Another Perfect Day

I was in near shock to find it evolving into one of the most beautiful of pre-Fall days to where I went to work finding as much to keep me outdoors as possible. One of my long-term clients stopped in just to say "hello" since I'd not seen him since the closing of a home he sold back in March. His family has done business with my office for a nu … continue reading

Work and Wait

There's no question this summer has been one filled with lingering humidity. I'm sure many of the newbies to North Iowa will think all are summers are filled with heat and humidity. The sales of dehumidifiers have been brisk to where some stores can't keep enough of them in stock. I showed a vacant home today that didn't have central air, and … continue reading

Infantile Actions

I certainly wasn't expecting to find it so hot and humid today which was quite a turn-around from yesterday's pleasant temps. Unfortunately, the wind turned directions on us and is now coming from the south, and likely delivering this hot and humid air from the Gulf. After seeing how hot it is in Northern Europe, I can't imagine what those peop … continue reading

Bucolic Settings

Several people had mentioned today how it was just a bit on the chilly side for them, but after those many days of being beaten by high heat and humidity, I personally considered it a welcome reprieve. Thank goodness the fly population is going down. For a few weeks there, I thought we were being invaded from all directions. The biting ones a … continue reading

Nature’s Recyclers

When I left for church early this morning, I noticed it to be 59 degrees outside. Yes, the days are growing shorter and the nights colder. Like most of you, I'm feeling a bit cheated by Mother Nature this year. It seems we went from the cold and snow to hot and humid with nothing between. And, we certainly can't forget those wicked storms w … continue reading

Old Age Disease

I hope you all had a delightful Sunday, which I believe you should have considering how pleasant it was outdoors. I spent a number of hours doing yard work, cleaning gutters, mowing, along with weed pulling and spraying. I bristled a little at first and then laughed when a couple I've known for quite sometime, happened to see me out mowing at t … continue reading

Spirit of Gratefulness

I would say in these past days, there's been a spike in the calls from prospective buyers, along with other agents showing my office listings. Perhaps the momentum of buying will continue on into the month of July. The price ranges that I've seen the most activity, are those in the $100K+ and $200K plus ranges. As I've suspected all along, th … continue reading

Nothing Ever Upsets

How often have we seen a 24 hour temperature change like what happened over these past two days? Yesterday morning it was in the low 30s, yet early this morning it was already 52 degrees, but the real jaw-dropper was finding our Downtown temperatures hovering around 85 degrees this afternoon. Looks like we're heading into what appears to be ano … continue reading

Cafe Mir

With it being in the low 30's before I left home for the office this morning, I figured it best to dress warm, and later glad I did considering how cold that north wind was blowing all day. Believe it or not, there is still unmelted snow in shaded areas of our City. After getting out of my car to look at a vacant house this morning, as I turned … continue reading

My Good Deed

Without even thinking twice, I'm sure many of you were doing the same thing I was this morning--shoveling snow. After seeing how many driveways and sidewalks were still un-shoveled after finishing up mine, caused me to wonder if many were just waiting for it to melt off, or decided to stay inside until the afternoon arrived. Of course always, m … continue reading

- The Place to Be
  I'd say this was a Monday to be remembered with the number of appointments I had scheduled along with the number of phone calls and drop-ins. I did manage to make them all, with the exception of being 10 minutes late for one this morning due to an extended phone call. This week may possibly […]
- Hairpin Turns
  My public open house was a great success to where there were people coming and going nearly the entire time. I was surprised to find it overcast all day since the weather report called for it to be sunny. In spite of the dreariness, I'm glad there was a good turn-out. One of the groups […]
- Population Explosion
  While not being overly confident, I would say after playing today's service, I'm pretty much over the hump of being comfortably familiar with the organ, piano, and their order of service. Nearly always in the past, there's been one hiccup or another which is always embarrassing. Playing their historic organ this morning was the most […]
