<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Time flies. It's 2014 and we/I haven't posted since May of
2011. Amazing! Life has gone on. Here we are...still working; still
enjoying the family. More babies have been born. And
we are three years older. Whatever!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I won't even make an attempt to capsulize
life in between our last post and this one. It would be impossible so I will
start with current events...like our Christmas gathering from this past
December. Our four adult children, their spouses and their TEN children all
descended upon our house in Greensboro. We had joyful anticipation as
their arrival date(s) drew near. Joyful. And scared. The kids range from age 8
down to 6 months, and four of them are three! Let's make that even
clearer...SIX of them were/are under age 4!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So here's Part 1 of several posts with some
shots that make our hearts sing and remind us of the absolute chaos that
reigned!</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

It seems that I/we always have a camera card full of pictures that come from a relatively new Nikon camera that can amazingly take about 400 pictures a minute.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>That probably is an exaggeration but it does have the capability of snapping a picture every few seconds.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>A good feature I guess but it means that we have a gazillion pictures to examine, tweak, keep or delete when we get home. <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">And that takes time. Something that seems to elude us the older that we get!<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Granted we’re still juggling many balls…a business, a home that seemed to become larger when Dick fired our “cannot-clean-without-breaking-anything” cleaning lady; trips to see our growing cache of grandchildren;, etc….but all the new technological devices and communication avenues that we now have available to enable all of us to “stay in touch” are now things that have to be updated. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>My email inbox this morning has something 300+ new messages.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Thinking about reading and answering them will take the better part of my day today. Ugh…Sometimes it’s easier to stay home than it is to go away on vacation! And posts on Sherckle to document that vacation are something…for me anyways…that can take 2-3 hours to accomplish. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">When comparing myself to others from yesteryear I was beginning to think that I wasn’t very good at multi-tasking…. until it occurred to me that my mother did not have…much less know about….a blog, a website, an email inbox, a voicemail, an iPad or an iPod.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>She would probably think that a Droid was a supernatural being from a science fiction movie, and that something called “Facebook” would be a compound word that needed to be hyphenated and perhaps was a publication about faces. I’m sure that if she was alive today or suddenly came back that she would be totally perplexed about the new technology, and I’m certain that she too would find that all of our new modern age advantages would eat up virtually all of her 24-hour days!<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">I have decided to stop beating myself up about my lack of posts on our Sherckle blog but I do deem the thing to have value as it helps me to chronicle our busy lives. We’re fortunate because we have many joys in our family, and many blessings.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>And I think that it’s always good to share more positive things in this world, even if there are long spans between posts. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>So while I may not get to answer an email, or keep an updated status on Facebook, I’ll post…. when I can…. the little happenings in the Sarine & Dunlap families. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>That, I’m sure, my mother would like!<o:p></o:p></p>Dick and Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08411136504134641073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4986969046225601915.post-51837951456938820262010-12-12T18:37:00.008-05:002010-12-12T19:10:55.812-05:00Sarine's Annual Christmas Treat!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRz3gnuYCf2tMaQgh9ox2KUbkWBasQXIds_dRF6O_heDVpD2kg2O3DjKvUD0SjPOpBFhXizLbXOX2kxRSrdgMG9lXCTqUiVHoEtynurjkH0stZQGopraFMk1FEqDHTUS3QbbFwZl5rzTk/s1600/Bread+Makin%2527+004.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549952276628880226" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRz3gnuYCf2tMaQgh9ox2KUbkWBasQXIds_dRF6O_heDVpD2kg2O3DjKvUD0SjPOpBFhXizLbXOX2kxRSrdgMG9lXCTqUiVHoEtynurjkH0stZQGopraFMk1FEqDHTUS3QbbFwZl5rzTk/s400/Bread+Makin%2527+004.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwcv2r7TnyiIxG0ebZ9v8JrsDeggM6WqG_e2B_3GiaUgynY0TKRW6yUG2C9MtsIZCPRouPoamODtRTMvsQDZCv9Nw0VgpdxiS0KDLb-wOysPUxkRFC4vzpU8H0upgRfVML_vf3KkH_RbA/s1600/Bread+Makin%2527+004.jpg"></a></div><p></p><p></p><br /><div>Ok, so we have failed at being attentive bloggers this year! Lots of things have happened...babies were born; trips were taken to see these babies and work happened! We'll post more about all of those but the important stuff right now involves a recipe for our near-famous raisin bread that we've been making at holiday time for 35 years.