This corner will be an area where many students will get their little hands in the dirt!!!

It has been way too long since my last post here. The real estate market on the main line is heating up. More houses are on the market every day and it seems the sellers are understanding the situation and pricing their houses reasonably.

I just had a buyer loose out on a home which was on the market more than 150 days. Another offer showed up just days before we were able to make our offer. The sun is coming out from behind the clouds.

The 6th grade had their choral performance a week or so ago and it was a lot of fun. They even did peter piper and a Beatles tune -- how modern!! or are we just getting that old. I did watch "Help" the other night with my girls and it still had enough zany quality to it to hold their interest and confuse them with what was happening. " Why are they skiing now? " " Why are they in the Bahamas now? " all valid questions. Definitely this one is worth another viewing. I can't wait to watch "Yellow Submarine" with them.
