kenai peninsula real estate: Alaskans Are Weird...But Life is Worthwhile Here... and Interesting
- 09/08/10 08:40 PM
Alaskans Are Weird... I Say This With All Affection Because After 20 Years I Have Earned The Alaskan Designation.
You Have To Be A Little Weird To Live Here... Life is Good in Alaska but You Have To Deal With Things
They Just Don't Have To Worry About In The Real World...
Like Bears and Moose in The Yard,
Volcanoes and Earthquakes,
Eagles Eating Small Pets
And Well Winter...Extreme Snow, Ice and Cold...
But Today Someone Came Up To Me and Said "Gosh I Can Hardly Wait Till the Snow Flies"
He Is Thinking Of Snow Machining … (39 comments)

kenai peninsula real estate: Shoot Low Sherriff they're riding Shetlands... or Are they?
- 09/02/10 08:34 PM
Shoot Low Sherriff they're riding Shetlands...
So I'm driving down the road minding my own business when suddenly I see ahead of me a very strange sight...
In Homer Alaska like other towns across the nation people love their dogs and drive them around in their trucks...
But I have never seen someone driving around with a small pony in the back of the truck
The head was bobbing , the hair was flying and the neck going back and forth....
It looked Real.....Really!
Upon closer investigation this was no pony...maybe a one trick pony... it was a … (3 comments)

kenai peninsula real estate: Happy Birthday Mary Ann Rowe! Homer Alaska
- 09/01/10 08:04 PM
Happy Birthday Mary Ann Rowe! Mary Ann is one of Homer Alaska's Finest!
She moved from California to Homer in the early 70's! I think that was before they had paved roads... so it wasn't all that easy! Today is her Birthday so it would be a good time to call her and say Happy Birthday... or send flowers.... Or dark chocolate....
Mary Ann Rowe is a fixture in the title world... She works at First American Title and before that worked at Kachemak Title... She is the Title Queen..... She knows where all the easements are and the encroachments … (1 comments)

Hope they get a little closer so I can get some better pictures!

Accordin to our Rhonda Johnson at AKUSA Mortgage....
Although the $8,000 federal tax credit for first-time home buyers ended April 30, certain members of the military and certain other federal employees who were stationed overseas have another year to take advantage of this program.

kenai peninsula real estate: Dick Synhorst ....Shoot Low Sheriff they're riding Shetlands
- 03/15/10 05:58 PM
Dick Synhorst was a very special person with a zest for living, endless energy and a ton of corny jokes and sayings...
Shoot Low Sheriff they're riding Shetlands (one of my favorites)
He died March 16th 2008 from chronic leukemia...
Dick was robust and hard working... whether he was selling real estate or mowing his lawn he put everything into it...He had a Big Lawn with a Big View!
He and Too Tall Tom Hall quit Real Estate to develop land and they loved it... quite a pair to draw to... they earned their nick names.... the "Dirt Dogs"

kenai peninsula real estate: All tsunami warnings canceled….. lets enjoy the calm waters
- 02/28/10 06:42 PM
There is some talk of over zealous warnings of possible tsunamis after the 8.8 on the Richter scale Earthquake in Chile.....
My mother was a Girl Scout leader...four daughters...
Her motto was always be prepared for anything
I don't think we should mock the scientists for making sure all the bases were covered..
The truth is it could have gone a lot worse... and no warning would be negligent....
I for one am glad we all escaped any damage from a tsunami this week....
And I say we should all be prepared for any natural disaster that may come our way...

Eagles on the Spit in Homer Alaska.....
The eagles were chirping up a storm on the Homer Spit today...
Making lots of noise and kind of squabbling with each other...
It was warm...got to 42 degrees and rained for a while
The sun started shining and it felt like Spring with Snow...
Ever Seen an Eagle walk thru the snow...?
Sit at a Picnic table waiting for food?