<br /></div><div>It all began one year when the government was raising the cost of stamp from 10 to 13 cents and I refused to put a 13-cent stamp on an envelope that was being delivered to our friends in our neighborhood in NY. So I had the brilliant idea that it would be cool to deliver the Christmas cards with a freshy-baked loaf of cinammon raisin bread. </div><br /><div></div><div>That first year we might have made 15 loaves. The next year we (I) had to make more so that Dick could take some to his co-workers. The number increased every year! A couple of years later Dick took over the task and has continued to make his his (our) infamous bread every December. When we moved to North Carolina in 1992 we packaged and mailed bread back up to our NY family & neighbors that first year. After that they were sent the recipe...which we are happy to share with you below, as we are never quite sure what the loaves look or taste like after traveling that far!</div><br /><div></div><div>Yesterday, Dick had to meet a young couple expecting their first baby to deliver one of the confortable club chairs/baby gliders that we sell. The first batch of raisin bread had just come out of the oven and he took a loaf to the office to give them when they picked up their chair. He got this email this morning: "<em>The bread was DELICIOUS! We just had it warm with some butter and apples! Perfect for a cold morning. My husband said- we can always buy another chair but this bread is priceless! Thank you so much."</em></div><br /><div></div><div>So here it is...Happy baking...it's a great family tradition!</div><div></div><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div align="center"><strong>SARINE'S CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD<br /></div></strong><br /><div>Ingredients:<br /><br />5 cups water<br />1 stick butter<br />¾ cups honey<br />3 pkgs Fleischmann dry yeast<br />5 lbs flour<br />1 large box raisins<br />5 teaspoons salt<br />3 large eggs<br />Mixture of cinnamon & sugar – approx. 2 cups<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">1. Bring to a boil the water, honey, butter and salt. Pour into a very large bowl (you will be using this bowl to knead the bread) Let cool to approx. 110 degrees (could take 20-30 minutes at room temp) if the water is too hot it will kill the yeast!<br />2. Add yeast to the bowl and stir briskly with a whisk until dissolved. Wait for the yeast to “explode” – bubbles up – 1 to 10 minutes depending upon temp of water<br />3. Add three eggs and beat with a whisk again<br />4. Pour in a large box of raisins and mix well<br />5. Sift about 1/3 of the flour into the bowl and mix well with a whisk.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:85%;">6. Gradually sift the rest of the flour into the “brew”, switch to using a large spoon until it is too thick and then start kneading the mixture with your hands….Dough will be liquidly at first but will gradually become firm – you may want to grease your hands with a little shortening or butter to avoid the mixture sticking to your hands.<br />7. Keep kneading and folding the dough until the mixture is the same consistency throughout – usually at least 15 minutes (very good exercise) I usually put the bowl on the floor on a towel…easier on the back and you can apply more pressure.<br />8. Pour the mixture out of the bowl, clean the bowl, and spray with non-stick spray and then return to the bowl.<br />9. Cover the bowl with a damp dish towel and let stand for about 1 hour or until the mixture rises above the edge of the bowl. Again, depending upon room temp, this time can vary quite a bit.<br />10. While waiting, prepare 6-7 bread pans with liberal amounts of Pam or similar spray.<br />11. After the dough has risen, punch the dough down and knead again for about 5-10 minutes<br />12. Roll the dough into a log shape on a floured surface. Cut dough into 6-7 equal pieces (depends upon the number and size of the loaf pans you have)<br />13. Take each of the section and (one at a time) roll out like a pizza to 1/8 to ¼ inch thickness.<br />14. Take about 3-5 tablespoons of cinnamon sugar and spread evenly on the rolled dough (Do not spread the cinnamon/sugar mixture all the way to the edges of the dough as it will prevent the dough from sticking together in the next step).<br />15. Roll the dough into loaf and pinch and fold in the ends to help stop sugar from coming out during baking<br />16. Put each loaf into a pan, cover all pans with a damp dish towel and let rise for 30-45 minutes (it should rise at least an inch or two)<br />17. Put into pre-heated 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until golden brown on top (you can tell when the bread is done by tapping on the top and it sounds a little hollow)<br />18. Take bread out of the pan and place on a cooling rack & brush melted butter on the top of the loaf (makes the crust soft)</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:85%;">19. You can freeze the bread or eat all the loaves at one sitting…it makes great toast and I’ve heard that it also makes great French toast.

