Posted by Joan Reeves on Jun 2, 2010 in Consumer Smarts, Home Sweet Home, Life Changes, My Literary License, Pop Culture

As many of you know, we spent a lot of the past year house shopping so I’ve learned quite a lot about the real estate game. Since I believe knowledge should be passed on, I’ve been blogging about pursuing the American Dream, that is, buying a home. At first glance Homes For Rent might not [...]

On The Move

Posted by Joan Reeves on May 3, 2010 in Life Changes, This Writer's Life, Travel

I figured the way to alert all my readers, of both blogs, of why I’ve been absent this last week was to post this quick note on both blogs. Just in case you have been wondering where I am and what I’ve been doing. We’ve been moving into the vacation home we bought at the [...]

Death and Acceptance

Posted by Joan Reeves on Feb 21, 2010 in Life Changes, This Writer's Life

William James said: “Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.” I guess my family and I are taking the first step to overcome the misfortune of our mom’s death. We’ve started cleaning out her house. I guess that’s acceptance. It’s been three weeks since her passing, [...]

My Mother Lives In My Heart

Posted by Joan Reeves on Feb 3, 2010 in Life Changes, This Writer's Life

Lucille Dickinson Ainsworth My mother passed away January 29, 2010. Since she hated to tell her age, I won’t tell it either. Let’s just say that she lived longer than the average person, but not as long as her father who made it to 100. Born during the Roaring Twenties, Momma was a child of [...]

The Great Car War of 2010 is over, and we won. I guess. Maybe the dealership won. Who knows? My car nut of a husband and I have been test driving vehicles of various persuasions for several weeks. We’d made the difficult decision to replace our very old 4-wheel drive Tahoe. It’s been a great [...]

And That’s The Way It Is

Posted by Joan Reeves on Jan 7, 2010 in Books, Movies, Music, TV, Life Changes, Pop Culture

Yesterday, during the morning drive time, I was listening to Dean and Rog on the radio and was dismayed when they said the voice over announcement for CBS Evening News was being changed. They’d used a recording of Walter Cronkite‘s voice for years, but they were changing to a voice over by Morgan Freeman for [...]

Eliminate The Confusion

Posted by Joan Reeves on Jan 7, 2010 in Consumer Smarts, Life Changes, My Literary License, Technology

A few weeks ago I was reading the financial advice column in the business section of my local newspaper. The subject was Annuities. I realized I didn’t know very much about this.
