houses for sale in bountiful ut: It's still a great time of the year to buy a home!! - 12/28/13 08:46 AM
Wednesday marks the beginning of a New Year, but lets not forget, it is still a good time to purchase a home.  Will you be able to move in by the first, probably (read not going to happen) not.  That doesn't change the facts that it is a good reason to purchase.  Rates are still low, there are some great options available (at least in our area), and there isn't a lot of competition for the homes that are out there.
Here in our area, there is a lot of snow, (not as much as there is in some areas of … (4 comments)

houses for sale in bountiful ut: Day after Christmas...Maybe It's a good day to set some goals for next year... - 12/26/13 01:40 AM
After a trip to Supercuts and about an hour of exercise I am sitting at my computer, thinking about what I wish to accomplish next year.  The truth is, I have been thinking about this for many days and weeks.  Now is the time that I try to get really serious about the process.  Nothing worth having has ever been built with some sort of plan.
We have all seen or been in houses that appear to have unplanned additions.  They make no sense and often detract rather than add to the value of the property.  The old saying is that … (15 comments)

houses for sale in bountiful ut: More Lights of the Season.... - 12/21/13 12:40 AM
I wanted to share some more photographs of the Christmas Lights in Downtown Salt Lake City.  We have had a couple of big snow storms come through, which did a couple of things.  It cleaned out he stagnant air and pushed out the really cold air, and replaced it with cleaner yet still cold air.  I will admit that I am using muscle to shovel snow, that I haven't used in months! 

More Christmas lights in Downtown Salt Lake City.  I loved the water arches from the fountains.

houses for sale in bountiful ut: Living in South Davis County...Smokin' Bones... - 12/20/13 12:33 AM
Who doesn't love Barbecue?  Well, if you do, this post is for you!  About a week ago Darcy and I tried out a barbecue place in Bountiful, Smokin' Bones.  The food was amazing!  It is a little out of the way, but it was well worth the search!  They smoke their meats on site which makes for extra tasty food!
I had the smoked sausage, I will admit I was expecting a commercially produced sausage. I was very surprised, it was a sausage that if it is sold commercially, it was one that I have never found it in a store.  … (6 comments)

houses for sale in bountiful ut: Living in South Davis County...Javier's Mexican Restaurant... - 12/18/13 08:45 AM
One of the great parts about writing this series of blogs to highlight why people should consider buying homes in South Davis County is the opportunity to explore and write about some great local restaurants.  This is actually a restaurant that we have eaten at many times.  It is one of Darcy's favorite Mexican places here in South Davis County.
Javier's is in Farmington, but it is part of a small chain of restaurants, I know of 2 other locations, Ogden and Layton.  It is wonderful food!  It offers a salsa bar, where you can choose what ever type of salsas … (4 comments)

houses for sale in bountiful ut: Christmas Lights...Downtown Salt Lake City... - 12/17/13 04:30 AM
Last night we went to downtown Salt Lake City.  The Christmas lights at Temple Square are spectacular!  Darcy braved the cold to take photos with the use of a tripod.  They turned out pretty well,  I wanted to share a couple with you

Looking at the Salt Lake Temple from the east.  The mist rising off the reflecting pool makes for a fuzzy effect.

This one really shows the mist coming off of the fountain.
I hope that you like these, if you're in the area, it is worth the trip to see!

houses for sale in bountiful ut: Living in South Davis County...La Puente.... - 12/17/13 01:40 AM
La Puente is another really good Mexican Restaurant located in South Davis County.  It is located in Market Square in Centerville.  The food is very good, I really like it.  There are several La Puente restaurants located in Northern Utah.  From my research, it is a local chain.  The food is traditional Mexican Cuisine, so you may want to order extra tortillas, it is hot. 
La Puente is resonably priced, and as I mentioned, I really like the food.  Like my earlier post about Lorena's Mexican restaurant, the tortillas are wonderful.  They are thick like Lorena's and very good.  I will … (3 comments)

houses for sale in bountiful ut: Living in South Davis County...Empire Chinese Gourmet.. - 12/17/13 01:26 AM
I have written a lot of blogs about Chinese Restaurants in South Davis County. I will admit to two things.  I love Chinese food, and we have a lot of great Chinese Restaurants in South Davis County.   Empire Chines Gourmet is perfect if you're in a hurry, and you feel like trying many different dishes.  It is a buffet, but the food is like any other restaurant.
The Empire Chinese Gourmet is located just east of Exit 315 on Interstate 15, across the street from Walmart, it shares the parking lot with Village Inn.  The prices are very reasonable and … (0 comments)

houses for sale in bountiful ut: Day is Breaking, A Time for a new start..... - 12/16/13 03:08 AM

