I blogged the other day about how pleased I was with the price of getting my car cleaned, here in Puerto Penasco/Rocky Point. I mentioned that in Phoenix they charged anywhere from $26.000 to $130.000.
I went on to describe how I could get my car cleaned inside and out for only $10.00 here in Rocky Point.
Well I've stumbled on the deal of the century. There's a guy here in town who WILL COME TO YOU and clean your car, inside and out, for that same $10.00.

A Terrible Story - 11/27/08 02:57 PM
KimJBarber@hotmail.com www.RockyPointKim.com 602 334-4359 Re/max Legacy, Puerto Penasco/Rocky Point Mexico
I hope this is the worst story I ever tell about Puerto Penasco/Rocky Point Mexico. It's not a bad reflection on the town, but rather, some American visitors.
It was a very hot day this summer, around 120 degrees F. I went out to my vehicle to go to an appointment. As I approached my vehicle, I noticed a pair of kittens in my wheel well, on top of my tire.
I needed to lure the kittens out, in order to drive without hurting them. I filled a … (0 comments)

Fish Yum! - 11/26/08 08:49 AM
KimJBarber@hotmail.com www.RockyPointKim.com Puerto Penasco/Rocky Point Mexico 602 334-4359
As a child, growing up in the bread basket, fish was a meal I rarely encountered, when I did, it was usually served in the form of a tuna fish sandwich.
This result was that I never acquired a taste for fish, in fact I found it slightly offensive. What a wonderful treat to learn, albeit later in life, that fish can be delicious!
I had the good fortune to taste another diner's fish at the Black Dog, before I ordered my own meal. That one bite was so tasty I … (0 comments)

How to Read a Tide Calendar - 11/25/08 11:20 AM
How to Read a Tide Calendar - Kim Barber, Rocky Point/Puerto Penasco Re/Max
If you visit a place with a tide and look in the back of nearly any magazine directed at tourists, you're likely to see a tide calendar. Since moving to Rocky Point/Puerto Penasco, I've seen probably a dozen. They are useful if you're planning a hike or a picnic, a seaside event like a wedding or if you're planning to do some boating. But they all seem to share one annoying trait - no legend.
Many visitors to oceanside locations originate from more landlocked areas, and not … (0 comments)

It's Cheaper in Mexico - Car Cleaning - 11/22/08 12:55 PM
It's Cheaper in Mexico - Kim Barber Puerto Penasco/Rocky Point Re/max
I recently, again, had my car in to be cleaned. It cost me just under $10.000. The wash and waxed the outside by one of those drive through machines, then they decended upon the inside. They wiped and vacuumed and perfumed. When they were done it was pristine.
Ten dollars. Hmmmmm. Seemed pretty low to me. So I got on the phone and called around Phoenix to see what was the going rate for a thorough vehicle cleaning. I found prices from $24.00 all the way up to … (0 comments)

Don't Be a Secret Agent - 11/22/08 12:36 PM
Don't Be a Secret Agent - Kim Barber Puerto Penasco/Rocky Point Mexico RE/MAX
Being somewhat new to real estate, I was a bit reluctant about getting my face out there. I can't explain it exactly, but it's related to the belief that I think I'm not very photogenic.
Then I heard a couple of things that changed my whole perspective. As to having my face on cards and the side of my vehicle, someone pointed out that movie stars are constantly bombarded by people who think they know them. Ask any movie star, I'm sure they'll back me up … (0 comments)

Biker Rally Chili Cook Off for Charity - 11/20/08 12:55 AM
Biker Rally Chili Cook Off for Charity - Kim Barber, Puerto Penasco/Rocky Point Re/max
What a great idea, a cook-off for Charity. Recently some of us Realtors in Puerto Penasco/Rocky Point did just that.
We were lucky to be having a bike rally at the right time, and we were able to hold the chili cook off as part of the festivities.
Contestants provided the chili, and paid an entry fee, the winners were awarded cash prizes and trophies, and we sold the chili with hot dogs. Profits to go toward a Christmas party for the families of … (0 comments)

Members of Puerto Penasco/Rocky Point's real estate community (AMPI) will be sponsoring a Christmas party for the families of the men at CIDA. And RE/MAX will be a donation collection area.
Many of these people have nearly nothing, so we can use nearly anything. Turkeys, clothes, toys, gift items - gently used is fine - except for the turkeys. Cash is always welcome, even if it's well worn.
Please drop by RE/MAX on Freemont with your donations. Thank-you.