In pink is my mother-in-law, Helene Marie Trappen Sarine, Dick's lovely mom, and then mine...Frances Louise Staats Fenton (at the top in blue), ....both pictured at our wedding back in February of 1970. </div><div> </div><div>My mother was raised in upstate New York. In addition to attending to the needs of us kids she loved studying and learning about life. She believed and instilled in us the power of positive thinking, a philosophy of life that was nearly unheard of in the 1950's. Marion, as she was called, was often found tending to her beautiful flower gardens or helping friends in the community.</div><div> </div><div>Dick's mom was born in Michigan and at some point moved, married and lived in suburban Madison, New Jersey. I hardly ever remember seeing her dressed in anything other than a dress complete with an apron. She was a kind, generous; devoted to her family. I always say that if you want to know what Helene was like you have to look no further than at one of her children for she raised each and every one of them is a mirror image of her personalty.... patient, pleasant, personable and giving.</div><div> </div><div>These two fine ladies lived lives that were worlds apart and yet they shared the fabulous badges of honor of being fine, fine mothers. They have been phsically gone from us for many years but we feel them with us still. Happy Mother's Day to our Moms!</div><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div></div></div>Dick and Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08411136504134641073noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4986969046225601915.post-84805465286555162512010-01-09T16:15:00.012-05:002010-01-09T16:55:18.130-05:00Boxes & Boxes of Slides!Dick and I finally purchased a slide scanner around Christmas time and our spare time since has been spent going through several hundred slides and converting them to digitals that could be downloaded for everyone to enjoy! Below you will see many pictures of what my parents called their "middle three"....my two brothers...Al & Bud and me...who was sandwiched age-wise between those two guys. My only sister Joan and my older brother Roger were already married when these were taken; and our youngest brother..Jim was not yet thought of!<br /><br />And because I am still blog-illiterate and can never figure out how to space picture descriptions to coincide with the picture you will see some of the following people below: Al & Bud getting ready to cross-country ski across a frozen Lake Eaton to our camp; my <strong>favorite</strong> great-aunt "Aunt Sally" with my mother and me overlooking some Adirondack beach; Al at the guys hunting camp (<em>I was always ticked as a kid that females were not allowed during the November Hunting Camp!);</em> Me in a two-piece bathing suit where I am apparently losing my top!; Christmases where I got a doll carriage and another dish set. I think my first precious niece, Cindy is the baby in that picture; Some wonderful pictures of our horses...Blackie and then our mare Ginger with her brand-new foal, Star. There's only one of my brother Jim in this group...where he's riding his go-cart bike! More to come Jim!<br /><br />As you can see we/I were blessed to lead an idealic childhood...one that has only been fully appreciated as an adult. Thanks Mom & Dad! Miss and love you more than you know!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTlaaHvz7eTjZi87FgRoBXzIVFRBVBl8r21YJHywJpF3Yl6G6m6udRDbrXRQzIMompKHi6PKVp9-H_vRik2rtLQVKppdnoeUAsn8wzEVFmFsn9mNy5S1Pou_mT1a_-wQGIdHFddrdNxD4/s1600-h/Copy+of+zzSlide0005.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424854208508486146" style="FLOAT: left;

