The Arizona Cardinals are going to the Superbowl!
January 19th, 2009 categories: Beyond Real Estate, Just For Fun
“We’re going to the Superbowl!” is what all of us kept screaming after yesterdays victory over the Eagles. We were all wearing Cardinals jerseys, even the dogs were wearing jerseys! It was so exciting to be a part of Arizona sports history. I don’t mean to sound overly dramatic, after all it’s only a football game, but it is the Cardinals and they are going to the Superbowl.
The Arizona Cardinals are headed to the Super Bowl for the first time in the te
am’s history. As a Cardinal’s fan, last place was pretty much the norm, second to last was a good run. But this season was different; The Cardinals week after week surprised all of us in Arizona, but I think the biggest suprise was to their opponents. They were underdogs in all three playoff games, and were even called the worst playoff team in NFL history by one of the announcers.
Yesterday, all of the experts that counted the Cardinals out three games ago were proven wrong in a big way.
Congratulations to Coach Whisenhunt and the team. The Prescott tailgate crew be watching on February 1st
This is unbelievable!
Go Cardinals!

Happy Friday Everyone.
We are an office of dog lovers, and I felt our four legged assistants deserved a post of their own. They are all helpful in their own way and always a morale booster.

Finally, snow in Prescott
December 18th, 2008 categories: Beyond Real Estate, Just For Fun, Prescott Homeowners
Let it snow!
It’s snowing in Prescott, finally.
I took this picture from my back door this morning before leaving the house.
Snow storms in Prescott are fun because there’s not too much work involved with them. We don’t have to dig our cars out from a huge drift, we’re not trapped at home and things don’t stay frozen until March. It’s just enough to enjoy and take in the beauty of it all.
Don’t get me wrong, we have had a few storms where we had to break out the snow shovels, but not too many in recent years. We always hope for a white Christmas, but a white week before Christmas will do.

Prescott’s Palace Saloon
December 3rd, 2008 categories: Beyond Real Estate, Just For Fun
When you enter the Palace Saloon, you walk through swinging saloon doors just like the in the old westerns. It’s a step back in time and into Prescott History.
The Palace opened in 1877 and was more than just a watering hole on Whiskey Row.
Cowboys gathered there to decide elections, to check for work notices and to buy and sell land claims. I guess you could say it was Prescott’s first Real Estate office.
On July 14th, 1900, The Palace was destroyed by the Whiskey Row fire. The ornately carved Brunswick bar, which is still in use today was carried to safety across the street by bar patrons.
By 1901 the Palace Saloon which included a hotel, Chinese restaurant and barber shop was back in business.
In the 1970’s, The Palace Saloon was featured in the movies Wanda Nevada, Junior Bonner, and my favorite, Billy Jack.
The Palace Saloon was renovated in 1996 and is the oldest frontier bar in Arizona.
Wyatt Earp, Virgil Earp and Doc Holiday were regular patrons of the Palace Saloon.

A Halloween Tradition
October 28th, 2008 categories: Just For Fun, Prescott Homeowners
Historic Mount Vernon Street is a Halloween tradition in Prescott. Trick-or-treaters started flocking to the beautiful tree lined street nearly 30 years ago, and today Mount Vernon residents can see more than 1,000 costumed kids at their door.
The tradition began at the home of Mary Jane and Al Smith located at the corner of Mount Vernon and Goodwin Street. In the 1970s, they started creating an elaborate wake-themed indoor display with skeletons and coffins. More and more neighbors began joining in and word got around town that Mount Vernon was the place to go
on
October 31st.
For the second year in a row, the Prescott Police Department will close off a large portion of Mount Vernon Street between 4:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Come and Join the fun!

Health, Happiness and Prosperity
October 10th, 2008 categories: Just For Fun, Prescott Homeowners
What A Week!
This has been a challenging week. The stock market, the credit crisis, AIG, the election…. Enough!!!!!
Do something fun this weekend.. Watch the baseball playoffs, take your kids to the park, watch a funny movie, just don’t watch the news.
If everything you’re reading or hearing lately seems really negative, here’s some positive food for thought from The Optimist Creed.
- Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
- Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
- Think only of the best, work only for the best and expect only the best.Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
- Be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
- Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
Have a great weekend.

Wide Open Spaces
September 19th, 2008 categories: Just For Fun
I enjoy living in Arizona for many reasons and this photo is one of them! You can leave your home or office and in 20 minutes be here. This photo was taken near Skull Valley and the scenery is absolutely beautiful. Granite boulders, cactus and endless blue sky. I love being in a place where all you hear is silence….
