I was thinking the same thing. Where did the dog come from?

or a couple of ladies who want to come and visit a couple of times a year.

Diversification is key.

Other than that, buying the cheapest house in the best neighborhood does increase the odds of coming out smelling like a rose.

Yup,that's exactly what I had.And I forgot to mention that both before and after I sold nicer houses than mine had been torn down and replaced by McMansions.

I always thought she was better looking than Loni. She had a girl next door look.

I think they have been voting “Mr. Howell” for the last 20 years.

“But if it was only a 3 hour tour, why did the Howells take along all those clothes?”

Not to mention all the cases of “bubbly”.

....Ok, that part I get. But not the clothes.

I thought about that too. Or, maybe someone dropped it off at the island. Seems pretty odd to me.

Property owners have every right to do that but I hate to see it, modern house designs don’t appear to involve anyone who has a good grounding in scale, proportion and overall design. They just max out the building envelope with a box, then add gables here or there, and tack on decoration in this or that “style.” They’re an eyesore in old neighborhoods of generally well designed houses that sit comfortably on the lot and within the neighborhood.

Since I read the article, I suspect it was on one of his annual trips to Cairns........

David travels to Cairns once a year to complete a grocery shop – picking up essentials like olive oil and rice and luxuries like gummy bears and mars bars.

“You only lose in the stock market if you sell your shares for less than what you paid for them.”

Is that true for all that wallpaper some folks have on their walls??

Yep. Baily was cute. I think she was married to James Brolin for a while.
