clark county: Views to Soothe - View Homes are Good for Your Health - Really!
- 02/17/18 07:29 AM
Just looking at scenes of nature can have a positive impact on our minds and bodies. According to an increasing number of studies, looking at scenes of nature reduces anger, fear and stress, and increases feelings of overall well-being. Incredible isn't it?
Although, we're not suggesting you should ditch your time spent in the great outdoors. It's always good to move our bodies and breathe in fresh air. However, adding to the positive benefits of having a connection to nature full-time is possible when you live in a home with soothing and natural views. In addition, having some land to garden and tend … (29 comments)

clark county: Multigenerational Homes in Clark County, WA - What Families Really Want
- 01/16/17 11:10 AM
I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want. - Spice Girls
Most multi-generational buyers are looking for a home with separate living space for another generation, most often the grandparent(s) of still-at-home children. Three generations living under one roof. In other cases, it’s two generations sharing a home. Returning young-adult children, or baby boomers who choose to care for aging parents in lieu of placing them in nursing homes.
The latter is our situation. However, what’s unusual about our set-up is that my sister and brother-in-law also live on the property too. It created a bit more complications in terms … (11 comments)

- 01/10/17 09:55 AM
"There was a power outage at the department store yesterday, twenty people were trapped on the escalator." - Steven Wright
We've had quite a winter so far. The weather folks haven't compiled all of the statistics, yet. Therefore it's tough to know if the frequent spells of cold temperatures, snow, freezing rain and wind are as abnormal as they feel. Regardless, it has been challenging for commuters, and many people have temporarily lost power throughout the entire Portland-Vancouver Metro area. Especially those who live in rural areas,
This is the second year we've lived in our Multi-Generational home located in the hills above … (18 comments)

- 12/28/16 09:00 AM
We recently sold another ViewHome™ along the Washougal River, and Debb checked in to see how they spent their first Christmas. They are so grateful to live in their version of paradise -surrounded by nature, with the sounds of the river rushing past their home. They even had a few kayakers paddle by one sunny morning - each waving and acknowledging what a gift it is to be on the water.
Water has a natural, meditative effect on us -- the sight and sound of moving water helps put us in a relaxed, reflective mode that seems to ameliorate any disruptions around us. This is one of the many … (13 comments)

Mom and Dad and the Kids - Together Again
We live in a multi-generational home. Mom and dad, my husband and me, and my sister and her husband. I’m sure some people think we’re nuts. Hey, I might have thought that prior to actually experiencing this living arrangement. It’s likely not for everyone, but it works for our family.

A Garden Party in Washougal - The Neighbors called the Cops
Our client, and now good friend, always celebrates special occasions in a big way. Last weekend, she threw herself a garden party to celebrate her last year as a 60-something. We knew we in for a treat, as she has great taste, style, and flair, and is very detail oriented.
The afternoon party was set up in her beautiful gardens with beverages and tasty hord’ourves. Soft music played over the speakers as guests mingled before an early supper. Once seated, the hostess had a special gift for everyone and we enjoyed the … (9 comments)

clark county: Views Of Nature - "Water, Water Everywhere"
- 06/09/16 12:04 AM
Summer Heat and Popular Cool Water Spots
With the heat spell upon us, it is comforting to know we are surrounded by so many places where water is easily accessible in nature. Whether you just want to wade in a shallow stream, or plunge into a deep pool, you have many choices for cooling off outdoors. The big challenge is – with all the choices – deciding where to go.
The biggest natural water feature in the area is, of course, the Columbia River, and the options are unlimited if you have a boat. Some areas are off-limits due to access or strong currents. But if you want to lie on … (23 comments)

clark county: Alpaca Adoration and Dreaming in Clark County, WA
- 04/04/16 04:05 AM
Alpaca Adoration and Dreaming
Alpacas make me feel all warm and fuzzy - I just love them! Don't ask me when this adoration began, it's tough to pinpoint. Perhaps the moment I laid eyes on my first one. There's something kind and friendly about them - and whimsical. If they were smaller, I'd ensure we had a dozen! My mom, who lives with us, recently informed me that she loves them too.
However, regardless of our admiration for them and our acre-plus property in Camas, we will not be getting any alpacas in the near future. They love company, and as herd animals, it's not fair to have … (18 comments)