May you be happy; May you be healthy; May you live your life with ease.” Buddhist TeachingYesterday was one of those days where I spent a great deal of time in the car going from one appointment to another. I sometimes change the XM radio channel from music to talk radio….particularly the Broads…they are hysterical & talk sometimes about things that are typically not discussed on the air waves. When they’re not on I might hit the Oprah Channel.<br /><br />(<em>Bear with me now ‘cause I am going someplace meaningful with this…)</em> There are days when I could listen to XM talk radio and not hear a thing…nothing that hits me or is inspirational. But I must have had my ears on yesterday because every time I got in the car there was something on that made me want to stay right there…”Oh, dang!…I have to get out of the car to go into the client’s house??? You have to be kidding me…I’m going to miss this…and that??? “<br /><br />Dr Oz was on Oprah's XM Channel 156 and was interviewing Marci Shimoff….someone whose name I didn’t know but believe that I have seen on TV several times. I’m certain that I have heard interviews with her before but never really HEARD her premise until yesterday. The snippets that I caught on the radio were enough to make me Google the Oprah XM channel when I got home to try figure what was on yesterday and to somehow find out who this person was.<br /><br />I found it!!!! …. and then spent the bulk of last evening Googling ‘Marci Shimoff’…listening to her radio interviews, taking page upon page of notes, etc.<br /><br />I believe that it has tremendous value for each of us in our business and in our personal lives. See if you don’t agree… click on <a title="http://www.cnbc.com/id/22672284" href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/22672284">www.cnbc.com/id/22672284</a><br /><br />And if this site caught your attention the way it did mine here are two additional websites in the same vein that have additional information and will continue to inspire…. It’s a radio interview so you’ll need about ten minutes of peace & quiet to listen to it…. <a title="http://www.askliz.com/radio_mshimoff.html" href="http://www.askliz.com/radio_mshimoff.html">www.askliz.com/radio_mshimoff.html</a> .... and a blog…<a title="http://www.inspiremetoday.com/gail/2009/04/blessings-to-you" href="http://www.inspiremetoday.com/gail/2009/04/blessings-to-you">www.inspiremetoday.com/gail/2009/04/blessings-to-you</a><br /><br />Good information like this that has positive value needs to be passed on… and I have, probably to the dismay of some of you that get my emails and check out the various ways that we/I commun icate with the outside world. I put it on my Facebook page, sent it on to our wonderful SSI designers and now figured that our blog was a great place further broadcast what the world needs to hear today and everyday.<br /><br />Hope your Saturday and your weekend is a great one!Dick and Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08411136504134641073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4986969046225601915.post-22675844018518017272009-09-28T19:38:00.002-04:002009-09-28T19:42:37.564-04:00What We've Been Doing for the Past Few Months...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFj4iRKHgOICzZWSPGuu21TpBWCAvnrB7vJE7dDqr2OMMhB4gqjDS0sfZpXj6UB1oQh_ScaVScKgU6Xqs1Z9Si68brRRv4vNunovyaWtSrkHPzaYDbZwwPb6ZeyejkQW_SJalUfbxJ6uQ/s1600-h/chic+chateau+logofinal+small.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386667869980863810" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 274px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 274px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFj4iRKHgOICzZWSPGuu21TpBWCAvnrB7vJE7dDqr2OMMhB4gqjDS0sfZpXj6UB1oQh_ScaVScKgU6Xqs1Z9Si68brRRv4vNunovyaWtSrkHPzaYDbZwwPb6ZeyejkQW_SJalUfbxJ6uQ/s320/chic+chateau+logofinal+small.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Check out <a href="http://www.thechicchateau.blogspot.com/">http://www.thechicchateau.blogspot.com/</a> if you wondering what we've been doing with our spare time in the last three months!

