Memories of Halcyon: A Love Letter to My Childhood Home''HALCYON DefinitionA period of time in the past, that was happy and peaceful.I’d like to tell a story about my HALCYON days. My parents bought this property five months before I was born. So I lived here all my life until I went off to college. Then soon after that, I married, but did not move too far.''   My early recollections are of being outside all the time playing in the spring, summer, and fall, and sledding in the winter time.

And many things to be thankful for making the entire day a success. Think about the planning, inviting, the cleaning, and getting ready the guest rooms. Think about the shopping, prepping, cooking, setting the table, finding the extra seating, dressing, and greeting each person.It is about the timing and getting the food in front of everyone while still hot and enjoying each other.The tradition is often that each person gets a turn to state what they are thankful for the year. This year our host, at the head of the table, spoke to and about each family member and guest. He spent time telling a story about the person and sharing what ... 11/26/2021

John Meussner asked the following: 'OUTSIDE OF required continuing education, how often and what type of education or training do you pursue?' And here is my response:I go ahead and sign up for just about every class that looks the least bit interesting. If my schedule permits, I will take the course. ( if it's good, I stay till the end, if not, I leave) I read every interesting RE article I can get my hands on. Always have more CE credits than needed. I call anyone who seems to know more than me and ask questions. Each phone call with professionals is a way of learning and staying up with so many topics. Each RE transaction is like taking another course...always something to learn. I stay in touch with former trainers from Floyd Wickman, Mike and Mary Pallen, and Gary Sisson. I belong ... 10/21/2021
