Contact a Realtor or a local
Appraiser to have them compare your home with those that have
sold recently and those homes similar to yours on the market
now. We'll tell you what you need to know; not necessarily
what you may want to hear. We won't buy your listing with
a high price, we'll price your listing to sell in a fair amount
of time at the highest price possible. Let us show you how that's done...
We are gathering names and
addresses for active duty soldiers in the hope that we will be

This year I promised myself to spend more
time in the garden. So far, not so good. The truth is I promised myself to grow
enough plants to be able it to be called a garden. I love
climbing plants of all kinds and colors; but I am not a fan of
trellises as they almost always seem to topple over. A
Pergola is the answer and provides a shady place to sit too.

...Straight
From the
Horses
Mouth.........What
does the
phrase mean
"I got it
straight
from the
horses
mouth?” It
means you
have
privileged,
'inside'
information.
It derives,
I think,
from racing,
in which one
might get
the likely
winner 'from
the horse's
mouth'
Or from the
fact that a
horse's age
can be
deduced by
looking at
its teeth
(which is
why it's bad
manners to
"look a gift
horse in the
mouth"). If
somebody
tells you
the horse's
age, well,
maybe it's
true and
maybe it's
not. But the
answer you
get from the
horse's
mouth is
reliable.
So, The news you will see here will
be what I consider to be "inside,
reliable information" It won't
always come from the same horse source.
The information won't usually be coming
from this Horse's (Marti Steed) Mouth;
but from those whom I respect and feel
are telling the plain truth with an
educated point of view.

Running for Congress in the 20th

Republican primary congressional
candidate
Alexander "Sandy" Treadwell
has distanced himself from President
Bush by criticizing the administration's
energy policy.......In a recent
interview, he also laid blame on Capitol
Hill, saying Congress for decades, under
both Republican and now Democratic
control, failed to set a long-range
energy policy. Ron and I
have known Sandy for 12 years. We
believe his message and respect his
commitment. What Sandy says is directly from "The Horse's Mouth!" Here
is why he is running for Congress......
