Open House


We hosted our first ever "Open House" this past weekend. That's where you invite strangers into your house and try to make'm buy it! Five different bands of wanderers passed by and took the tour. Ms. Lulu did a fine job as chief tour guide and curator. Out of the dozen or so "Openhousees" I'd reckon about 2 are true visionaries, looking to improve their stake in life.

Keep your fingers crossed!


ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo



Well, we've put the house on the market. Attempting to sell it ourselves to save that almighty 6% the realtors want... Ain't sure how it'll work out ~ not with a constricting market and all...




Always heard that first impressions go a long way -- in the real estate world, they call it "curb appeal".




Let us know what you think and most importantly ~ SEND BUYERS!

I laughed until I cried ~ several times!




I am not a Steve ___ "fan". I don't see anything funny or socially redeeming in a movie about the escapades of a "40 Year old virgin", nor do I frequent movies satirizing Biblical events... It just don't seem right i.e. Ephesian 5:4. That said...




My young bride and I went to see the new Get Smart movie this past Friday night ~ and I must admit ~ I wound up just short of "convulsion status" more than once. With herculean effort, my date kept me from completely erupting {which could have drawn a 9-1-1 call, or at least a stern chorus of SHHHHH!} I kept my lid on pretty well, but the pressure valve was really hopp'n and whisl'n... and yes, the tears were gushing...




Those of us who enjoyed Don Adams and never missed a Saturday night episode will enjoy this one. Mr. C does not try to recreate Mr. Adams' portrayal ~ who could. What he does do is create a new Agent Smart... not dissimilar from the original, yet with a unique twist...


If you enjoy a good belly laugh(s) ~ and a bit of 60-70's nostalgia ~ don't miss it!


P..s watch for the original "Sigfried's" cameo!
