hoodsport: Crazy erics Belfair ! Sign of the times closes. - 09/20/11 02:37 PM
Its a sad to to see this place close, we will miss this great place to hang out.
The food that my family and I have received there has always been very tasty ( somewhat greasy at times, but hey – that’s part of the charm). The french fries are the best (I love the natural skins on and floppiness of them). The onion rings are hand dipped and we love them as well. And the milkshakes are made from hand-dipped ice cream the old-fashioned way.
Your flavor in town will be missed.
Thanks for the time you were here!

In the moments of Sunday sales, I had this car drive into the parking lot, for no other reason than just good old classic fun, I wanted to share this picture.
Many times over the sales drives me to get another classic, if you have a favorite send me a picture.
Or if you have another love send it with your thoughts.
Have a great 2nd quarter end!

hoodsport: Spring cleaning befor you list your home - 05/23/11 03:19 PM
Putting your house on the market? Before the "For Sale" sign goes up, give your property the ultimate spring cleaning. When it comes to showcasing your home for sale, there's no such thing as a house that's too clean. Here's what I recomend as an expert you do to clean before holding an open house. Prior to your first open house, review each room for grime and clutter, including the garage, basement or attic, as there are multiple steps to a polished look.

INFO THAT HITS US WHERE WE LIVE...We should be especially careful to not erect barriers to our progress just because of a minor setback, like the one we had with last week's Pending Home Sales. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) index of signed contracts on existing homes slipped in January for the second month in a row. But the drop wasn't as bad as expected and, as the NAR's chief economist said: "We should not expect the recovery to be in a straight upward path--it will zig-zag at times."The latest NAR overall forecast gave an interesting picture of that recovery. … (0 comments)
