Just Takes A Little Dough

It just takes a little dough to buy a house! Veterans and USDA loans allow $0 down while conventional can be as little as 3% down. If you want to move ANYWHERE, I’m ready to help!

Christmas Day Memories 2022

A fresh poinsettia rests on the kitchen table

on Christmas Day.

A Louis Jadot chardonnay cork remains amid the peels

of apples and oranges on Christmas Morning. They all

went into a slow cooker with lean beef, dried cherries

and seasonal spices. 

A centerpiece rests on the kitchen bar on Christmas Day. 

Appetizers greet guests on Christmas Day. Offerings
include sweet gherkin pickles, olive medley, assorted
cheese cubes, dried apricots, assorted nuts, mandarin

orange slices and garlic-parmesan pita chips.

Memories from our warm house in Frisco on a cold Christmas Day 2022.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
