<p>If there&#8217;s something missing, please be patient and hopefully all will be well again soon. If not, please do drop me a note on this post and let me know so I can fix it.</p>

<p>Thanks to KWJZ for putting such an awesome event! Although my mom has been to both days several times in past years, this was my first time. And next year, I&#8217;m going to both days! If you&#8217;re in Seattle and you love good music, you should check it out next year too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is it just me, or does it seem like higher priced homes are selling faster than those in the median price range?</p>
<p>Up in my neck of the woods, we have several newer developments where homes are priced at or above $650,000 and several where homes are in the $300,000 range. Yet, it seems like those large, fancy ones are selling better.</p>
<p>I wonder if it&#8217;s because people are tired of living in sardine can neighborhoods? Or is it because those folks with enough money to be considered &#8220;well-off&#8221; aren&#8217;t having as much financial crunch as those average folks?</p>
<p>Any thoughts? I&#8217;d love to hear what you think.</p>
<p>~ Annie</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This isn&#8217;t a political blog and generally, I don&#8217;t really share my views with anyone but perhaps my husband. However, I just watched an incredible video that I feel compelled to share especially given the topic of yesterday&#8217;s post.</p>
<p>You may have noticed a small icon above here in support of Ron Paul and this video also gives you a glimpse as to why I believe in Dr. Paul.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the video </p>
<p><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XaxdUPNYj2s&#038;hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XaxdUPNYj2s&#038;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></p>
<p>I encourage to watch it, think about the current issues in the news and really try to understand just what the long term effects are if the current policies are not changed quickly. It&#8217;s imperative that every adult in America who is legally eligible to vote, do so. </p>
<p><strong>Our country depends on it &#8211; Our future generations &#8211;<br />
<h4>OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN</h4>
<p> &#8211; depend on it.</strong></p>
<p>Until next time,</p>
<p>~ Annie</p>