My Daughter's Boyfriend is Buying a House - What does that say about him? - 11/11/08 11:05 PM
My daughter is dating a boy she met in college. I'm just getting to know him. I decided today that I like him, in part due to the fact that he's buying a house.
I think the decision to buy a house at such a young age (20) says a lot about the sort of person he is. It reflects many desirable personal qualities. He's willing to work hard - he's paid for school and managed to save, that takes hard work and commitment. He is a planner - he's passing classes, working, saving, involved in the community, that … (0 comments)

How to Paint a REALLY Crisp Line - 11/11/08 09:47 PM
Kim Barber Puerto Penasco/Rocky Point Mexico Re/Max 602 334-4359
Many of us are involved in real estate because we really love houses. We get off on unique architecture and clever design. Many of us also get involved in fixing and or flipping.
One thing I noticed on those home improvement shows is that they often pan past the edges of paint jobs. If you look closely, if you have a chance, you might notice that the lines aren't crisp. They may be wobbly or bleeding or both.
These inferior jobs can make the difference between something that looks polished … (0 comments)

How do they Learn This? - 11/11/08 06:35 PM
Kim Barber Puerto Penasco/Rcoky Point Mexico RE/MAX 602 334-4359
I recently had the pleasure of attending the 8th annual Bike Rally in Rocky Point/Puerto Penasco Mexico, this last weekend. What a blast, music, dancing, fireworks, chili contest and good vibes were the order of the day. Among the highlights were the bike jumps.
These were held on Freemont Street, in front of the Black Dog Cantina. Riders and dreamers alike gathered to marvel at the spectacle. The riders were in their early 20's. How does someone actually learn to do this? Trying and failing has to hurt. Luckily failure … (0 comments)

Enjoying the Wildlife in Rocky Point Mexico - 11/11/08 06:14 PM

I've only lately come to really appreciate the Pelican. It seems they're often presented in a somewhat ungainly light. They're a bit awkward on land, true, but in their element, they're perfect.
If you've ever seen a group of them flying, you'll see they travel with the precision of a flock of Canadian Geese. When they circle to fish, they move with a choreographed symmetry that would rival a synchronized swimming team. And they dive with the bold confidence of winning NASCAR drivers.
On the beaches … (0 comments)

Change, the inevitable future - 11/06/08 01:52 PM
Well we, here in Rocky Point have sure been hearing a lot lately about some big development about to happen. Wal-mart and Home Depot seem to be planning some stores here. The intercoastal highway is nearly complete. The airport has begun receiving flights. And now Holland America and Carnival Cruise Lines are talking about originating cruises from here.
Top that up with a couple of new planned golf courses and you have a whole lot of change.
This anticipated change has created some controversy. Some are looking forward anxiously to the growth and the opportunities it will provide. … (0 comments)

Thanksgiving,Turkey,holidays - 11/04/08 09:35 AM
Seems like almost every holiday bothers someone.
In recent years Christmas has been subject to the "Happy Holidays" vs "Merry Christmas" debate. Easter has been commercialized with bunnies and chicks. Halloween has been equated to devil worship. Columbus represented the beginning of the end for many Native North Americans.
It seems to me that Thanksgiving is one of the very few holidays we should all be able to agree on. I've never heard of a church that would oppose giving thanks. Nor have I met a person who does not have at least something to be thankful for. … (0 comments)

Holidays are a Great Time to Raise Money - 11/03/08 08:47 AM
Since my kids are grown and I don't live in a neighborhood with children, I've kind of moved past celebrating Halloween. This year was different. I actually found myself out in public, looking very much like a pile of seaweed.
This year we capitalized on the Halloween party spirit to benefit others at Christmas. A local bar, the Black Dog, hosted a Halloween event, complete with piñata and prizes for the best costumes. The owner, Vicki, is a community minded individual, and was gracious enough to allow us to set up at the door and ask patrons for donations … (0 comments)
