WE’RE BACK FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH Bob and I spent two weeks in Antarctica this month and to say it was a trip of a lifetime is an understatement. I did, however, manage to work besides distractions from playful penguins, aggressive seals, blowing whales, calving icebergs and majestic mountains. We couldn’t help notice that even wildlife has very specific real estate requirements and honestly, they’re not that different from ours! PENGUINS: LOCATION, LOCATION…
Bobfest III marked Bob’s milestone birthday weekend in October, but there were plenty of other “fests” to celebrate along the way. As I look back on the year through my favorite photos, they reflect that in between work, I did fit in some fun, some travel and some special moments at home, a reminder of why loving where we live matters. Coldfest Started the year in Victor, Idaho where temps hit -30! The Tetons…

Good Grooming Pays Off Got to ride with a friend on the grooming snow cat at night on Baldy Mountain in Sun Valley, Idaho. What a great way to get up and down runs without worrying about my knees! Too Cold to Ski? With temps on top of Baldy Mountain…
(Finally, we’re back outside) I just love October! The month of scary decorations, pumpkin spice lattes, football craziness, Bob’s birthday and any excuse to eat my candy corn/peanut mix. The real estate market is not as scary as you think, as buyers are out looking again and sellers are finally adjusting both prices and expectations. Fall is here and so are bearable temperatures and some ROMANO FIRSTS… First Romano Kid To Get Married! We had…
