valley springs: What will I be adapting to in the future?
- 09/18/11 11:22 AM
As I was reading the article Keep Your Cyber Image Polished by Dinah Eng in the September issue of California Real Estate, I thought it would be fun to add up the hours I spend on my online image. I have two websites and belong to several social networks including LinkedIn, twitter, face book and active rain. As I started to tally up all my hours, I was shocked by what I found; it looks like I spend an average of four hours every day researching, blogging or updating. On a monthly basis that comes out to 120 hours or … (5 comments)

Yesterday, I got up early, made my coffee and turned on the computer. I was ready to play catch up on paper work before the start of my day. At 10:00am my husband Dave and I had an appointment in Arnold. The plan was to meet my parents before the appointment and since Arnold is about an hour away we decided to leave at 7:30am. As we drove we listened to the stories of 9/11. With the serenity of the morning as well as the stories of love, compassion and bravery that took place on that tragic day … (1 comments)

Yesterday when I left my house it was already warm so I dressed accordantly. I made my rounds to Lockeford, Linden and Valley Springs. As I was leaving my last stop in Valley Springs I noticed sprinkles on my windshield. A mile down the road and it looked like a flash flood had occurred. I still had two stops to make in Burson and by the time I arrived in Acampo I was soaking wet.
Today I was ready for the open house signs every few blocks, balloons for the signs, no vehicles in the driveway or in front … (5 comments)

Every Thursday I travel through three counties and eight towns to check on my rural properties. I always look forward to the day and the break in my usual routine. Thursday is a lot of drive time and I use it to reflect on various things in my life, a true mediation day. Today was no different I left Herald heading for Lockeford then Linden, Wallace, Burson, Valley Springs, Acampo and Ione. On my drive I am held up by a group of grape tractors so I relax and enjoy the herd of Long horns and horses grazing in the field. … (6 comments)
valley springs: A day in the country
- 08/03/11 03:46 PM
Today I have several tasks to do so I will start early. As I begin my drive I am surrounded by vineyards, orchards, Farm houses, ranches, cattle, horses and fields of corn. The oak trees that run throughout the land are magical giant shadows.
As I pass through Lockeford on my way to Valley Springs I am reminded of the history that has taken place on this land and of the pioneers that settled here looking for gold in the rivers of the Sierras. . I feel blessed as I travel through the countryside doing my weekly home inspections. … (1 comments)
