I found some fabric of Purina chick feed. Purina also makes breakfast cereals. I played with the idea of us being fattened up just as the meat industry was fattening up our dinners.

Buyer’s Contract

I use a Buyer’s Contract when I work with a buyer. I do this so that there is an agreement that we are working together. A Buyer’s Contract assures that I will work hard.

Babs

Here I am taking Babs on a tour of condos. Eventually we found her the best place in town for her. It brings me great joy to have my buyers find their dream homes.

Realtors Construct Habitat Homes

In an older blog posting, I recounted events at the San Francisco National Association of Realtors Conference in 2005. Still relevant, here’s the article:

I just got back from San Francisco. I was there for a NAR Conference. (National Association of Realtors). I had lots of fun galivanting around with about 5000 other realtors from around the world. I got there early so I could see family and friends who live in the area.

turkeys and walnuts

My first stop was Lakeport where I had gone to see my daughter. I found her at the Casino. We drove over to her trailer where I finally met Billy the Felon. We left him at the trailer and chased away a gaggle of turkeys to collect a bag full of walnuts. I love fresh walnuts. Rachel smoked while I collected. We also ate out and picked wine grapes in the fields after the combines had passed through.

On the first day of the Conference I went with 75 other do good realtors to Livermore where we helped construct homes for Habitat for Humanity. Here are a few pictures.
