    Good afternoon!   Since I didn't post this in the morning like usual – that pretty much tells you how my day is going…. BUSY!  I would like to say that I just slept in and that I am finally now getting around to saying hello.  But I was actually at my desk working (or at my kids dining room table as that is my new office) at 5:30 this morning and I have been going strong ever since. But it is all good!  I got an offer accepted on a listing last night, I got another offer accepted early this morning and I brought a new listing on too.  Woo hoo!  That is a GOOD day.  I am so happy for all my clients.   What do you have planned for this weekend?  I will be spending much of tomorrow in my crawl space.  It needs to be cleaned up and since I am now the one woman show – ha ha ha – I will b...

 Happy Friday, I hope that your week is ending nicely. We just had two gorgeous days -  WOW so nice after the last few months. I was reading on  the local news site that we have had the soggiest stretch of October-through-April ever recorded at Sea-Tac Airport  - we wrapped up at nearly 45" in that timeframe...the usual tally for twelve months at the airport is 37.49, so I for one am looking forward to putting the rainy season behind us. And the weather yesterday sure did hit the spot. I could take about 100 more of those days! Well minus the storms :) Enjoy the quotes and I will see you next week with some more. Until then have a super great day! …geri ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~When adversity comes, an...

   Happy Friday! They say we might have some SUN breaks today in my little corner of the world. Yippee!! Actually it hasn’t seemed as WET of late to me. Or maybe I am just so used to it I don’t notice it anymore – ha ha ha! Can you believe this is the last Friday in April. WOW, where have the first 4 months of the year gone? It sure feels more like early March to me – but then work is crazy busy and with spring coming so late I am sure both have something to do with that. Enjoy the quotes and have a lovely day! …geri ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these… It might have been. ~John Greenleaf Whittier  It is amazing how much can be accomplished if no one cares who gets th...

  Good morning!    And if the forecasters are correct we should be in store for a beautiful spring day – FINALLY! I am so over the cold and wet weather we have been enduring since last fall, thus I am quite excited about the potential for some flip flop wearing today. Woo hoo!! Do you have any big weekend plans?  I am hoping for a trip up to see the tulips? And maybe some baseball watching and some more Mariner WINS! We started rocky but the homestand was super fun. Let’s hope we can take that good mojo on the road! And how GREAT to see Ichi back in town. And then for him to go yard at his last at bat – all in ICHI fashion – what a great player!  Go Ms! Enjoy the quotes and I’ll see ya next Friday with some new ones. …geri  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...

  Happy Friday!  And can you believe it is the end of March! WOW we are already ¼ of the way thru the year. Where did those three months go. And around here I don't think it could have been any wetter! Here is to a turn in the weather soon. I am so ready for sunshine and warm temps! So far this month we have yet to break 60 degrees. Not even once! Maybe today will be the day??!!??!!  Although it isn’t feeling much like spring some of the trees are suddenly budding. And the flowers are finally starting to pop up as well. And the real sign of spring…. Opening Day! Yep the Ms start the regular season (on the road) on Monday. Here is to some great baseball this year! Go Ms! Enjoy the quotes and I will see you next week with some more. Until then have a lovely day!  ….geri  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...

  Happy Friday! WOW, can you believe that we are already through 1/3 of the month! Here is hoping that the second third of the month will begin to feel like SPRING instead of WINTER! This flip flop loving girl is pretty much over winter.  Are you ready for the weekend? I sure am… for me it will be grand as Indian Wells will be in full swing (tennis), the Ms are on TV plus it is selection Sunday – yep the tourney is about to begin!! Woo hoo I love March. We also spring ahead this weekend. So move your clocks up one hour when you go to bed Saturday night. We are really close to 12 hours of daylight a day! Yippee!!    Enjoy your day (and the quotes) and I will see you next week with some new ones. ….geri ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...

  Happy Friday! Are you ready for more snow? LOL, that is what is in our forecast.  Possible lowland snow again and up to a foot in the passes.  What is with winter???? I know technically it is still winter, but I am ready to move on to spring now. I love snow, but I like it in November, December, January and even early February. But by March, I’m ready for warmer temps, longer days, and SUN! Once baseball starts this flip flop loving girl is ready to break them out. So come on spring, you can do it!!! LOL!  I hope you have a lovely weekend and I hope you enjoy the quotes. See ya next week. …geri ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I remind myself every morning:  Nothing I say this day will teach me anything.  So if...

  Good morning!   So, how is your morning so far?  Hopefully it is just grand!  All is peachy over here in my little corner of the world.   Can you believe this is the last Friday of February?  WOW, where have the first two months of the year gone? They have flown by for me.  And did you know that the Mariner's first pre-season game is tomorrow?  Yep, the boys of summer are going to take the field.  LOL, not that I will know many of their names.  But still…  let the season begin!!   I hope to tune into the game on the radio tomorrow.  Then I will close my eyes and pretend I am sitting in the sun, in my flip flops, having a cold beer.  Insted of what I will really be doing  -  wearing jeans, boots and a winter coat.  Ahhhhh, spring/summer is coming!  Enjoy your day and your weekend and t...

     Good Morning! And what a lovely morning so far. The sun is streaming in my window, my kitty is curled up next to me, I have coffee in my cup…. Oh hell yes it is a lovely start to the day! I hope your day is starting out as nicely. Did you know that the pitchers and catchers reported to camp on Tuesday. I know for lots of folks good old Phil looking for his shadow is the first sign that spring is coming. But for me, it is hearing that spring training is underway. Woo hoo!! I am very excited for this season. I have no idea who is on our team – LOL – but I am optimistic that all the trades will pay off and that our boys of summer can finally join those boys of fall and make it to the post season!  Enjoy the quotes and I’ll see you next Friday with some new ones. …geri ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...
