Home Staging For You

Friday Fun…Decorations Up Yet? Thanksgiving is but a little over a week old, and I feel as if I’ve fallen behind in decorating for Christmas. YIKES! Bob "RealMan" Timm  wrote a post this week asking us if our Christmas tree had a theme. I knew from that post that I’d better get on the stick. My t...

 My Aha Moment-Don’t Wait to Step Up Many years ago, our good friend was tragically killed in a car accident. His daughter was in the front seat with him, and his wife and son were following them in her car. They saw the whole thing. We just returned from a weekend in FL. A message from a mutual ...

Zoom Assignment…Even More Fun We had more hands-on fun with Praful Thakkar using AI to create photos to enhance listings or just for fun. Our task was to create a Before and After photo using Google’s Gemini, which took us to NanoBanana.  I did not want to spend an inordinate amount of time on it...

 This Week…Leftover Dump…Yum! When I looked at the title again, it occurred to me that it might sound a little off-putting.  But, what the heck.  This is a “recipe” I shared a few years ago, and I thought it would be perfect for an after-Thanksgiving meal. My friend, Joannie, is an excellent cook...

Friday Fun…I Guess the Turkey Wasn’t The Only One Who Got Stuffed Are we all stuffed? I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving doing what you wanted to do with those you wanted to be with. We had fewer for dinner this year…22, and some who stopped by for dessert. We seemed to have an abundance of ...

Happy Thanksgiving!  When you go around your Thanksgiving table, and everyone says what they’re thankful for, what will you say? I am eternally grateful for the buffet of life I’ve been given. I’ve not always chosen wisely from the smorgasbord set before me. I cannot complain because I did have c...
