For me, personally, this week was full of a-year-ago’s, because my dad passed away a year ago yesterday. I didn’t pay much attention to the world “out there” because I was struggling with a lot of internal conversations about last March. So, here’s a link back to last year’s post about last week.  Sorry.  That’s [...]

Happy Birthday, Jon!  My older brother Jon turns 47 today.  Yes, he’s much, MUCH older than I. Business is booming locally for one segment of the local economy – estate sales. 14 new homes on the way in Kennewick, increasing the total I told you about last week. Story about affordable housing, or free advertising?  [...]

On Tuesday, I was home sick with a cold, and the power went out and stayed out for a while. I’ve had the power go out in my house for a moment or two, but I haven’t been through an extended blackout for years. BIG news for Kamiakin alumni, and for anyone from Kennewick, in [...]

I hate it when I don’t find time to post during the course of a week, and so I have back-to-back Links Back posts on display.  This week was one of those weeks. Hubby was out of town, I didn’t get my workouts in, I tried to donate blood and they got the wrong vein [...]

This is a total cop-out of a post because I’m tired, have laundry to do, and am addicted to Facebook. However, big news – there might be 15,000 smackeroos heading your way if the stimulus package passes intact. And while you’re waiting to see what happens in DC, don’t fall for this scam that might [...]

Happy February! This doesn’t have anything to do with real estate directly, but it’s interesting because we have a JC Penney store at the Columbia Center mall.  And, it also shows you why I insist upon reading The Comsumerist daily.  On Thursday, The Consumerist shared this rumor about JCP closing some of its stores. But [...]

Inauguration, inauguration, inauguration…that’s all I heard about last week.  For good reason – I love it when a young family moves into the White House.  The Obama girls are going to have a blast. On to real estate – years ago, when my hubby and I were searching for our first home, I walked into [...]

Wow – I wouldn’t want to move my own stuff in if I lived here.  Waaaay too time consuming, although the view might be worth it, even if I was on a lower floor… Ouch.  Ouch, ouch, ouch – foreclosures up nationwide. Stockton, Vegas and Detroit are on the list of hardest-hit areas.  That’s one [...]