Summer 2009Amazing that so much time can pass so quickly since our last post! Our lives seem to get busier the older we get & one month rolls into the next! We took some time over July 4th to visit our summer camp in the Adirondacks on Lake Eaton...a secluded family haven that's provided a beautiful vacation spot for four generations of the Fenton side of the family<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr4sm3IfPWN8jNa7wWLiRbzq3_6YSD4vAOJF_lWqZV5Yh5V0uZkFWIwf43wT2Gw78tgzl427sJcmN8Bs-SX46HG55Alax9fwvaJnMa41DN2vfZNXdk4SwDaaEtHS507sSzcDDhBHZCHIY/s1600-h/Family+Picture+July+2009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385764455607498930" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr4sm3IfPWN8jNa7wWLiRbzq3_6YSD4vAOJF_lWqZV5Yh5V0uZkFWIwf43wT2Gw78tgzl427sJcmN8Bs-SX46HG55Alax9fwvaJnMa41DN2vfZNXdk4SwDaaEtHS507sSzcDDhBHZCHIY/s320/Family+Picture+July+2009.JPG" border="0" /></a>. Many who know us are aware that there are no roads around to lake to reach our camp... the only mode of transportation to and from (other than by foot) is via boat. <div>Electricity is provided by solar panels and a 12 volt system. Telephone cables were dropped on the lake bottom only twenty years ago and indoor plumbing arrived about the same time.</div><div> </div><div>Dick and I had not been to camp in about 15 years so this was not only a vacation but a journey back in time. As much as the 'outside' world has changed, the surrounding area in the Adirondacks remains pristine and virtually untouched! As you'll see there were many happy family moments!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKcvi5V9RVmWOCFhgf0KIvFe0Vwsb6IhXK1FMRXjWzhw7eHZRhXHyKBPMxgAjX8rlvIdqjpCjcZHwzgdz8qX-sjtTXmEfB73F0CHXs_5UIIDk-DW88KFlWtF06SUyr9kbFkQZwPJYZBvY/s1600-h/IMG_1798.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385763382648696482" style="FLOAT: left;

This university-sponsored sale, called "Cram & Scram", is held annually after the students take their exams; after graduation is over; and after they have packed their cars to head home for the summer. It's a catchy name which means little unless, and until, you comprehend WHY the school has a need for such an event.<br /><br />Each year students leave behind EIGHT tons of STUFF....books, televisions, clothing, appliances, shoes, furniture...according to the N & R article even an electric wheel chair! Eight tons of stuff! Think about that.... EIGHT tons of stuff! EACH year! I think that there are about 10 colleges and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">universities</span> within our county and I cannot even begin to fathom what the grand total would be.<br /><br />I came into work this morning still reeling from the thought that the students whose education we are subsidizing in this great state of North Carolina, are allowed by their parents and by the university to leave such a mess behind! I'm amazed that these students may be the very ones who stand on the front of the picket lines to protest an unavoidable tuition increase but don't understand that it takes money to dispose of the things that they leave behind. I'm shocked that the college doesn't charge an exorbitant room deposit fee that is refundable only when the vacated room passes a final inspection. And I'm really disappointed that the students themselves...some of the the very ones that lament about how the older generations have littered their world... have so little respect for how they leave their "home away from home".<br /><br />My grandmother always used to start with stories about how life was back in the good '<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">ol</span> days. I'd roll my eyes and try to find some excuse as to why I needed to leave the room because I really did think that her stories were archaic and non-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">revelent</span> to the current day. Well today, while people like myself who are in their sixth decade don't look anything like what our grandparents did when they were in their 60's, I do feel like judgmental senior citizen.<br /><br />When we went to college there was a room deposit which was not refunded if your room wasn't clean. When we packed to go home I wouldn't have thought about leaving things behind for someone else to pick up because you just didn't do that. Belongings had value; students had scruples; colleges had rules, and parents had expectations. If asked today what was one of the most important things that you learned from your mother I'd have to say that "Leave a place better than you found it". That can be interpreted many ways (...a kinder world.... a cleaner environment...a neater room). She was 'about' all of these things.<br /><br />And so am I. I rearrange furniture when I visit hotel rooms because I know that it works better when the sofa is here rather than there. When we are <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">housguests</span> I often clean the bathroom and change the sheets before we leave. And I'll often try to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">declutter</span> a client's house because I know what a demoralizing and depressing effect that has upon the lives of the people that live there.<br /><br />So the idea that young women and men care so little about who has to pick up after them is something that simply ticked me off this morning. What was an innocent article about the sale where everything had a fantastic and unbelievable <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">pricetag</span> of just 50 cents an item...even the wheelchair... sent me into this thought process about the magnitude of having to dispose of the discarded belongings from maybe half of the campus population of 17,500 students.<br /><br />I have pondered over this all day and find that I just had to get out the soap box.

