This weather has spurred some "Spring" cleaning. While posting on another AR blog I remembered Cindy Bryant's post, "Staging Under the Bathroom Sink - AR Contest". It was a great contest.    Many vowed to take a look at their sinks. I even did... but since then it has gotten cluttered again and needs a good cleaning. This is going to be accomplished later today. I thought about taking a picture of my but I am too embarrassed to post that mess.    Instead I have decided to post what I would like my under sink cabinet to look like.   If you are ready to become a home onwer and discover some of your own bath room under sink cabinets be sure to call Sussie Sutton to show you some today!   11/08/2014

Today is National Cappuccino Day!   Did you ever wonder where cappuccino came from? Not me. However, it better be there when I am ready to drink it on a cold and frosty morning!    I read up on cappuccino and I found that the word comes from the the Italian Capuchin Catholic friars. The word Capuchin means hood or something that is worn on the head.   The hot drink itself is named cappuccino not for a hood or head covering...but for the brown color of the friars hooded robes.   Cappuccino, an Italian drink, is made from espresso, hot milk, and steamed-milk foam.   Do you know what is as satisfying as indulging in a hot cappuccino? It is that satisfying feeling you get when your REALTOR Sussie Sutton has just shown you the house you will live in the rest of your life! Call her today! 11/07/2014
