It’s been a busy November and December up here near Red Feather Lakes:

We had the monstrous wind storm in November and about twenty inches of snow so far.

 

The Greening of Red Feather weekend brought frigid temperatures and some icy roads so there’s been plowing and sanding by the folks who do those things to keep Red Feather and Livermore residents plus our many visitors moving right along.  They are some of my favorite people, I have to say- they do a great job on our roads.

 

The Christmas Tree cutting in the Forest and at Beaver Meadows is in full swing and nearly every car going down the hill on the weekend has a tree on the top of their car or in the bed of their truck!

 

And I’ve been busy selling houses!

One in Crystal Lakes, One in the Village of Red Feather and Another in Glacier View Meadows!

 

In fact, 6 home sales have already closed in December and 9 more sales are pending.

The Forks Restaurant is scheduled to re-open in February and rumors are flying that the Pot Belly will soon be open too!

It may be peaceful and quiet up here. 

You may not hear a sound but there is a lot going on!

Thankful to be here and thankful that I could be a part of helping these buyers find their new homes. Please let me know how I can help you!

Hi Lee and Carol, I guess you're right- not soooooo quiet! :-) but you live in the mountains and you know what I mean.  Thank you, nice to see you again.

Thank you Jennifer, it was my pleasure to help them.  I hope you have a wonderful week too and get to feeling better!

Hi Sharon, I hope the real estate activity will continue through the winter for our area, too.   I'm sure we can find you a summer only home when the time is right. <smiling>  Thank you & Happy Holidays my friend!

Shirley, it has been a great December- the good months make up for the not so good ones!  Thanks Shirley, I wish you well in 2012 too!

Hi Suzanne, well you are right about that, they do.  Our office is still busy so that's nice to see this time of year.  I'm glad you stopped in, thanks Suzanne.

Thank you Dorie! ' Looking forward to 2012 and I know we will have a great year (even in spite of those occasional lender roadblocks)  :-]  I know one particular lender who's going on the naughty list!

Hi Tammy, I think I know what you mean and my friends at the title companies said many are like that!  We have Douglas fir, spruce, ponderosa pine, lodgepole and white pine mostly.  Thanks for asking Tammy, what kind of trees do you have in Georgia?

No wonder I haven't heard much from you lately, Mary. You've been selling up a storm in Red Feather Lakes! Hey, I will probably be coming to Colorado next summer. There is going to be reunion in Nederland on July 21 for those of us who lived there in the 1970s.

Elizabeth, that is so exciting- I thought maybe the re-union would correspond with "Frozen Dead Guy Day", but I see that's in March.  Thanks for letting me know, when you do come, lets get together!

 

Hey Kristi,  thanks- it did not seem slow which was a nice change!

Hi Melissa, Hope you have warmed up a bit- 45 is COLD, in California...I remember being in San Francisco when it was 60 degrees and I was freezing.  It's been beautiful here lately- still snow on the ground but bright blue skies and lots of sunshine. Thanks for stopping in- have a great Holiday, Melissa!

Hi Ann,  Thanks, I was surprised by the "late in the year" activity- things are looking up!  and good for you showing houses 3 days in row!!?? Hope you are done with your shopping! :-)  I'm going today.

Hi Myrl, I agree, even small flurries of activity are encouraging.  It's nice to see and report a positive in the market!  Thanks Myrl,  have a great Holiday!

I hope you had some holiday time off and fun.  The only types of Christmas trees we grow here are cedar (which are okay) and pine (which are icky for Christmas trees).  I grew up having cedar, but have purchased a fir the last few years at a cut somewhere/shipped here place.