She's an amazing mix of Jeff and Vick... she has her mother's sweetness & kindness and her father's sense of humor...(maybe this is good?) . She's the resident ham and, as Jeff's loving parents, we happen to think that the "<em>chickens have come home to roost"</em> for Jeff.... Heh, Heh, Heh.

Olivia & Gabe are always full of smiles and giggles and, Lord knows, it helps to smile before I head off to the unknown day's adventures at the office.<br /><br />I usually get an early morning visit from Olivia who tiptoes down the stairs and tries to surprise me while I'm fixing breakfast or sitting in the tub. (<em>Yikes!)</em> Sometimes I'll sit her up on my vanity while I'm putting on makeup & she'll gaze at the non-magnified side of my mirror while I'm working on the other.... "What's this for doing", she asks as she handles everything from a hair comb to mascara. "What's this for doing"?...as I try to put on eye shadow. "What's this for doing"? as I show her an eyelash curler. All efforts to figure out life's meanings for the simplest things!<br /><br />I love the disjointed sentence, the innocence and the amazement as seen through a child's eyes, and I'll probably remember and steal her "What's this for doing" phrase as I go through the rest of my life!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFYEqwqwl33KlAMEnPRDucLdj6kr7AHw5h7sJG3QlBXWkOlS-R-25hf1iv5SPkvycbig8ojtbrbNQyU7z1a0oZ2i0eFov_Z6soG6CX8UnGndPKZNqEgyF8NTcywX6jKVlbmZVjcRkWRjk/s1600-h/IMG_1237.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333836358421142450" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFYEqwqwl33KlAMEnPRDucLdj6kr7AHw5h7sJG3QlBXWkOlS-R-25hf1iv5SPkvycbig8ojtbrbNQyU7z1a0oZ2i0eFov_Z6soG6CX8UnGndPKZNqEgyF8NTcywX6jKVlbmZVjcRkWRjk/s320/IMG_1237.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzNUARzoui5IYJCUaXEl-58JAUgLL3bve8-kjnfIkecg15hlNbS_wrClOAhi3KK37A9aEufmTB_qSeolwRvHeUDJGKIUzb3Z2VKK-UzAK5fxZRlQ-T3pzzogMgzX4CW24K1ZW6J-gZFkA/s1600-h/IMG_1239.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333836352107409970" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzNUARzoui5IYJCUaXEl-58JAUgLL3bve8-kjnfIkecg15hlNbS_wrClOAhi3KK37A9aEufmTB_qSeolwRvHeUDJGKIUzb3Z2VKK-UzAK5fxZRlQ-T3pzzogMgzX4CW24K1ZW6J-gZFkA/s320/IMG_1239.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi5Bo7iCVZziMUchKVB4M9INQ3HGBBUyWxYm0KgdN_FhwW08z8CjgNXRr28dPGKiSt4cyOygVVcg-o89h04Fnm6FKdgl0XDX8bI0Te_41UPjQxkq9kLR0fdT4xgNxRkRC4T6-p1pvznTM/s1600-h/IMG_1238.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333836370630264050" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi5Bo7iCVZziMUchKVB4M9INQ3HGBBUyWxYm0KgdN_FhwW08z8CjgNXRr28dPGKiSt4cyOygVVcg-o89h04Fnm6FKdgl0XDX8bI0Te_41UPjQxkq9kLR0fdT4xgNxRkRC4T6-p1pvznTM/s320/IMG_1238.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div>Dick and Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08411136504134641073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4986969046225601915.post-2635511934631423732009-05-07T17:40:00.010-04:002009-05-07T18:59:09.463-04:00Anniversaries!Once we get past January we approach 40 years of knowing one another and 39 years of marriage!

