I did a post about Roy's Movers in Johnson City last year and need to do one again because they're still not as easy to find as they should be. Several months ago, I commented on a post by Susan Haughton about an extraordinary delivery truck driver, "Are you Ordinary - or Extraordinary? and How

ACTIVE RAIN AND GOOGLE ARE FANTASTIC PARTNERS. Almost everything I blog about goes to Google, which is · great for listings, · fun for people I mention, and · useful for organizations, events and businesses that need publicity. HERE’S A GREAT EXAMPLE OF HOW ACTIVE RA

An elderly seller and a renovations contractor had an unexpected meshing of needs, in one of my many serendipities. I remembered it recently because I am meeting other sellers who face challenges similar to hers. A related post for people anticipating the challenge of down-sizing in stressful
