I am a retired Greater Sacramento Realtor. My career spanned 40 years beginning in 1981, and ending in 2021. MY INTERESTS & HOBBIES: In addition to family activities, I am active in a Sacramento history group, and a local Sacramento area genealogy group. I actively research several family names. I also have a special love of cooking. For several years, I worked at an international software development company, which was represented by people from all over the globe. During that time, I was fortunate enough to learn special recipes from a number of them. They include, Indian, Caribbean, Spanish, Italian, Mexican, Romanian, Hungarian, Irish, and Carolina "Low Country" recipes. I have developed a special interest in mixing certain recipes from varying ethnic groups to create unique recipes and combinations not usually seen. Another of my favorite pastimes is gardening. And, I often find myself spending hours in my garden, and wondering where time has gone! I am interested in photography and cameras. This interest began as a child, and has remained and was perpetuated in my Real Estate career, family activities, and travel. Last but not least, I enjoy travel - both foreign and domestic.

For more than a few days now, I've been reminded of that old Sinatra tune, with words, "The weather outside is frightful. . ." As reported on national news, Sacramento has been hit hard with a series of bomb cyclones, flooding and inclement weather. It has been arriving via a daisy chain of sign...

There is one thing my hungry family enjoys eating during the holidays. It is "Christmas Enchiladas."  This is a dish I conjured with a little imagination. Once I tried it out on my family (who are almost always willing guinea pigs) several years ago, it became a popular holiday staple.  Here's th...

After an early morning visit to the CalFit Health Club spa to marinate, I arrived back home as the sun was rising. We had heavy weekend rains in Sacramento. But, today it was all about the blue sky. After sipping a cup of tea with a biscuit, I went outside, and raked leaves in my backyard. A lar...

Occasionally, real estate professionals will debate the pros and cons of sharing trade secrets.Although, I am now a retired Realtor after 40 years, I remember thinking when I first entered the real estate business in November 1981 that I was entering a "cut-throat" business.This month, Debe Maxwe...

I must confess I was born under a wanderin’ star! Because of that, I often feel blessed living in Sacramento.  There are so many wonderful places to visit within a couple hours of home. I am fortunate to be within 100 miles of San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, Napa Wine Country and California Gold Count...

 I woke early this morning (4:15 am).  Too lazy to get out of bed, but too awake to return to sleep, I turned on the TV.  Today, Netflix released the movie, “Where the Crawdads Sing.” The flick centers on the life of Catherine Danielle Clark (nicknamed “Kya” also known as “Marsh Girl”). Kya is in...

One of the assets we have in the Greater Sacramento Region is the American River Parkway.  I feel especially blessed to live within a couple blocks of it.  The American River Parkway is an urban treasure, which spans 23 miles, and covers 4,800 acres.  It stretches along the American River, from O...

Temps in Sacramento have been especially pleasant. Yesterday, after finishing a gym session, my brain must have performed the equivalent of a butt dial, because instead of heading home, my car veered right, and quickly found its way onto Highway 50 headed east toward Apple Hill.Apple Hill is a pl...
