Are You Believin'........
Sunday night was the last night for the 2008 Olympics and now we are on to something else.  With the last beat of the drums, the last song sang, the Olympic flag was passed off to London and all of the athletes have been able to take their last bow.  It was a great time and one very good venue.
There were lessons that were learned by everyone and they were posted here by several very good writers.  With that being said I would like to leave the Olympic theme with this last thought.  All of the athletes … (32 comments)

Thinking About Selling Your Home BY OWNER?
I was recently discarding some of my old files and came across some dated in 1999.  So I thought that I would reminisce for a short while and go through some of them.  So what did I find that would prompt me  to write a post and to ask the question, "Thinking About Selling Your Home BY OWNER"?   I have known for sometime that we have gone through a wheelbarrow full of changes in the last 10 years but had forgotten most of them, mainly because we have to stay focused on the now … (20 comments)

Lessons Learned From The Olympics - 08/18/08 11:25 PM
Lessons Learned From The 2008 Olympics
I could probably write a dozen blogs about Michael Phelps and all of his accomplishments in the 2008 Olympics and there are many.  He won 8 gold medals, more than any other athlete in the history of the Games.  He set 7 world records in the process and this is all good and worthy.  But what about all of the other athletes, you know those that didn't win or may have won but not achieved the GREATNESS of Michael Phelps.
With about one more week to go in the 2008 Olympic Games I have picked … (71 comments)

Here I am sitting in my easy chair this morning in my jammies posting and reading and commenting like a good little RAIN doobie.  Sipping my coffee and relaxin' before the day starts.  Then I hear this weird sound outside, I'm thinking to myself, wonder what that sound is.  Sooooo, I listen for about 3 or 4 minutes and my curiosity got the best of me and I went to the front door to see what it was.  I will leave the rest for your eyes.

Do you have a DREAM? - 08/12/08 03:36 PM
Do you have a DREAM?
Or better yet have you ever had a dream of the major kind?  Sorta like Olympic proportion size dream?   I bring this up because dreams in life are what will keep us going and help to keep us on track, as long as we don't turn loose of them.  It is when we turn loose of our dreams that we loose sight of where we are going or what we want to do in life and are easily sidetracked.  Depending on what the dream is it can give direction and purpose to our lives too.

ST CHARLES COUNTY MO 2004 VS 2008 REAL ESTATE UPDATE - 08/06/08 09:11 PM
                                                           
ST CHARLES COUNTY, MO 2004 VS 2008 REAL ESTATE UPDATE
 
2004 was the last normal real estate market that St. Charles County MO has seen.       
 
We started the year of 2008 with 13 months of housing inventory; this includes both the residential single family market and the condo/villa market.  As of the end of July 2008, we had 8.5 months of combined inventory. This sounds to me like we are still moving forward, maybe at a snail’s pace; but we are moving in the right direction.
 
Average days on the market in 2004 were 60 … (8 comments)

Home owners beware!  There are, believe it or not, people that do not have your best interests at heart if you are facing possible foreclosure as this article alleges.
