Love On The Beach!!
No….. I didn’t suddenly pack up and move back to California for some Love On The Beach. (seriously, the amount of un-packing left to do? Never. I am NEVER. Ever. Moving. AGAIN!! E-V-E-R!! Who has this much STUFF?!?!) Okay, sorry got off on a little tangent there. I’m back. As I was saying I did not pack up and move back to Sunny California. Instead I ordered a set of pictures called “Love On The Beach“. I couldn’t be more thrilled!! Not just because of my canvas obsession. No, not because the pictures are vibrant and colorful. Of course, it’s not just because the scenes are so beautiful that you…

Is Now the Best Time to Sell a Home?
In a sellers’ market, there are more potential home buyers than there are available properties, which makes it the best time to sell a home. You can expect it to sell faster, and you’re much more likely to receive multiple offers in addition to selling it for the asking price or even higher. As 2017 rolled over to 2018, expectations were high, with many believing that this year could be even better than the last for selling a home as U.S. News reported. By spring, those expectations were proving to be a reality, for example, in the San Francisco Bay Area, Forbes noted that homes were selling a whopping 70%…

Top 4 Must Have Items for Device Junkies!
We used to call them gadgets. Now, they are called devices. That has a much more respectable ring to it. But at the end of the day, it amounts to the same thing. These objects of tech lust fill us with wonder and spark our collective imagination. I admit I am the queen of the device junkies. We happily pay the gadget tax of excitement and disappointment. The companies that make these products are not our friends. They make promises they can’t keep. And nothing ever lives up to its billing. But once in a great while, we strike gold. And a product comes through, at least, enough to hype…

My house is dusty. VERY. Dusty!! This fine layer of dirt is everywhere. From ground into the carpet to the top of window sills. I wonder if it will ever be clean again! Next revelation? Remodeling is a slow process. I painstakingly slow process. Having no previous experience I had no idea what to expect. Real life is not an HGTV 30 minute show. Real life takes months. Cupboards took 16 weeks to arrive. Once…

My Idaho Update
I know it’s been awhile since I have done an Idaho update especially the progress on the house. So; here goes! Get a cup of coffee and get ready for some whining! If you are new here; The Husband and I just moved from California to Sandpoint Idaho. It’s quite the change. From the people (who are SO NICE!!) to the weather! The last month has seen 100° + days (I didn’t think Idaho got this hot!) today is actually cool (downright chilly!) with heavy wind gusts that are bending the trees around our house. (Keep bending…. Please! No fall down. No fall into house. Please!) I decided that while…
