It's a Walk in the Park...SIF Week in Review June 21-28, 2008

Ah, a day in the park. I had one of those this week. It was a nice day, actually...I'm planning on writing a localism post about it....But I digress.

The funny thing about a day in the park is that you look forward to the fun you will have, prepare for every anticipated activity and pack a spectacular lunch, but there are always those minor details that you forget you have to deal with - or didn't anticipate at all. Much like our careers in Home Staging..

Hey Kim, this looks so tantalizing! There are a lot of posts which I'm going to get caught up with tonight or in the morning. Thanks! You always make this a fun and exciting adventure -- but no stroll in the park!

Hi Kim;

Once again a huge thank you for your efforts! I have been unable to keep up with my daily rain dose and I have been suffering withdrawals. At least now I can catch up on what I have missed. And like Melissa, you've made it easy for me to do so when I have the time. Thank you also for featuring one of my posts.

Cheers!
