Have You Heard the One About the Nun's vs. Katy Perry
This story has been in the news recently and it is fasinating.
 
The Catholic Archdiocese is trying to sell a pricey convent in Los Feliz, CA (Hollywood area) to celebrity Katy Perry for $14.5 Million cash. On the other side of this sale, the nuns from the convent have recently sold it to a local restaurateur Dana Hollister for $15.5 Million who has plans to convert it into a boutique hotel. 
Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez is disputing the recent sale with the two elderly Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Sister … (16 comments)

beaumont real estate: Pocket Listings Can Be Legal but Are They Ethical - 04/24/15 09:48 AM
Pocket Listings Can Be Legal but Are They Ethical
First of all, let me explain what a pocket listing is for anyone who doesn't know. It is a listing agreement taken by an agent but with the understanding of the seller and agent that this listing (Residential 1-4 units) will not be put into the MLS system. In CA, there is an OPT OUT form (SELM) which must be signed by the Seller and Broker and sent to MLS or Local Board of Realtors Assoc within 48 hours. 
The MLS is a huge database of current listings and therefore a great exposure for the seller's … (14 comments)

Dancing in the Rain...Hummingbirds
A few days ago we had a big rainstorm and most of the birds go off and take cover until the rain stops. But of course the hummingbirds visit my two feeders every day, over and over and even after it gets dark so why would a little rain stop them. Here they are dancing in the rain!

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And how happy they were when the rain stopped.

Throwback Thursday-My First Cruise to Alaska

The inner beauty of Alaska  is unbelievable and you feel like you are on top of the world. We almost did not take the land tour but so glad we did. We have been back twice since and loved every moment.
 
 

 
 
 
 
This photo was taken by someone walking by  but it was perfectly aligned and we used it as our Christmas photo that year too.

How Much Money You Will Need to Close Your Escrow
 
So you get into escrow and you think you have enough money in the bank but then the fees start showing up and the Home Inspector wants his money now and the appraiser won't go out until the appraisal fee is paid up front and it can go on and on. 
Here is a simple guide that shows what most of the fees are and what can be rolled into the loan vs. what you have to pay up front. You will get a detailed statement called a (GFE) Good … (16 comments)

Cookie Party Swaps Can Be Elegant and Fun

This week I went to a cookie swap and it was a lot of fun. The hostess had it decorated beautifully and an entire table for a tasty brunch.

A Cute Mouse Catcher
 
My daughter lives in an urban area of a large city and has a 3 story apartment and of course it is not uncommon to have mice. So she rented a cat from her friends twice. Apparently the cat doesn't even have to catch the mice but the odor of the cat is enough to make the mice move on to someone else's.
 

Recently she got a new pet, a 8 week old cat named Iggy. At first her 4 year old Wired Hair Terrier didn't care for the cat but they have made … (16 comments)

Colorful Crepe Myrtle Trees are Beautiful to Landscape With
 

I notice many beautiful Crepe Myrtle trees growing here in Southern California. They come in a variety of pinks, lavenders, reds and also white. Many shopping centers and parks like them as you can mix the colors and make a beautiful setting. 
 
Where I live, they have about 8 lining both sides of the entrance for a beautiful and dramatic entryway.

The birds ike to find refuge in these trees and it makes nice pictures.
 

The flowers grow in large clumps and are very showy. Every home … (30 comments)

Have You Seen the Rotating Guitar in Philadelphia
 

Recently I was on a trip to Philadelphia and thought this site was amazing. We all are probably familiar with the restaurant 'Hard Rock Cafe' but here in downtown Philadelphia was a huge guitar and it rotated.

 
 
 
 
I just stood there for a second and even missed the light. I waited until it came around again. This made me think what a great way they brand their name 'Hard Rock Cafe'.
