You have heard that a favorite celebrity will be coming to your home for dinner. You can decide to cook for them or order in or take them out. What 5 dishes would you want them to taste? They can be any part of a meal (appetizers, main dish, vegetables, salads, desserts) or all of one type (all desserts for example).

Since my husband and I our redneck southerners, here is our list.

1. BBQ – Chicken, pork or beef. We BBQ them all.
2. Brunswick Stew – This is a stew that was made by settlers that would take the “catch of the day” and make a stew out of it with vegetables. Really good.
3. Potato Salad, Coleslaw and Fried Okra and maybe, if it is in season, fresh Sweet Corn on the Cob.
4. Baked Beans
5. Strawberry Shortcake with fresh, grown in the garden

YUMMY!!!!!!!

The economy is making a slow come back and right now is the perfect time to buy cheap real estate. But, you ask yourself. What is a good way to acquire a home when you don’t want the extra expenses a Realtor charges?

Have you ever thought about a Home Sale By Owner property? Home Sale by Owner is when the home owner agrees to sale his home with out a Realtor. We have done this with a couple of our rental properties and saved a bunch on costs that we couldn’t lose. Works out great for both parties. Also helps to save money for both parties.

ForSaleByOwnerHub.com is the perfect website to find great properties for sale by owner in your area. One of the best listing sites I’ve seen in a long time. All you do is put the name of the city and state, how much you want to spend and bedrooms. So easy and very user friendly!! All the years my husband and I were flipping homes, we would look in the local paper and talk to our real estate agent. This website would’ve helped tremendously in our search all those years ago. You can also find out information about government homes for sale too.

I tried this in my area and I had no idea of all the homes in a price I would want to spend. Ton’s of information and pictures of each property to help you find that perfect property. This is the best website to find your next home at a great price.

Yea, its May!!  I love the warmer weather, the flowers are starting to bloom and more time spend outdoors.  And its also time for Weeds and Wildflowers to introduce the May version of Sweet and Simple.  Beautiful bright colors and wonderful elements to use.

Since this was Mother’s Day weekend, my mom and I went to watch my son receive his Master’s Degree at ASU and to watch him conduct his first symphonic orchestra.  It was wonderful to see family and especially to spend a few hours with my best bud.  A wonderful weekend it was.

I hope all you mom’s had a wonderful day as I did.

Take care,

Did you have a lot of friends in high school or just one or two very close friends? What did you and your friends do for fun? Are you still in contact with any of them?

I guess I had a lot of friends in high school due to Girl Scouts. The same bunch always hung around. But, my closest friend was a twin and we did most stuff together. I guess you can say we had been friends since 3rd grade. We were in scouts together, band together, a lot of our classes were together, our moms were our leaders our Senior year and hung out together and my mom fixed my friends mom’s hair until the day she moved to Florida. If I wasn’t over at their house, they were over at mine. Many sleep overs, riding around the big block, many trips, doing things we weren’t suppose to and basically just having a good time as kids.

But, as time went by after graduation, we grew further and further apart. I have seen her and her twin sister a few times since then, but we are so far apart in distance now that things are not the same and I hate that.  We know stay in touch on Facebook.   The picture above is our last day in scouts before we graduated from high school.

Just a few months ago, her mother passed away and I wasn’t able to attend the funeral, but my heart ached so badly for the family. Another part of my life was gone.

Everyone have a great weekend and call a long lost friend today,

The economy is making a slow come back and right now is the perfect time to buy cheap real estate. But, you ask yourself. What is a good way to acquire a home at a great price? Have you ever thought about Owner Financed Homes? Owner financing is when a landlord agrees to lease a home to a tenant and the tenant has an option to buy the home for a pre-negotiated price before the end of the lease. We have done this with a couple of our rental properties and then the tenant eventually purchased the home. Works out great, especially if you don’t have the down payment at that time.

OwnerFinancingListings.com is the perfect website to find Albuquerque Owner Financed Homes properties or properties in your area. One of the best listing sites I’ve seen in a long time. All you do is put the name of the city and state, how much you want to spend and bedrooms. So easy and very user friendly!!

Another painting week done with tons of yard work to get finished before I went on my weekend trip to Arkansas to my son’s graduation and concert.

This will be the last week using Simple and Sweet #4 kit by Weeds and Wildflowers.  I can’t wait to see what Gina has for us for May.

I hope you had a great week too.

Take care,
