Wow!   We're in the middle of a "pineapple express" storm, here.   
It's almost noon, and everyone has their lights on, driving...so glad I put up my fibre optic tree and a string of Xmas lights, at the office...helps cheer up the glooming grey.   
A pineapple express is our term for the … (2 comments)

New friends....no, not the two footed kind (although those are always welcome!).  
For several years, now, I've been the caregiver for a handicapped relative.    They have finally had to leave assisted living, where they were able to be in their own space, and go into a care facility.    Big changes, and … (9 comments)

Holiday decorations and lighting are starting to show up in my area.   
No shopping malls where I live, so it's up to the individual retail merchants to do the decorating.

at sea to sky premier properties salt spring: Transition times...a little of this/a little of that... - 11/13/09 06:58 PM
In a transition time, there is "everything" occurring.   
Difficult to sort out the trend, then, when there's a whirling cloud that spits rain, sometimes, and other times parts to let in some rays of sunshine.    
I read in media reports on real estate, in my larger region, that it's the best … (3 comments)

at sea to sky premier properties salt spring: Thoughts, as year draws to a close.... - 11/10/09 05:12 PM
There's something about the shortening days, with light disappearing by 4:30 p.m., in just a couple of weeks time, as we march to the shortest day of the year, that makes one ponder the recent past.
So many changes were thrust on everyone, it seems, in a span of about 15 … (6 comments)

November 8, 2009. This coming Wednesday is the November 11th recognition of those who have served their country, in the military, who went to war when it was required, and in many cases, did not return.

at sea to sky premier properties salt spring: Slow return to seller's market conditions? Depends on low inventory levels/fear of cash becoming the next bubble? - 11/05/09 11:09 AM
November 5, 2009. It remains oddly busy, for the time of year! July and August were very "flat", and tourism involved mainly daytrippers out of Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, according to the Chamber's tourist count. Although Vancouver reported bidding wars, and diminished inventory, this did not happen in Victoria or … (2 comments)

at sea to sky premier properties salt spring: Deflation? Inflation? Who has the crystal ball? - 11/03/09 12:26 PM
Throughout Canada's main cities, there has been an upsurge in sales action, year to date, in what I would term "low end residential" -- in other words, property that would be in the realm of a first time buyer, attracted by low interest rates, and also by an investor (looking for … (0 comments)

at sea to sky premier properties salt spring: November market thoughts...for Salt Spring Island & Southern Gulf Islands.... - 11/01/09 12:36 PM
November, 2009. Although the calendar says that Winter officially begins on December 20th, most of us would agree that it's "here", already! In the last weeks of the year, one tends to look both back and also forward. The meltdowns that characterized most of 2008, unleashing economic duress and fear, folded … (2 comments)
