End of January cold winter blues...

Hello and welcome to my first monthly blog. I thought this might be a better way to communicate back & forth about what's happening in our household as well as keep you posted on the real estate front.

Christmas was a blast with so much activity around the house. Jessy and Dave & lauren were all home (with Isabella), and with all the holiday hoopla, we were a little exhausted to say the least when everyone left.

Kelly is trying to whip me into shape... my first week in the gym has provided me with a twisted ankle, a pulled rib, and leg muscles that are just now able to coordinate walking again. Isn't good health fun?

Real estate is still sluggish, but I've been blessed with a great finish to 2006, and a pretty nice start to 2007. Hopefully with all this buying activity, some of the old inventory will flush from the system, and allow us to get back to a real economy around here. I'm optimistic.

Golf season starts in April, so does motorcycle season... it was nice having a mild start to our winter, but it has made me a little more anxious than usual for the nice weather to get here. Soon enough I suppose.

Jessy is graduating from Western this spring, and heavily pursuing schools to complete her masters in Speech Pathology... you go girl. Dave is heading overseas in April for a month to train, and there are rumors of another Iraq deployment before summer... lets hope not.

Have I told you about my wonderful granddaughter??? :0)

See you in a few weeks
