Very sweet and talented lady.  In ancient Greece, Isis was an Egyptian Goddess.  But for the older lady who heard Isis was coming into her gated community, it caused all sorts of commotion and a cancelation...

                Tell Me About You?

                Tell Me About You? By the 4th hour, my family was not happy and Sam who just turned 26, reverted to age 6.  It all started out well.  I did some light research and found one of the best restaurants. We were all exhausted when we got to the Eden at the Rimrock in Banff.  It... Read More

                Errors in Judgment First things First. This Jeff’s Journal is longer than usual.  The reason why is I’m writing this on Friday morning sitting at PBI going through absolute madness.  Yup, we got to the airport at 3:45 am for a 6:00 am flight to the Great White North... Read More

                Buyer’s Walk Through

                Buyer's Walk-Through   I’ve only had one cavity in my 55 years on planet earth. You’d think my dentist, Dr. Shelby Trail, would give me a plaque (not the sticky form of bacteria on your teeth) for such a great achievement.  Instead, there is ominous doom and gloom. See,...

                What in a Home Matters to Dad?

                What in a Home Matters to Dad? My father doesn’t give house hunting husbands much attention.  As a matter of fact, he politely asks the house hunting husband to sit in the back seat of the car. I could be wrong, but I don’t think that my dad is an activist championing for... Read More

                The Green Jacket I opened up the closet door to the vacant room. There she stood all by herself, glowing and glistening in green.  Rarer than the flawless Rockefeller Emerald.
