The days are sunnier and warmer. And even when the sun isn’t shining, the rain has been warmer! Life is just so good at the beach.
Just for fun – how do you like these photos? Would you buy one of these listings? I just love it when I find one of these photo-bloopers. Have you got any to share?

Thanks to the Chinook Observer and Nancy Butterfield for the great article in the business section. We’re excited to be in our own office, working for buyers and sellers everyday! And thanks to all our great customers, clients, business associates and friends for making our dream come true!
It just doesn’t get any better than this. Sunshine, blue skies, light breeze… This is what we live for! Took advantage of it on Sunday to putter in the yard but the weather was just too great to ignore the fact that my MG was sitting quietly in the shop, battery on trickle charge, waiting for me. So, I hopped in and took off. Stopped in Long Beach for the Peninsula Art Association Art Show! What a fantastic display. I even made a purchase for my new office. The photographer is my friend, George Power. What a good eye. 
So, after that I cruised up 103 to Ocean Park for a latte and my very favorite chocolate covered biscotti at Full Circle Cafe. Feeling very cheerful, I decided it was time to head home and mow the lawn. The car, being British, didn’t see it my way and I only made it about 4 blocks before it stopped and refused to stay running more than 30 seconds at a time.
Since Charlie was away for a vintage car race in California – Sears Point – I whipped out my trusty AAA card, spent 1-1/2 hours relaxing while I waited for the tow truck and still got home in time to mow the lawn!
But, enough about me. How about some clam dates?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Can you believe it’s the end of October? And the weather has been more than kind to us. Remember to set your clocks back an hour Saturday night. Finally get to make up for that lost hour way back in the Spring.
Won’t you be glad when the election is over? No more ads, negative or otherwise. No matter who wins, it could be good news for real estate. Election years are often hard on sellers. Now, if we can just get that pesky stock market to cooperate!
Been an exciting week so far. Tuesday night was the fantastic Friends of Chinook School fundraiser. Since my friend, Nan, does such a great job blogging about it, I’m not going to try and duplicate it. You will find a picture of me and Charlie if you visit her blog: SEAVIEWWA. She also has the info you need about tonight’s progressive Halloween party at the Depot and Shelburne. I’ll be there for sure!

October wasn’t the hottest month for real estate sales here at the beach. Six residential and five vacant land sales for the entire month. These links are where you can find listings and sales since my last post. If you’re ever curious about any of them, let me know. The map is the link to off-peninsula properties. The links are good for 30 days.
