The "Whale Tales" #13

By
Real Estate Agent with Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty

Ok, I know it's been a while, and believe me I know it's well overdue, but not without reason.

Our very own Donna Foerster, won a small contest I had back in June of 2011. She was to choose the fairy tale to inspire #13 Whale Tale. Unfortuately, she was very sick, and hospitalized for 4 months. Meanwhile as we all prayed for her, I contacted her and her husband to say to her "Get better because #13 could not be without you". 

After she was set home, and felling up to it, she sent me a list of some of her favorite Fairy Tales (a few I had already done). So, I chose Hansel & Gretel, and put my spin on it.

As teens mature they often look to go out on their own, they have no idea what in-store for them. A realtor can help them find the perfect place to suit their budget and their needs.

So as Donna, is back in her "Home Sweet Home", lets hope she enjoys the "Sweet Digs", I found for these young adults.

In case you missed the rest.......

Oh Ellen, such talent. I'm so delighted that you have another Whale Tales installment - and love that it's for sweet Donna. Saw your comment on Richard's latest "tale" and I was glad that you reached out to the "like-mindedness." :)   I'm so happy we talked and am glad to count you as a wonderful friend I've met in the Rain. ( Also getting a button push from moi)

Hi Ellen...you're b a c k   with the whales tales.... Like this one about young ones leaving their nest to find their own way.... too many young people still depend on their parents.

Here I am, here I am!  Sorry.  It has not been a good week for me health-wise.  I was in the hospital ER twice and I had a trip to the doctor's office too.  Feeling a bit better today.

Love the Whale's Tales as usual.  Thank you so much for the special notarity.  I am honored!

Hey Ellen, glad to see you back in action with the Whale Tales.  With those birds eating the crumbs left to mark the trail I don't think Hansel & Gretel will find their way back, but with those new digs I'm sure they don't mind.

Donna, glad you dropped by to see it and all the lovely comments about you as well. Feel Good, and know my wishes for your are healthy days at Home Sweet Home!

Nick, In an Italian home, there are no crumbs, and even the kids don't get new digs till they marry. But you know I'm covering all the bases. Next one is another surprise, a feature I haven't touched on before.

Valerie, I am a multi-tasker, but sometimes I need a steady hand and sit at the table. Almost always my rough sketches and concepts are done in front of the TV or multi-tasking. Wait and see tomorrows!

Richard, And I'll take an autographed copy of your book! Tomorrow in #14 and then I've got my mind made up to feature a man as inspiration for the next one. Roger joked and asked me if I would do a fairy story for him....no way! LOL
