The snow totals vary across the City, but the foothills are racking it up!   Near Central City tops it with nearly FOUR FEET.   Here is a photo from Black Hawk - WOW!  Denver International Airport hasn't gotten as much as the south part of town.   Some of southern parts have two feet right now.   I have about 13.5".   My HOA pays for snow shoveling, and got 7 cups of hot chocolate out for those boys!  Parts in Southern Denver have two feet!Here's another photo from Evergreen -  news said they got 30+ inches so far!With this wet and heavy snow is bringing down some power lines, so there are 50,000+ homes without power right now.    There are many crews out to get power back on again.It isn't that cold - about 30-35 degrees, so now the snow on the streets is turning to slush, and will ice...

I've got a couple of redemption codes (10 to be exact) to give away for my audiobook — I'd love to give them to you guys but there's a small caveat...It's redeemable through a Spotify link (not sponsored)...... so you'd have to be using Spotify to take full advantage. But other than that, it's the full audiobook, absolutely free. That's it. Comment below if you'd like a code!And please let me know what you think about it after you give it a listen. I'd love to get feedback.

A bus coming from Ski area is not going anywhere, I-70 was shut down from Silverthorne to Golden and so many people sleeping in their cars.  The bus has 50 females on it and they slept on the bus and it been since 4 yesterday afternoon.My granddaughter was flying back to college in Steamboat Springs yesterday and plane could not land because of fog and ended up in Denver so I pick her up and she is spending at least two day with us.  I am all for it.  DIA airport has 850 cancel flights so far and 37 delayed.  I been out with my snow blower and did my driveway and two neighbors and walks.  I still have a couple to do later.  We are to get another 12 inches yet today.  I had 8 inches at my house so far.

When most people think of being or getting healthy the image of gyms and perfect bodies come to mind but very few people actually do go to the gym and very few people look like Venus or Adonis yet they can be healthy in what ever body they are in.My body still looks pretty good but I've had two or three heart attacks, been diagnosed as having sever osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis, as well as having back issues since I was a teenager. That being said I feel pretty healthy aside from the pain of my recently torn rotatory cuff.How can that be?I feel good mentally and spiritually. One key to that is listening to my bodies needs and at the top of the list is getting enough rest to let my body heal and deal with all the issues of aging and past abuse.Do I rest more then I want to... hell yes...

Look closely into my PIs, Relax, breathe deeply, and relax...lolToday is National PI Day. So what is PI? (I looked it up)Pi (symbol: π) is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. In simpler terms, it's the number you get by dividing a circle's roundness (its circumference) by its width (its diameter).While pi is an irrational number, meaning its decimal representation never ends and never repeats, we often use the approximation 3.14159.It's like a never-ending story...lol

I LOVE Pi-day!!!!!!!! So instead of endless (HA HA) posts I'm loading you up on Pi day puns in one post..... Why should you never talk to pi at a party? Because it’ll go on forever. Why shouldn’t you eat too much pi? You’ll end up with a big circumference If March 14 was really Pi Day, it would never end.How did critics rate Life of Pi? 3.14 stars.What do you get when you divide the circumference of the sun by its diameter? Pi in the sky. What’s wrong with the equation 'pi r squared?' Pi are round. Cake are square. Why didn’t pi get its driver’s license? Because it didn’t know when to stop. What was Sir Issac Newton’s favorite dessert? Apple pi.Simple as 3.1415926… Can you recite pi? Apple, peach, blueberry, pumpkin, pecan… Why was the math book sad on Pi Day? It had too many problems. ...

Pizza pie, tomato pie (A Trenton NJ version of pizza),  Blueberry pie, apple pie,  you name it, whenever I wanted it, I ate it. Today, not so much.  With a nearly 2 year old grandchild that I love to pieces (Oliver), and some health scares (to put it mildly) since Oct. '22, I dropped 70 lbs.   Simply put, I want to be around to watch my Ollie grow up.  How did Iose 70 lbs?  No meds, no injections, no surgeries. How?  Determination.  Clean eating and routine visits to Planet Fitness in Burlington, NJ.  On a separate note,  while I'm not bad at math (I hate algebra), I never got the fascination with 3.14XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.    Have a great day. This post is all over the place.   Sorry.  Happy Pi Day.     Michael Elliott michaelelliott.fathomrealty.com Full time, award winning service sinc...

