How Do You Feel? - 06/30/09 04:07 PM
How Do You Feel? How many times a day do you get asked, "How do you feel?" or "How are you?"? I'm sure more than you can count. How do answer the question? Do you tell the person how you really feel? If you do, you need to realize that they really don't care how you feel (unless it is family or really close friend). Remember that this person is merely being polite by asking how you feel. There is no need to ruin your day or their day by putting your bad feelings on them. My favorite answer to … (23 comments)

Achieving Balance in Your Life - 06/27/09 12:17 PM
Pat Kennedy wrote a post yesterday about Balance: It's Just So Elusive! She ask for the opinions of others on how to achieve this balance of work and home life. So, when a friend ask me, I try to help. So, here goes -----
Back in 1976 when I first entered the real estate profession, I was so excited about having the career. I had taught school before my children were born. I had not worked since their births. At this time, they were 10 and 8 and I thought that it was time for Mom to go back to … (28 comments)

Friday Funnies - 06/26/09 03:47 PM
Some men in a pickup truck drove to a lumber yard.
One of the men walked into the office and said, "We need some four-by-twos."
The clerk asked, "You mean two-by-fours, don't you?"
The man said, "I'll go check," and went back to the truck.
He returned shortly and said, "Yeah, I meant two-by-four."
"All right. How long do you need them?"
The customer paused for a moment and said, "I'd better go check."
After a while, he returned to the office and said, - "A long time. We're gonna build a house..."

Governor Sanford - Alive, But Not Well - 06/24/09 03:20 PM
A couple of days ago, JL Boney wrote a post on his blog that his Governor Sanford was missing.
After the news conference today, I felt compelled to follow up on JL's post. The word is that Governor Sanford was indeed missing from SC and from his family on Father's Day. He reportedly said at the news conference today that he had not been hiking in the mountains, but.... he had been to Argentina and that he had been unfaithful to his wife and 4 children.
What? How could he do this to his family? How could he … (19 comments)

The Workings of A United Family
I decided to take a different approach for the video contest.
My first thought was to video the tree farm operation, but never catch the workers on the tractors.
Also, I am a very amateur photographer.
Father's Day was special and I made this video -- it shows a loving family sharing. Hopefully, I won't get kicked out of the contest. Next year, I can do better.

'Put them back, we can't afford them,' demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping.
A few aisles further on along the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.

--Unless the flag is illuminated at night, it should be flown only between sunrise and sunset.
