The Magic of Home
Posted on Jul 22, 2010 by Cari McGee in Miscellaneous
There is magic in that little world, home: it is a mystic circle that surrounds comforts and virtues never known beyond its hallowed limits. – Robert Southey, poet Last week my brother gave me a DVD of converted 16mm film home movies shot in the 40′s, 50′s and 60′s. There were a lot of people [...]
If You Lived Here, You'd Be Appreciating By Now
Posted on Oct 20, 2009 by Cari McGee in Miscellaneous
My absence from regular blogging, my accounting spreadsheet, and the fact that I’ve had dinner with the family about 10 days out of the last 100, attest to the fact that I have been very busy. Mostly with first-time homebuyers who want to take advantage of the first-time homebuyer tax credit, but our market is [...]
Real Estate Open Houses: Lock Up Your Valuables
Posted on Mar 25, 2009 by Cari McGee in Miscellaneous
Late last week, the Kennewick police arrested a man who is accused of looking for prescription medicines while attending Open Houses. I hadn’t encountered the man, but some of my real estate colleagues had, and were relieved to have him behind bars in time for the Open House Extravaganza on Sunday. Apparently, the guy would [...]

Aaaargh! It happened again! I did get time to write some more posts this week, but they’re over at the Richland and Pasco blog sites. So, this past week, what went down? Well, the HUGE news was the mall closing down for three hours while they looked for the third suspect in a JCPenney break-in. [...]

Words cannot express how much I LOVE the NORAD tracks Santa site. We log in every year (they provide hourly updates starting at 3am PST on 12/24) to see where Santa is on his travels. My kids learn geography and find out where the big guy is expected next. My favorite memory of Santa-tracking took [...]
Thanks, Spark

Nothing real estate-related today…simply reflecting on how thankful I am for having my health, my husband and two children and our house and more than enough food for the table. God is good. This is my first Thanksgiving without my dad. I hadn’t spent Thanksgiving with him since 1990, so it’s not like the day [...]
Links Back to the Years That Were 11/2
Posted on Nov 2, 2008 by Cari McGee in Miscellaneous
A twist today on my weekly re-cap post. Today my beloved husband and I have been married for 17 years. I’ll probably drive the kids crazy by dragging out the VHS tape of the wedding and reception and forcing them to sit through another viewing. But, in honor of 17 years of marriage, I’m including [...]
Links Back to the Week that Was 9/28
Posted on Sep 28, 2008 by Cari McGee in Miscellaneous, Week That Was
This week was out of control – presidential debates scheduled, cancelled, scheduled again. The Dow up and down and up and even. Businesses collapsed, the government rode in to save the day, people contemplated their navels and FINALLY, it looks like they made some sort of decision this morning. Good Lord. What was that old [...]
