Good morning Carol. Well, let's just say I did not wipeout but rather was a hit and miss type of guy this week. Not bad for an old guy. Thanks! Enjoy your day.

Carol Williams thanks, Carol... getting better with each passing day. I started driving a couple of days ago. But still using a cane and hoping to be able to ditch it in another week or so.

That's good to hear, Nina Hollander, Broker. I'm sure you were very happy about being able to get back to driving!

Have fun at the Farmer's market today. Are you and Anthony selling your creations?

Well, Carol Williams - we only sold one utensil today. Very quiet in terms of buyers!

That's too bad, Kat Palmiotti 
I bet you still enjoyed visiting with the people, though.

I have not heard of Property Radar, but it seems that Frank Worrell knows his stuff, so everyone should learn a lot.

I have never heard of Property Radar either, Brian England. I'm looking forward to learning about it even if I'll never use it.

Hi Will Hamm 
I hope you have some fun plans for the weekend. I know the Broncos have a game against the Steelers tomorrow. It would have been more interesting if Russell Wilson were going to play. I am a Bo Nix fan, so I hope he does well with the Broncos.

Blogging isn't for everyone and they might as well know it, but it can be VERY effective for the right people.

That said, I think some people are trying to use AI to make a stab at blogging, when it's really not for them.

Hi Carol I've had the chance to read a number of your picks this week. And some of the other ones sounds quit intriguing from your description! Must reads for sure!  Hope you're enjoying your weekend to the max.  Weather has cooled down to the 90's here and we're loving it!

Sep 14, 2024 01:48 PM

The weather is perfect here now, Anna "Banana" Kruchten 
It looks like it's going to stay that way at least through next week. I don't know what the long term forecast looks like.
