Slide Muddling through Middle Age

Man, Woman, Warriors, Love

Golden Memories

Man, Woman, Warriors, Love

Home Sales and Staging

All the World's a Stage. Now My House is Too

Home sales and staging

“Oh, your house is so beautiful.” “Oh, you have such beautiful taste.” Yes, the “beautifuls” were dropping like bombs as the realtor and his “assistant” toured our home. “We’ll have no trouble selling it,” he assured us. “Homes like this are selling well above list price all over the Bay, and with a view like