I took this photo the other morning from our back stoop.  The sun's morning rays were just beginning to illuminate the overcast winter sky.  It was a bitterly cold morning as I awaited our two dogs to finish their business, yet I thought, what a great time to remember that each day is a new beginning.
We hear that a lot, but it is true.  While yesterday gives us knowledge, experience and hopefully judgement, it doesn't have any actual bearing on today.  We are not promised a tomorrow, who knows what may happen today?  I say that not to cause … (12 comments)

houses for sale in bountiful ut: Living in South Davis County...Ho Ho Gourmet.... - 12/16/13 02:34 AM
I have mentioned in several blogs that we're blessed here in South Davis County with several wonderful Chinese Restaurants.  I have a hard time trying to decide which one we should eat when we decide to eat Chinese food.  The Ho Ho Gourmet is another of the really excellent Chinese restaurants. 
It has been a few days since we last ate at the Ho Ho Gourmet.  The food is excellent!  It is located off of 2600 South in Bountiful.  The prices are very reasonable and the portions are really good.  This is another of the really popular restaurants in the area, … (3 comments)

houses for sale in bountiful ut: One More Photo of our Favorite Places...Torrey, Utah..... - 12/14/13 02:33 PM
I wanted to include another of our favorite places to visit.  This shot is from Torrey, Utah.  It shows some of the breathtaking scenery that Utah is famous for.  In the back of the photo is the Boulder Mountain.  A couple of miles east from where this photo was taken is Capitol Reef National Park.  Capitol Reef is one of the lesser known gems in the National Park system. 

A little Red, White and blue skies with some green added in!

My last post we titled Living in South Davis County...Flash and Fire.  Well this photo was taken at the fireworks show in Disneyland at Mickey's Halloween Party.  So it wouldn't have been right to say living in South Davis County, but I think Darcy got a really cool shot!  I hope that you like it, you may recognize where in Disneyland this took place....

It was quite a show!!!

houses for sale in bountiful ut: Saturday's Photo, Flash and Fire.... - 12/14/13 02:08 PM
Well I guess that we have survived Friday the 13th as well as Saturday the 14th.  I wanted to share a photo of a sunset that Darcy took last week.

I call this photo flash and fire
The flash is the headlights of a passing automobile on Interstate 15.  The Fire is the blazing sunset on a Winter's evening.  Have a good night!

houses for sale in bountiful ut: Living in South Davis County...Fuji Sushi.... - 12/13/13 12:25 AM
One of the great things about doing a series of blogs like this is the experience.  By that I mean it has forced me out of my comfort zone and try new restaurants even when you like to eat at one restaurant.  Fuji Sushi is one of those great restaurants.  As the name implies it is  a wonderful Japanese Restaurant specializing in sushi.
I may have mentioned that I like sushi, I could probably eat it 3 or 4 times a week.  If you were to twist my arm, I could probably eat it 5 or 6 times a week.  Fuji … (5 comments)

houses for sale in bountiful ut: Living in South Davis County...Joy Luck Restaurant... - 12/11/13 11:59 PM
I have mentioned before that we have a lot of great Chinese restaurants here in South Davis County.  So if you're considering a move to the area and like Chinese Food, you're coming to the right place!  Today we are highlighting the Joy Luck Restaurant in Woods Cross.  It is also an excellent choice if you like chinese cuisine.
Joy Luck has a great atmosphere they can accommodate large groups, yet still provide an intimate setting.  As I mentioned they have great food.  There is one dish that takes some getting used to, their Lemon Chicken sauce is red.  It is … (10 comments)

houses for sale in bountiful ut: Living in South Davis County...The Bistro on Main.... - 12/11/13 02:46 AM
This post is one of those quaint and fun restaurants that every community should have.  The Bistro on Main is just one of those restaurants.  It located in Smedley manner, which was built in 1893, it is a wonderful older home which has been retrofitted into dining areas.  Some of the windows still have the old fashioned wavy glass.  The dining area is intimate although there are spaces available to host groups.  It is a great place for a breakfast or lunch meeting for an office.
It has been a few weeks since we ate there, but the food was great!  … (4 comments)

houses for sale in bountiful ut: Is Bigger Always Better???? - 12/10/13 03:08 AM
I had an interesting experience in customer service this morning.  I had a refill on a prescription for high blood pressure that was called in to the pharmacy at the nearby Walmart. This is a prescription that I had filled there less than a month ago.  I got there to pick it up, (the prescription was sent over yesterday afternoon from the doctor's office) they couldn't find a prescription for me, they said that they had never filled any prescription for me.  I said that was odd, I had a prescription filled less than a month ago.  I was assured that … (10 comments)

houses for sale in bountiful ut: Living in South Davis County...Rumbi Island Grill..... - 12/05/13 12:09 AM
Well it is 9 degrees outside as I am typing (is that still an applicable word?) this post, so who wouldn't love a trip to the Islands?  Rumbi Island Grill is just that although with Hawaiian cuisine along with jerked meats, I am not sure which Islands you would be going to!  I do know that the food is excellent!  This is a chain with franchises that began in Salt Lake City in 2000.  That is why I include it in my blogs about the local places to eat.  There are locations in Colorado, Idaho, Arizona and Nevada, so it is … (4 comments)
