mora minnesota: Why It Is The Perfect Time To Buy A House In Mora!
- 09/12/07 04:13 PM
I'm sure you've heard the news reporters talk about how bad the real estate market is, and how prices have dropped. Well, it is true that prices have dropped, and Mora is no exception. Prices in Mora (like everywhere else) had been inflated for quite a while. Now, with the adjusting market, more properties have settled into the correct price, which is great to see. Right now is the perfect time for anyone to buy a home. If it is your first home, you can get started in a decent house with a smaller payment, and earn equity as the market begins … (0 comments)

I just checked my e-mail, and noticed that I have been MeMe'd by Debbie Baldes who works in my fiancee's old stomping grounds of Roseville, CA.

mora minnesota: What Is That Orange Horse Thing in Mora?
- 07/10/07 08:57 AM
What a great question! First, I'll show you what Wikipedia says: "A Dalecarlian horse (Swedish: Dalahäst) is a traditional wooden statuette of a horse originating in the Swedish province of Dalarna. In the older days the dala horse was mostly a toy for children, but nowadays it is used as a symbol for Dalarna or sometimes the whole of Sweden."
The Dala Horse was originally a toy, created by woodworkers for their children. Most often they were made of scraps left over from the creation of clocks, since that was a primary source of income in that era. Horses were important, also, in that … (1 comments)
