Intervening circumstances have always been difficult to handle when attempting to perform daily tasks in timely manners.  It was yet another day in which I remembered how easily the best laid plans of mice and men can so quickly go awry.  With having a worker for some reason or other deciding without notice to not show up for a given task today, … continue reading

This winter blast has certainly kept me on edge all day.  The weather forecasters said it would start snowing at 9:00 a.m. and quit at 6:00 p.m tonight.  They were correct about when it would start but it's long after 6:00 p.m. and the snow is still falling.  One thing I'm glad I did on Saturday was to spend the extra time getting the ice off th … continue reading

Yet another Christmas Day has nearly passed, and realized after some of today's events, I've come to the conclusion I'm a bit of a dinosaur in regards to attending religious gatherings on Christmas Day.  Perhaps for me it's the era from which I was hard coded early-on with things that “felt” like being part of a religious gathering in celebrat … continue reading

Christmas Eve has arrived and everyone who's been wanting a white Christmas has their wish fulfilled, but as I mentioned earlier, I'm OK with it as long as it's all melted the day after tomorrow.  I felt as though I spent half the day shoveling the nasty stuff that didn't melt from yesterday as well as what fell this afternoon.  One of the patron … continue reading

Someone not long ago mentioned an interesting happening around Christmas to where if there's someone out looking in these times, they're indeed serious shoppers and likely going to purchase something if it's currently listed.  For it being Monday and the shortest day of the year, and Christmas being Friday, I would say it was an exceptionally hect … continue reading

Since it's less than a week before Christmas, I didn't think it necessary to have a public open house on any one of my listings today. Believing I would have a free day to get some domestic work done, I opted to change into my work clothes and get busy.  After about four hours of it, my cellphone rang and it was a buyer wanting to view a home for … continue reading
