From Keep it Real in Sacramento - February 7, 2008 

Even in a slow downward pointing real estate market like we have here in the Sacramento area you still experience the normal seasonal ups and downs.  Just from what we have going on at MagnumOne Realty and the way my phone has been ringing the past few days I can tell we are starting to see a surge of activity.  This is exactly what you would expect.  We are through the long winter month of January and as we move rapidly through February people are starting to think about spring and making moves they have been thinking about since late last fall.

It feels good, it always feels good after a long stretch of winter rain and the sun comes out to shine and warm the day.  I enjoy working with energized people and this is always the time of year when most of us have that feeling of wanting to get things done.  Who knows I even started thinking about cleaning out a few cabinets this week.  Maybe next week it will be my closet project or even getting my husband, Michael, out in the garage to finally clean it out like he promised.  It is still early but I feel a sever attack of "spring fever" coming.

 Speaking of doing things, Michael's daughter and her husband, Kevyn and Dave, were here visiting us from their home in Homer, Alaska and are now doing their annual trip.  This year it is back to South America and Peru as the main destination.  They left on Monday and we got word from them that they had arrived in Lima after a very long and uneventful flight.  They are not great enthusiasts for big cities and from the sounds of the last email, Lima was not their "cup-of-tea" so they have already headed further south to Arequipa. Peru.  I think this is a mountainous region and has a beautiful canyon area.  I know some of you enjoyed reading their travel blog last year when they were in Argentina so here is the link to this year's version, "Why can't you think of a title."

For my Photography Group - I know Kevyn will be posting some interesting photos!

I left a comment on your new blog... I don't see it... it must be in moderation.

Julie left this on a post on my blog ,,,, which is OK too but I am transplanting it back here as well (leaving it on my blog too.)

Hi Maureen - I really hated to move my blog off of the main site, www.jalone.com, but having a blog on a true blog platform really has it's advantages (I now just need to spend time understanding the full capabilites of wordpress!) and it makes posting so much easier.  I do my posts on MS Word and just click on publish....all done, photos and all. 

Thanks for stopping by, "Keep it Real in Sacramento," Julie Jalone

I am going to have to look at the source code etc. for your old blog to understand it.... why it would not be better to have it on your website.  I have mine on my website in an iframe just for people to read....I know it doesn't really halp my website but I feel like people can read it.  They may get hooked.

I am using the same WP.org theme you are... I have made little progress in 13 months on my WP.org blog. it is really over my head technically.

Doing a post on MS Word, don't you get formatting ickies?  I thought you weren't supposed to use MS word on blogs.
