What ever happened to knowing your neighbors? Well recently, a homegrown, old fashioned thing happened to me...a neighbor came over to borrow some eggs for baking. She really was not making homemade cookies but blueberry muffins from a box. But when you think about it this is the kind of neighborliness that used to happen a lot more in the "olden days". I remember in the neighborhood where we grew up "out in the valley" that it was common for us neighbors to borrow an item to finish a recipe. Perhaps an egg, cup of sugar or some vanilla were the most common items that we thought we still had in our pantry but forgot to stock up on afterall. And everyone we knew was quick to share. You never knew if you might be the one in need and you always felt willing to give whatever you could to he...

These are some thoughts that might make live a much happier and sucessful life. 1. Dream more while you're awake. 2. Try to make at least 3 poeple smile everyday. 3. Life isn't fair, but it's still good. 4. Life is too short to waste hating anyone. 5. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. 6. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does. 7. Make peace with the past, so you won't screw up the present. 8. Don't compare your life with others. You have no idea what their journey is all about. 9. Forgive everyone for everything. (my personal favorite). 10. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time. 11. Do the right thing. 12. Call your family often. 13. the best is yet to come, enjoy the ride. These thoughts were written by Brett Noel coaching you to Success.

Like every cloud has a silver lining, so does inflation for every home owner. Here is my point. If you bought a home 10 years ago and had a payment of $1,000.00, it was a substantial expence. The same $1,000.00 today is very manageable and not as much of a burden.That being said, keep in mind that we just came through the years with the lowest inflation in recent history. Now imagine what the same $1,000.00 will have the power to purchase in the next 10 years. Maybe a good lunch??? Seeing what the gas prices, food prices and energy prices have done in just the last year, we all can be sure that inflation is here to stay and will rage in the years to come. Here is the only viable solution for renters and buyer that are on the fence. Go out and buy a home from this depressed market at a r...

No matter what anyone says, I think this is the best time to buy a home. Here is the reasons why I advocate, NOW IS THE TIME. For one thing the inventory is high and plenty to choose from, the rates are low and they won't stay this way for ever, but the most convincing fact is that no matter how hard the Feds are trying to curb inflation, it is coming. With today's reduced prices and near all time low rates, in a few years from now, most people will look back at these times and say, "Darn, I should have bought". If you think what $1,000.00 was 10 years ago and what it is today, you can get a pretty clear picture what inflation means. You will be able to pay for today's purchase with very cheap dollars in the near future. Do not look at the home purchase just as an investment, keep in mi...

We hear Disneyland Fireworks again tonight ... like we can every night from our home here in Irvine and South OC, California. It's fun and always seems to help us feel transported from our daily activities ... taken away in our thoughts of interesting times with family and friends. My wife Christi and I live at our home in the Turtle Rock area of Irvine, South Orange County, California, about 15 miles south of Anaheim and Disneyland. It continues to be such a beautiful time of year here in South OC ... with warm nights in September.   We have some of the best weather in the world ... with warm sunshine during late summer days and Pacific ocean breezes at night.  While sitting at my home office desk ... with windows facing east ... I feel some Pacific ocean breeze washing through our hou...

One of my favorite places to visit at times during the past five years ... for about 15 to 30 minutes each time ... once about every three weeks ...  is UNIVERSITY PARK BARBERS, 18048 Culver Drive, Irvine, CA. This barbershop is located located in the University Park ... Irvine Company retail mall ... at Culver and Michelson ... and about 15 minutes from our home in the Turtle Rock area.  It's a bit of fun and good haircut at a reasonable price ... and save time too. Jim Anderson is a family man living at Lake Forest, CA ... he talks from time to time about his wife and son, who will start his junior year at Rancho Santa Margarita High School ... and involved with the marching band at school. Jim was busy today at his UNIVERSITY PARK BARBERSHOP ... enjoying the attention received last w...
