see toppings on cheesecakes.  More than likely, it's to hide the grand-canyon-crack somewhere in the top of the cake.  Well...not this Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake...it's crack-less and she's a beauty. 
So, you have to be asking yourself..."how in the world did she do it???"  Good question and one that I have asked dozens of women but could … (4 comments)

Local Boerne, TX Puppy Makes Good--Chosen to Act In Heart Warming Movie--"Cooper" - 09/04/10 12:21 PM

Call it the "perfect storm" or just fate...but two weeks ago Bell Domino Marble's parents, Claire and Larry, were called to see if Bell would be willing to play the younger version of a dog named Cooper in a production being shot in San Antonio.  The producers of the film had got a picture of Bell from Catherine Laria, border collie trainer and owner of K9 Country Club.  They had originally called her to see if she had a puppy that would fit the part.  She didn't...but remembered that Claire and Larry Marble had just got a border collie puppy … (3 comments)

Nice buns in 40 minutes! - 09/01/10 04:47 PM
Ohhhhhhhhh if that were only true of my personal buns...but what I am talking about is a great new recipe I found for hamburger buns...ones that can be in your mouth in 40 minutes!  My husband had made a hamburger bun request earlier this week and I thought..."Really???  Do people do that?"  I was trying to imagine how that would shake out...  Was it a glorified yeast roll?  Was it going to take extra time?  Was it worth the trouble???
On one of my sleepless nites, I googled hamburger bun recipes and came up with pages of possibilities...but stopped dead in my … (8 comments)

If you sit at work dreaming and thinking there's gotta me more than concrete sidewalks and this face paced life...then maybe it's time you find yourself again and start living the simplicity of the "rural lifestyle".

I have been a licensed Realtor for nearly 18 years with experience in new home construction, (both production and custom), log homes, and helping folks live the rural lifestyle. It would be my extreme pleasure to help you realize your dream.
