Home Staging For You

This Week…Words and Expectations The local news was all over the winter weather expected tomorrow.  Our lows are expected to be in the mid 20’s. And…wonder of wonder, we may get some snow on Monday or Tuesday!  Words are but pictures of our thoughts.John Dryden  That may seem like nothing to thos...

Friday Fun…Key Tales Gloria Todor wrote an excellent post about Keys recently that reminded me of a few (well, slightly more than a few) times when we have been locked out. Keys are such small things and the power they hold over us is interesting.   When we moved to Leesburg, VA, I was still livi...

Thoughts…Do Nothing Day Have you ever wished you had a weekend or day…or even an hour when you could do nothing?  For those of you who are still working, you know that is almost impossible. Your latest listing or closing, or where your next client will come from are always at the top of your mind...

Wordless Wednesday…It’s a Texas Thang When we lived in Florida, as much as I loved our life there, I missed Texas and Texans. We were reminded just how much we were back in the great State of Texas when we squeezed our little Prius into a parking space.  There’s a special relationship between a T...

January Challenge- Passing the Apron When I was young, I learned how to cook by watching my grandmother prepare our dinners and our big family holiday dinners.  She prepared everything for those big dinners…the turkey, ham, dressing, mashed potatoes, etc AND at least 4 pies. There were no written...

This Week…Mother Nature is Having Her Way There are some things in life over which we have little to no control. Mother Nature has shown us that. No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of others. Charles DickensThis week those in California are dealing with the worst fires to hi...

Friday Fun…STOP…What Would It Be For You? If you had to leave your house NOW besides yourself or child…what would you grab? With the horrific fires in CA, people have had to flee their homes with little to no notice. You have to go! (Read Patricia Feager’s recent post)   Things can be replaced…YO...

Apps Away…Accepting AI Art Just having some fun!  In case you missed it, yesterday we had a fun and informative Zoom Meeting about AI.   (Really, if you haven’t attended one, you don’t know what you’re missing. Lots to learn…lots of fun…and a wonderful cast of characters!!!)  Kat DeLong , Carol W...
