tag: Tag, You're It! American Touch Tag Day is October 8
- 10/06/21 10:16 PM
Who else remembers a childhood filled with playing games outside until dark?
From Hide and Seek to Sardines in a Can to Touch Tag, the Fairglen Willow Glen neighborhood pals usually kept the outside play time going until parents called a person in for dinner or bed.
October 8 is American Touch Tag Day. It's a great excuse to play (or teach) children how to play tag.

How Many of These 85th Academy Award-Nominated Movies Have You Seen?
By Michelle Carr-Crowe, Silicon Valley real estate agent
As reported on CNN today, January 10, 2013, the nominations for the 85th Academy Awards were announced. Many years I will have seen at least one-third to one-half of the movies.
This year is unique: I haven’t even seen one of these Academy Award-Nominated Movies.
Maybe it was because I was too busy helping families buy and sell homes in Silicon Valley in 2012 to go out to see many movies. I wonder though...how many have you seen...and what was your … (4 comments)

by Michelle Carr-Crowe, Cupertino real estate agents selling homes in San Jose, Calif.
Have you ever seen "Home For Sale" or "Open House" signs that lead to nowhere?
You know what I mean. A lot of random "home for sale" or "open house" signs that when you follow them never actually lead to a home for sale, and maybe don't even make you go around in a circle either.

Do You Want Your Check Or Not?
by Michelle Carr-Crowe, San Jose Saratoga Lynbrook High Homes Cupertino Schools Sales Specialists
"Do you want your check or not?"
(I'm guessing the answer would usually be YES from most of us.)
Imagine you are twenty-two and the Silicon Valley home you'd grown up in was being foreclosed on, your father was ill and out of the country, and you were doing your best to move everything out of the home and yard all by yourself, including two cats... how you would feel?
Depressed? Frustrated? Angry? Overwhelmed?
