Where's the Turn Around?

I have not seen any signs of the real estate market turning around locally. All of the property and houses that have been for sale around me are still for sale. The house next door went into foreclosure and is now listed for $250 thousand. That is really amazing, the price is 100 thousand less than it sold for before the bubble in 2001. My friend was telling me about Corolla foreclosures and says they are higher than ever. I hope the market changes soon.

So Long, Teddy

I heard the news that Teddy Pendergrass passed away from colon cancer. For those of us who are a certain age, it is sad news. He had a wonderful, soulful voice before his tragic accident. He was at the pinnacle of his singing career when he was paralyzed in an accident. He had a tough life and was only in his 50's when he died. RIP Teddy.

Finally, a Break

I am so happy that the frigid weather is leaving us. It is supposed to be close to 60 today. I am so tired of staying in the house that I may sit outside on the deck and soak up some sunshine this morning before it disappears. We are supposed to drive over to gulf shores today to pick up some things for Steve. I think that I may send him by himself so that I can enjoy the day.
