Real Estate Search Sites Coming Around Nicely

The new real estate search sites for Seattle Homes and Eastside real estate are really coming around nicely. It's great to be able to go to one page and see how many homes are listed for sale in each city/town in the area. Want to know how many homes are listed for sale in Bellevue? How about Seattle? Tacoma? Take a quick visit.

I really like what Steven Chris has done (he is especially good at SEO) in a short period of time.

Hair Farming Isn't for Everyone, But ....

Some of you might not know that I have become a Hair Farmer. I am growing my hair for Locks of Love to donate to a child who has lost theirs.

The goal is to not only grow my own, but also recruit 999 other people to grow their hair out to make an important difference in a very difficult time for some very unfortunate and deserving kids. Are you up to it? Will you become a Hair Farmer too?

Senior Driver

This is one of the many great funnies that my friend Ray Hironaka has sent me from Honolulu, Hawaii. At least it made me laugh ...

Senior Driver by GRANDMA

The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a "Honk if you love Jesus" bumper sticker.


I was feeling particularly sassy that day, because I had just come from a thrilling choir practice followed by a powerful prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.

I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is, and I didn't notice that the light had changed.
It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus; because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed.

I found that LOTS of people love Jesus. Why, while I was sitting there, the nice man behind started honking like crazy, and he leaned out of his window and screamed, "for the love of God, GO! GO!" What an exuberant cheerleader he was for the Lord.


Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people.


I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love. There must have been a man from
Florida back there, because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach. I saw another man waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. When I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant, he said that it was an Hawaiian good luck sign or something.


Well, I've never met anyone from
Hawaii , so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back.


My grandson burst out laughing; why even he was enjoying this religious experience.


A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me.



I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So I waved to all my sisters and brothers, smiled at them all, and drove on through the intersection.



I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again, and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out of the window, and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.


Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!
