 Fun news for you pet lovers out there!  Finally an event that puts our little town of Chilliwack on the Map!On St. Patrick's Day, a Chilliwack standard poodle called "Charlie" whelped a record brood:  16 puppies!

Charlie, whose name comes from the TV show Charlie's Angels began the birthing process on St. Patricks Day....although reportedly none of the puppies came out green!
For the owner, Charlie's more then a poodle, some would call her a 'cash cow'...as purebread puppies sell for $1200 each!
Canadian Kennel Club Spokesman confirmed that 16 puppies is a Canadian record for poodles, and there's a good … (20 comments)

If I had a Million Dollars....I'd Buy........? - 03/28/08 11:03 PM
Remember the song.....?.If Ihad a Million Dollars. Just a few years ago.....$1,000,000 seemed like a phenomenal amount of money....I mean it still is ..but certainly not even in the realm of what it used to me........To be a 'millionaire' used to be a rarity.......almost out of reach...and as kids I remember on our more boring playdays dreaming up the answers to that question. Well yesterday I heard the song on the radio again....I'm talking the Bare Naked Ladies Version... .
But the part of the jingle that stuck in my mind - was the........If I had a million dollars.........I would " … (29 comments)

Listen to the Falling (Active) Rain....Listen to it Pour! - 03/26/08 07:32 PM
It was a combination of the days and days of pouring rain we've been having.......a weekend of pouring through the 'active rain ' blogs............that brought to mind.......Jose Feliciano old song.........Listen to the Falling Rain..........for some 'real newbies',....you probably won't even know who Jose is...........but I checked out the video on YouTube.........and was immersed.........(or submerged.:-) in nostalgia............
Plus I've decided to add Utube on Active Rain as part of my learning curve...........so lets see it this works.....Hope you enjoy!</p> If you or someone you know is thinking of Buying or Selling property in Chilliwack, Hope, Abbotsford, Langley or anywhere in the Fraser Valley … (16 comments)

If the Shoe Fits Wear it! Whats Your Favorite Easter Story? - 03/24/08 01:37 PM
 
Its Easter morning and I'm lying in bed.......its sooo quiet you could hear a pin drop........I don't hear any giggling, the rustle of little feet, squeals of delight.......This is my first Easter where I have no kids at home. - two have moved out and one is with her dad....and even at that the youngest is16.
Memories of Easter past...are floating through my mind. Its funny the things you remember...........One of my favourite memories is an Easter Sunday about 13 years ago.
The night before, I played Easter bunny and hid little chocolates and treats around the house. We had … (8 comments)

Mindblogging! - 03/21/08 05:54 PM
I joined Active Rain a week ago today...It's been an amazing experience and very addictive! I realize how little my world is when I limit myself  to my small community and local real estate.  The available resources, helpful hints, combined/exponential experience that's available through ActiveRain is MindBlogging!
 
 
As a Canadian, I have always had a fascination with just about anything American........the border is a 30 min drive from my Community  of Chilliwack - with the neighbouring American towns being  Lynden, Sumas,  and Bellingham, Washington .
Politically, I've been mesmerized by the Democratic Primaries........ I've always been profoundly aware of … (2 comments)

The Number One Thing That Will Drive Me to Succeed is to Tell Me I Can't Do Something! - 03/21/08 04:12 PM
The number one thing that will drive me to succeed is to tell me that I can't do something!  I remember, 20 years ago...I was 31 years old teetering....
 
                               
on the brink of a disintegrating marriage with two toddlers, 14 month and 3 years old.  I was in the midst of taking my Real Estate exam, when my husband and I separated.  We had just moved into a new town - where I had no family and no friends...yet... There were challenges   emotional and financial ort.....and certainly from a Real Estate perspective I had "no Circle of Influence" to … (13 comments)

Beautiful , Bountiful Chilliwack - British Columbia - 03/19/08 01:36 AM
The  Beauty of Chilliwack 

 
Chilliwack, British Columbia
"Chilliwack" is the name of the local Indian tribe and also of various geographical features. This Halkomelem word has the sense of "quieter water on the head" or "travel by way of backwater slough". The original spelling was "Chilliwhack". This "city in the country" is becoming well-known as the "city of festivals". There are year round performances of live theater, music and dance, while sports tournaments draw curling, hockey, softball and soccer fans. There is even chuck wagon racing and equestrian events for country-style entertainment. But for many, the out-of-doors … (3 comments)

20 years later - Why did I become a Realtor? - 03/18/08 05:23 AM
My 16 year old daughter asked me the other day why I became a Realtor. The discussion on the table had to do with her choices post grad - trade school- college- university- what would it be?  Well I
definitely feel there are benefits to all - however my preference would be university....University forever?  Not necessarily.............She said she couldn't justify the expense because she wasn't sure what she wanted to study.........As a matter of fact she pointed at me..... YOU went to university....so what are you doing Now as a Realtor...??.....I mean we all know you don't need a degree to practice Real … (9 comments)

Did we Get Smart or What? - 03/16/08 02:38 AM
My feet are killing me and my phone battery is dead... 15 houses down 3 to go...! Images of Get Smart flash through my mind ....Now if I could take my HEELS off and dial......wouldn't that be a stress saver?  Now in these heels, I could probably fit my phone, computer, printer and some lunch!
