My father quit traveling by air several years ago because of his knees and back, so it's been long time since I've seen him.His last visit to Las Vegas was 2-3 years ago, I can't even remember. And it's been around 4-5 years since I have visited him in Minnesota.There is a friend of mine that sent me a text message yesterday and mentioned that the doctor has given his father 90 hours to live, give or take and my friend is the same age as me.And my friends father mentioned to his children that he (Does Not) want to be hooked up to life support machines, so it's only a matter of days.Between my sister back in Minnesota and my friend telling me about his father, it really has me thinking that Vegas Bob needs to visit his father. So where has all the time gone?  Robert Swetz Jr, Steven Swet... 08/07/2015

Robert Swetz (Vegas Bob's) Mother passed away 2:00 Central Time 8-27-2010   Robert Swetz is very sad because he didn't have the chance to say "Goodbye" to his Mother. I received a phone call yesterday from my sister saying our Mother's body was shutting down, and to wait a few days and see what happens. Dorothy Swetz aka (Dorothy Gilbert) was a very loving mother and shall be very missed by all of us. She had been fighting "Cancer" for around 35 years and we all wondered how she continued to be so strong. Dorothy (Dodie) came into our lives when our real Mother had left us when I was around eight years old, and even though Dodie was our step-mother I felt she was our real Mother because she was with us through all these years. I will be heading to Minnesota to spend some time with our F... 08/27/2010

I hear the news, and I know what everyone thinks.  I have heard that it's a horrible market, and there is no point in trying to sell your house right now.So I'm using this blog to plea with a few of you, and point out to a few of you the truth in one part of Kanabec County.For those of you who live on Knife Lake, it is a SELLERS MARKET.Yep, you read that right!  For example:Last week, on Monday, a property came on the market on Knife Lake.  It was priced at 229,900, bank owned, and needed a lot of updating.There were multiple offers by Wednesday.No joke!I know that I personally have about 6 buyers for Knife Lake lots.  That's just me!   There are many other agents in the area, and I'm sure they have buyers for Knife Lake, too!It's a very sought-after lake, and I strongly suggest that if... 06/26/2007
