” Celtic Woman and The Songs From the Heart “
Ever since I first became acquainted with the Celtic Woman, I have loved their music. I have watched them when they have appeared on KPBS. When I heard they were making a return visit to San Diego at the San Diego Civic Center I made sure I reserved my seats early so I could see them live in concert for the first time.
Making my way to the concert and with time to spare before the performance seating, I decided to check out the famous US Grant Hotel. On the way over to the hotel, I couldn’t resist snapping a photo of the Celtic Woman equipment transport sitting in the loading area of the Civic Center. This sold out one night performance was a great production. And there was no doubt about it, it was a grand evening of remarkable music. They performed the music that has made them famous for well over two and a half hours. The concert was titled like their new CD, “Songs From The Heart“. One of my favorite songs is embedded there in new CD title, if you would care to listen.( note, the music video opens in a separate window) Read the rest of this entry »

After seeing this little guy coming through my yard for a couple weeks and never having my camera handy, I finally caught up with him this afternoon ( assuming of course that it is a him). I never remember seeing rabbits where I live but this little thing seems to have adopted my place. At first I thought it was a compliment but my garden seems to be his main source for food.
My first mistake of course was in assuming that being this small, he couldn’t eat that much or do much harm so I just enjoyed his scampering around and coming up close to check me out. He isn’t the nervous type either. So I brought out carrots trying to feed it but he came over , sniffed them and tuned his nose up to them. Of course I never heard of a rabbit that didn’t like carrots but you are looking at one. Well that was last week. His culinary tastes have been greatly expanded. Read the rest of this entry »

San Diego Home Prices Are Going Up!

San Diego Home Prices Leading the Nation in Home Price Increases.
According to Zillow, San Diego home prices year over year have increased 3.5 % and other reliable analysts agree that San Diego’s bottom was met and prices are on the rise and now lead the nation. Out of 27 major market areas, San Diego lead the way of the 6 top markets showing ayear over year increase in price followed by 4 other California markets.
Good news for Homeowners and for home ownership. It seems pretty clear that if prices are going to continue to rise, short of any great new economic downturn on the horizon, this is a very good time to buy with prices still low and interest rates still affordable. Single family homes are up on average 4.5 % over the past year and condominiums were 2.2 %.
Buyers that want to buy a home at the ground floor level would be well served now to get back into the market and make hay will sun shines, which it does most of the year here in San Diego. There are still some very good bargains out there but the inventory is low and hasn’t had much increase in inventory. Think in terms of supply and demand and take action now.
I would highly recommend San Diego Buyers to realize that the time is now if you still want in at the bottom.

The Origin of the Tribute We Pay to Our Mothers
May 9th, 2010 categories: San Diego Real Estate
Ever Since we were little kids, we knew that Mother’s Day was special. Naturally we thought it was just about our Mom. Once a year in May, we were reminded that this coming Sunday is Mother’s Day, so don’t forget. Once we passed through elementary school into Junior High, we were left to our devices in what we should do to honor Mom. As you may recall, Elementary Teachers would always have us do a project that usually meant making something to give Mom.
But do you know how all this started? Why we honor our Mothers? Some would say that the observance of honoring mothers had its origin with the Egyptians, but many other historians credit the social activist Julia Ward Howe and a school teacher by the name of Ann Marie Reeves Jarvis for our modern-day holiday.
