Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho & Realtor® Fathom Realty
I voted early, even hand delivered my ballot so I could get my "I Voted" sticker. I had one from the 2020 Election, which was the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment granting American women the right to vote. What about you? Have you voted? #Vote #VoteToSaveDemocracy #VotingMatters
So, many of you know that I am a Realtor® here in Boise, Idaho. Some days I am “on call” for the phone number on our website. Most of the calls are looking for the HOA of a neighborhood, but sometimes we get odd calls. Sunday was one of those calls. This gal called asking... Continue Reading →

I’ve been thinking. Yeah, I know, that’s dangerous (lol). All kidding aside, in our world, we are bombarded with the news. Not just local but national, and news that extends far away from our borders. What do you care about? Ukraine Mass shootings Lowering cost of insulin Oil & gas price gouging Veteran’s benefits Baby... Continue Reading →
I had breakfast with friends Sunday morning, and our discussion moved to being comfortable alone. That got me to thinking of how I lived pre-covid and now post-covid.
