We all know that to reach a goal, you have to set a clear target. So, first things first: figure out exactly how much of a down payment you actually need. If you have a credit score of at least 620, you may be able to qualify for an FHA loan that only requires a 3.5% down payment. (For a $200,000 house, that’s $7,000.) Check in with your agent and mortgage broker regarding (a) whether you qualify for an FHA loan and (b) whether you’ll be able to find a property that works for yo... 08/01/2010

Chisholm Trail Festival in Yukon OK - an incredible experience.... This morning I took off and headed to Chisholm Trail Festival in Yukon OK. It was hot already. At 10AM and the temperature was in the 90's. The festival was located at the old Kilpatrick property on the corner of Vandament and Garth Brooks Blvd. Once I got there from the parking lot it was quite pleasant. Lots of trees gave people a needed relief from the relentless warmth of the sun. There was so much to see - lots of history, re-enactments, live exhibits, rides, shootouts, plays, petting zoos, souvenirs and delicious Cajun-style FOOD! It was a treat to talk to soldiers of 77th Penn Infantry, watching biscuits baking in the Dutch oven over the fire, talking with Oklahoma Territory teacher in her little school house, bla... 06/05/2010

We were leaving our vacation resort in Bandera, TX last fall and while driving I heard this lound squawking noise ... It was a hawk which was either glad or sad about our departure ... I chose to believe that he was waiving his wings to say good-bye ...  It was one of those striking scenes which lasts for a short moment and I was glad that I got to my camera in time ...   02/21/2010

Women are angels ... laugh with me   Women are Angels. And when someone breaks our wings.... we simply continue to fly ......... on a broomstick... We're flexible.... 02/05/2010
