I’m losing faith…..
What, Me Be Honest?
It’s one thing for America to go through troubled economic times, but when our elected leaders are corrupt I just can’t find it in myself to watch the news. I long for simpler times of life when Mad Magazine was my main source of entertainment. I think I’ll head to the bookstore and subscribe again….

Several nights of spring storms have kept Iowans up late this week. It seems as though everything is running about a month behind this year. I wondered if spring would ever get here.. now we are experiencing our April showers all the way into June! Now we have flooding to deal with in Des Moines. Stay alert and DRY this week! 
Ahhh the end of the month! Many buyers choose to close near the end of the month when purchasing a home. There are reasons to close at other times of the month (less competition for closing times with your lender for one) but it seems that even REALTORS® look for that magic “month end” date when writing an offer. As a result, this weeks statistics show an increase in closed properties.
I have said that until I felt that I had found “my blog voice” that I would not jump into the blogging arena.
