When you get into a routine, it is hard to let it go. I blog everyday and I won't be able to do that while traveling so I have a few blogs in the can so I am still in the mix. I may write some while away but frankly I hope that I am so engaged and so busy I won't have time. This then is the first

A couple of years ago I had a client who worked with a friend of mine. I was told she was interested in selling her townhome and buying a place in a retirement community that was more affordable and all on one level. When we met, the woman was lovely. She was accompanied by her long time companio

I ordered money for my upcoming trip so I have some local currency when I arrive. This morning I went to the bank and it hadn't arrived yet. Apparently it comes from Fed X and it gets there when it gets there. So I am on hold and finishing the other things I can do from home. Iam anxious about le
