The Economy is Bad??? - St. Peters, Missouri

Fri, 01 May 2009 18:32:21 -0500

Is the economy bad? You wouldn't know it in St. Peters, Missouri.

There are actually people camped out (in the rain) at a new subdivision being built by McBride & Sons Homes. The subdivision is called "The Meadows of Bellemeade", and there is a special going on for the first 20 people who buy:

They will receive an extra $10,000 off of an already reduced price and the first choice of lots!

These people are actually spending the night, because the special doesn't start until tomorrow (Saturday, 5/2/09)!

It looks like all is well in St. Peters, Missouri! :)

Relaxing Deer in Grant's Farm - St. Louis, Missouri

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 18:04:14 -0500

I was driving by Grant's Farm in St. Louis, Missouri, the other day while showing homes. My husband said, "Look at the deer!"

I looked to the left, and sure enough, there was a whole herd of deer just lying down and relaxing under the trees...So cuute!! This is not a picture of them, but it reminded me of them:

If you want to learn more about Grant's Farm, just go to www.GrantsFarm.com, for more information. :)!

Obama in Arnold, Missouri

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 17:47:16 -0500

President Obama was in Arnold, Missouri today. He talked awhile at the Fox Senior High School this morning. Why did he go there on his 100th day in office?

Well, I'm not exactly sure why the city of Arnold was chosen, but The White House said that Missouri was chosen because the families and workers in this state have felt the impact of the economy as much as anyone.

He was said to discuss his first 100 days in office and take questions about the administration's agenda.

The Grass is Always Greener... Wright City, Missouri

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 15:31:11 -0500

The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side of the Fence, right? This phrase was so clear to me when I got to the barn in Wright City, MO, to see my horse Sierra this morning:

This is not my horse (I wish I had my camera.), but this is what she looked like when I arrived. Her head was stuck and she couldn't figure out how to get out.

Poor thing...She was standing quietly, resigning herself to her fate...My twin sister (Diane) & I got her unstuck, and she was very happy!

I hope she learned her lesson and doesn't try this again... :)

When Did We Grow Old...?

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 19:49:07 -0500

I know that my husband & I are getting older...I know, because my kids are getting older...They no longer fight and bicker with each other...They actually like each other! :)

I also know we're getting older because our hair is getting grayer, and we have little aches and pains that we didn't use to have...

I knew that we were getting older, but I didn't know that we were old. How do I know that we're old?

Well, I found out today when I looked at the receipt from Long John Silvers (My husband went there for lunch.). On the receipt it said:

"Senior Discount - $1.20"!!!

When did we grow old??? :)

It Never Fails...

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 15:28:57 -0500

I've read many posts about realtors going on vacation and getting inundated with phone calls while they are gone, even if they were slow before they left.

I must say that this seems to happen to me, too. I haven't been on a vacation in awhile (a loong while), but I've noticed that if I travel outside my cell phone's range (for just a couple of hours), I inevitably have a message from a potential client waiting for me on my voice mail - Even if I've been slow for days!

I don't understand it, and I'm not complaining, I just find it interesting...

I think I need to go on vacation more often... :)