Life, as is our norm, has been busy since New Year's. Days filled with work; nights with "live-in" munchkin kids; American Idol (...yup, we're addicted), Biggest Loser (love watchin' those people lose half their weight! ...there we are glued to the set wonderin' what good snacks we've got stashed in the pantry! LOL).</div><div></div><br /><div>Work at the office has pretty much slowed to a trickle due to the poor builder situation, although we are still blessed to still be hanging on and to have all designers still with us. The nice part of having a 1099-type of business is that we don't have to go to anyone and tell them that they are laid off. They pretty much operate their own businesses under our SSI umbrella. The good news is that they still have a job; the bad news is that there isn't much business out there right now. People are scared to spend money and decorating and design isn't at the top of many lists. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I have gone back to teaching design 'how-to' classes, which is the way I started this business back in NY. I had a "Staging to Sell" class for realtors and people that want to sell their home last week that was sold out. We have 5000+ SF of office space and my income in the past was pretty much dedicated to paying the rent, so I've had to be creative about how to keep the business afloat and returning "to my roots" seemed like a good alternative. After all, even in a recession people still love color and design. What better way to gain clients but to teach them more about what they love? I have always enjoyed teaching but never seemed in the recent past to have enough time to plan the curriculum and pull together the pictures needed for a power point presentation. So now's a good time!</div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEwn7PVoZLbW14hzClE2XXpOfbE_WF9bXylWJHqGEYa6Gx7DshyphenhyphenRbeL_grLlicYRAGtmvc_4mIUbkYnQ006WSKh9HKdYcf3Yy3-8r-5WAfV_axNJ9VDTn0hWWfvwqayjFsyfE9Br-5D9s/s1600-h/Misc+138.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297406709757090162" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEwn7PVoZLbW14hzClE2XXpOfbE_WF9bXylWJHqGEYa6Gx7DshyphenhyphenRbeL_grLlicYRAGtmvc_4mIUbkYnQ006WSKh9HKdYcf3Yy3-8r-5WAfV_axNJ9VDTn0hWWfvwqayjFsyfE9Br-5D9s/s320/Misc+138.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Jeremy and Rebecca have just closed on the cutest little Cape Cod-style home in an older classic Greensboro neighborhood. Tall stately trees, a huge back yard and an adorable 4 bedroom house are all things that make this the perfect place for their family. It was built in 1946 which means it has the plaster walls; outdated wiring and plumbing but with a little TLC this will be a fabulous haven for them. It's had only two owners for all of these years; one of them for nearly 60 years so the walls are filled with the secret memories of a family life now long past, and you can almost feel those amazing vibrations when you enter! I'm sure that their blog will have more details and pictures soon.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>And our Dweezle who is now in her 16th year as our resident pooch appears to be on the down-slide of her life. She's aged alot in the last several weeks/months. She barely hears anything anymore, and it's obvious that cataracts have clouded her sight. She woke up one morning this week hardly being able to stand on her hind legs. The vet x-rayed her and said that her spine is OK and that he, because of her advanced age was reluctant to put her under for an MRI so she's on Prednisone which has allowed some improvement but there are still concerns that cause us to be evaluating her quality of life on a day-to-day basis. (sigh).</div><br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><br /><div>So despite the economy, depite the media's doom and gloom, life goes on. We're headed to Vegas next week to celerate our 39th together (<em>this might be Dick's favorite place on earth!)</em> and, providing that he still has this aura of luck that seems to surround him in casinos, and providing we can afford the cab fare back to the airport,we'll post some pics after we return! Oh, and by the way, we're staying at the Bellagio...for FREE. How cool is that??? I could stand in front of their 'dancing' water fountains FOREVER!<br /></div><br /><div></div>Dick and Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08411136504134641073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4986969046225601915.post-59565632373477862572009-01-11T17:48:00.021-05:002009-01-11T23:09:39.125-05:00The First Leg of Our Post-Xmas Trip ~ Greenwood Lake, NYWe can't take credit for the scenery pics but this is a beautiful part of the country!
