June of 2001, twin twister sisters hit our home, horse stable and roofing business. Life is still in the "picking up the pieces" stage but no human lives were lost. Because I know from experience how quickly and how efficiently tornadoes can kill and destroy everything in its path I will continue posting about our experience to get the information out. Tornadoes are nature’s most violent storms. Spawned from powerful thunderstorms, tornadoes can cause fatalities and devastate a neighborhood in seconds. A tornado appears as a rotating, funnel-shaped cloud that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground with whirling winds that can reach 300 miles per hour. Damage paths can be in excess of one mile wide and 50 miles long. Every state is at some risk from this hazard. Tornadoes develop so r...

Northland Arboretum is hosting a "Haunted Trail" on  Saturday, October 25th and Sunday, October 26 from 7:00pm - 9:00pm.  Experience the thrills and chills as you walk through the dark woods of the Arboretum.  Young children should be accompanied by an adult.  No flashlights, please.  There will be a bonfire and cider for all.  Cost is just $3.00 at the door.  Proceeds to benefit the "Arb."   We went last night and stood in line for one hour. It was a great time of meeting old friends and making new ones.  The walk took us about 45 minutes and was really fun. Lots of screaming children, chainsaws, and goolish displays. The weather was cool but not cold - just perfect.

     Most buyers are looking for a well-maintained house in apple pie order. They will be looking to buy as much house as they can get and still leave a little dough for changes to adapt things to their personal taste.  That doesn't mean that they will be looking to dive right into major home improvements, because they won't. The down payment on your home will take most of their savings.  After the monthly mortgage payments, taxes and insurance, there is no room in their budget for major repairs. Many buyers today will not consider a house that needs remodeling and improvements. Those buyers are called flippers and need to buy property as cheaply as possible to make needed repairs and enhancements and still clear a profit. Nothing personal - it is their business.    Your house will stan...

     Barack Hussein Obama has been "delivered to us" (in the words of MSNBC's Chris Matthews) as a kind of political savior who will end our national divisions, bind up our historical wounds, and infuse us with "hope" by delivering "change."     People desperate for "change" will do regrettable things. The people of Russia wanted change from the Romanov Czars. The people of Germany wanted change from the mess of the Weimar Republic -  they ended up with Hitler.  The people of Russia wanted change from the Romanov Czars - they got Lenin and Communism.   The people of Cuba wanted change from Batista - they got Castro. Well.... change is what they got. "Be careful what you wish for" is often the most important lesson of human history.
