It's Fair time again!  Boonville has been flying the banners for a few weeks and I have seen the carnival people arriving over the past week as well.  Entries are starting to be due for judging - my mom dropped off her needlework a few days ago.  My beau is entering some of his vegetables this year (Ok, so I filled out the forms ...

It's that time of year when it seems everyone is having a party or there's some kind of gathering to attend.  It's fun to see everyone out and about and often dressed a little differently, perhaps with a little more flair, than the rest of the year.  Two recent events included the Boonville Big Band at Lauren's and the ...

One of the local attractions in our area is the variety of dance and music available to learn and listen to.  There are East Coast Swing lessons, West Coast Swing lesson, square dancing, Capoeira, belly dance, salsa, English Country dancing and Argentine tango (and probably others I'm missing).  Many of you know that earlier this ...

The Great Day in Elk 2010 will be history in two days, but since it's pretty much consumed my focus for the past couple of weeks, I'm still going to write about it.  The Great Day has been going on for over 30 years, a wonderful community event in the town of Elk, that brings together the local community and visitors for a day of fun, ...

The past few weeks have been busy!  I had several clients come into town to look at property and it looks like two of them have found the places they want to buy.  Have they made offers yet?  No.  And I think this is indicative of our current buyer's market.  The buyer's now know that the clock is on their side; ...

Even though the weather doesn't look like it, summer is coming and the events locally are happening rain or shine.  This weekend is the Film Festival in Mendocino.  From Friday through Sunday there are several films to see, including two that won Academy Awards.  There are also two good bands in Caspar, one with Salsa music on ...

A few days ago we had unseasonally warm weather - it was 80 degrees on my front deck.  I was able to open all the windows in the house and air it out; it was lovely.  Today and the past few days we've much more normal March weather.  Cooler mornings - it was 44 this morning at 7am at my house - days up to about 60 degrees and a ...

You know how you can live in a place and still not take advantage of all that there is to offer?  For years I lived in San Francisco, but other than the first trip to Alcatraz when I was a freshman at USF I never went there again.  Well, this past weekend I took a walk for the first time on the Haul Road in Fort Bragg.  What a ...

To get a license to practice real estate in the state of California you have to take three classes and pass a test.  To become a REALTOR one has to do that and sign a Code of Ethics.  One thing I want to point out is that in our local area we are very fortunate - almost every one practicing real estate is also a REALTOR - something like ...

We often get this little break in the weather in February that reminds us that Spring is coming.  It's been beautiful - in the 70's at my house and 59 this morning early.  I hope it was beautiful wherever you are also. Things continue to be on a better course in the real estate world.  Looking at the recent activity, ...
