Chicago's Magnificant Mile
This was the view from my hotel room in Chicago. There’s a lot to be said for getting away for a few days now and then.
Lovell's Main Street (aka home sweet home)
This is a view taken across from Western Sugar facing East toward the Big Horn Mountains. There’s even more to be said for appreciating what you have when you come home
I had the privilege last week of going to Chicago to attend the National Association of REALTORS Practitioner Standards Training Seminar. REALTORs are bound to a strict Code of Ethics and we have internal enforcement of that code through the REALTOR association. The training is geared toward education of the Code of Ethics and maintaining consistent and fair enforcement policies to settle disputes among members of the REALTOR family. I am thrilled to be part of a very efficient team responsible for Practitioner Standards here in Wyoming. The information was very useful and I’m looking forward to implementing some of the suggested ideas.
School is beginning across the nation and families are all in the process of outfitting their children with the mandatory backpacks, paper, pencils and so much more. We can help out by donating items or cash to the schools to be disbursed as needed. Sometimes families can use a little extra help. We’re bringing you the opportunity to provide that help.
Johnson Home and Land has joined other local Real Estate offices, Banks and Title Companies to sponsor a local School Supplies Drive. All of the Real Estate offices are DROP OFF locations for this drive. 100% of all supplies and monetary donations will be split equally between School Districts #1 and #2. Stop in and help out!
Hurray! The latest study out says it’s now GOOD to drink COFFEE! While many of us have been drinking it anyway, at least now we don’t have to feel guilty anymore. Coffee is looking more and more like a HEALTH DRINK! New research shows coffee may reduce the risk of heart attack, diabetes, gallstones, kidney stones, Parkinson’s disease, and cirrhosis. Those of us that enjoy waking up to the delicious aroma and taste of our morning coffee can feel very righteous since we’re cutting all of these health problems. There is only one drawback: black coffee may lead to thinner bones, especially in women, so add milk to your coffee and enjoy!
One World One Dream is the theme for the 2008 Summer Games. The opening ceremony kicked off at 8:08 on 8/8/08. I’m not superstitious and I don’t know that there is any significance to this….but it sounds to me like a good excuse to throw a party. Ok…not really a party but at least a backyard Bar B Q with some friends. Enjoy tuning into the games at home in the evenings or use the link above to follow your favorite athletes throughout the week.
One of my favorite wildlife animals has to be moose. We are lucky to have a lot of them on the Big Horn Mountains. My family and I enjoy going out in the evenings and watching for these beautiful and majestic animals. They are always much larger than I am expecting. Last year we had a young moose run through our camp and it stayed around eating grass for quite a while and we all got to take as many pictures and just watch him close up. I received an email message from one of my cousins of a video of twin baby moose playing in a sprinkler. It has to be one of the cutest things I have seen! Take a couple of minutes, relax and watch the video, then take a drive up on the Big Horn Mountains, or over to Yellowstone and see one and if you get a picture of it, email it to us here at the office, we will post it on the website!
Here is the video!
