When I was growing up I always thought about the older people that needed help. I was always drawn to open a door or carry a bag.
As the years went on I was able to help some ,taking them to the grocery store, bringing items when they could not get out etc.
Then my parents got old, and sick. I was called to care for them , and I felt that some of my training was to prepare me for what was going to happen.
It did not make the dying process any easier but I knew more then I would have about the care of the elderly.
Now I find myself adopting families with children , in need. No job, no help, they have too much to be in the “system” but not enought to live on.
In these tough times take the time to bring bread and cereal to people going through hard times.
Have we forgotten how to give?

This is a great time to list your home. When listing with an agent be honest about where you are. If you are behind in your loan, let us know, we will market your home differently or give you information for a home Modification loan to try and help you stay in your home.
The information that we can give you about your home is worth your time to hire us. We have gone to the trouble to learn and be able to represent you in the selling of your home, you would not try and fix a problem with your car engine if you were not a mechanic, why would you try and sell your own home?
The market is great if you are thinking of selling your home, contact me.
Look forward to hearing from you,

I am not used to saying I don’t like the weather. I can usually find something to do even if I am snowed in, I don’t mind catching up on paper work or reading a good book.
I like the seasons and if the wheather is bad it usually does not last too long so you can get through it.
Today we had winds up to 80 mile an hour. That was too much for me.
I had to put a sign in the yard in Wellington and I am sure this was not much fun in this wind. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Although Some would say this is a good thing for wind power I would prefer that the winds would die down,
I had to put a sign in the yard today. It got done but I would rather not have to do it with the winds this strong again.

I am reading articles about money, everyone, countries included are behind in payments etc.
They have spent more than they make for a very long time. Can they stop? Can they tighten their belts and live smarter?
We all have to do this. How can we tell our children, don’t borrow this is not a good way to get started , when our government goes more and more into debt daily?
We are not setting a good example. We the people don’t approve , but the officials we have elected to place our votes don’t seem to care. I hope we all vote in new blood this next election. Only complete change can help.

My partener and I just had a very difficult closing in Wellington CO. The loan was difficult because of two kitchens in the home, Rural Housing did not want to approve this one. We continued on and got approval from another company quickly.
These buyers had good credit, loved the home and all seemed unfair. We were able to get an extention on the closing date from the sellers, with some difficulty.
The day before closing the sellers home was not going to be available until the day after closing, we agreed to something we never do, we closed and gave them until 3 PM the next day to be out of the home.
At 5 PM the next day my buyers call, no key, no sellers , stuff still in the home.
No I know better, this is my nightmare! I call the sellers agent, he was hurt moving, there is now a hole in the wall, they have agreed to fix this and at 5:45PM my buyers get the key.
Words were exchanged before I could get there and it was not a happy day for anybody. Wow. I knew better.

Tonight’s evening news talked about the foreclosure crises.
ggling and somehow keeping their payments current?
The majority of Americans asking for help won’t get it. This is a statement I am repeating. We gave these banks hundreds of billions of dollars as a bailout when they were in trouble, most of this money has been paid back., so the news tells us.
Yet they don’t want to help with the solution to help modify mortgages for some that are to loose their homes.
Another fact stated in this broadcast , 4.3 million to loose their homes this year! WOW, I hope this comes to an end soon. I have many Wellington homeowners call me for assistance and I do pray that the help that is needed comes soon.