Wordless Wednesdays:    life in a boring Pet friendly Realtor's Home in Los Angeles, CA. 90045Well, when Diane is at work in her office, (once a week and not working from home), you can see what the animals are doing in the house. Well as you can see, the sleeping photos are an indication that I am the only one at home working from home and clearly, I am boring just focusing on client calls and emails.Then when our pet's internal Rolexes start to work, it wakes them up. They know it is that time, well to clarify it, they know she is on her way home.See for yourself I am not make this up:)) Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

That's Pizza Pie Day, to you!  yeah, I'm talking to you!Now, I'm a Chicago boy.  Well, it's been a few years since I've been considered a boy, I'm really a Chicago man.  Well, my ex-wife says that I'm can't even be considered... uh.... you know, let's not get into that... I live in the Windy City.  And here in the City of Wind we are pretty proud of our Pizza.  But don't try to fold our pizza.  It will get really, really messy.  In Chicago we love our deep-dish pizza.It's not a snack, it's a meal.  And it can't be eaten on the run, with one hand, while in the car.  You need to sit down, with a knife and fork and give it some time and attention.  It's at least a couple of inches deep, and a proper pie is at least 12 inches across.  Filled with all sorts of wonderful ingredients that tota...

How are you with prioritizing nutrition? For me, it is not the easiest. I love taking care of my body and always strive to be healthy.  But being a realtor demands a delicate balancing act between the demanding nature of the profession and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  Juggling between property showings, client meetings, and paperwork often leaves little time for personal well-being, particularly when it comes to meals.  In the realm of real estate, where schedules can be unpredictable, finding time to prepare healthy meals amidst busy routines can feel tough.  Quick, easy recipes and meal prepping with things like this Healthy Costco Shopping List are what I rely on.  I also like to keep a stash of healthy snacks for moms in my purse for when I am out and about..  Efficiency become...

Even with a mild winter like the one we are experiencing we start hoping for Spring around this time of year. Pets often help us make it through the winter as we see less humans during those really frigged days/weeks and months. But what our our furry friends thinking?I would bet that Timmothy's cartoon guinea pigs want spring so they can get out and eat some fresh grass. I'm sure my dog, Baby, wants to go on more walks then I am willing to take her on during the harsh winter. What do cats want... god only knows but maybe they want to get out and look for mice and small birds.I myself am looking forward to walking Baby and not having to wear 3 or 4 layers of clothing or boots that weigh 5 pounds each.

On this quintessentially sunny and balmy 70-degree morning in San Diego, the atmosphere was positively enchanting, fitting for America's Finest City. As I eased my car into the parking lot of the Mission Valley strip mall, I felt a sense of delight wash over me. Stepping out of my vehicle, I strolled toward the Nothing Bundt Cakes store, a cherished haven for procuring delightful treats for my esteemed clients.Entering the store was akin to stepping into a whimsical wonderland. Every corner was adorned with vibrant hues of blues, pinks, and greens, evoking a sense of childlike joy. The air was thick with the intoxicating scent of freshly baked cakes and confections, instantly lifting my spirits. Before me stretched expansive display counters, adorned with an array of delectable treats i...

It was a Flowerful Day in Carlsbad Sunday was a very flowerful day for us in Carlsbad. We wanted to stop in at our favorite local nursery, Armstrong Garden Center, to check out the flowers and buy a few things for the patio. But first we stopped off on Armada Drive to check out the Carlsbad Flower Fields below...a favorite of mine! The Flower Fields opened to the public on March 1 and while not yet in peak bloom they were beautiful to see. It wasn’t the prettiest day but with our SoCal weather even the not-so-pretty days are still kinda nice overall. We can’t complain!  The fields were pretty crowded and we enjoyed a few minutes taking in all the brilliant colors and the ocean in the distance. It’s a great vantage point because of the panoramic view you get. And it’s FREE! Such a deligh...
