Fun with Relocation Buyers! - 03/31/11 11:15 PM
There is no need to put a KINK in your life just because you have to move out of state!

Spring in Denver is Right Around the Corner - 03/03/11 09:38 AM
Denver is known for being a snowy cold City in the winter months, but this just isn't so. The East Coast and even Utah has had a much more snow this winter. This is all that was left of our snow, as we have not had any for a couple weeks. I had to look hard, and found some on the North side of my house in the shade!
The weather has been so nice for the last couple of weeks getting into the mid and upper 60's, so our foliage is believing spring is right around the corner!
