A Note From Dan
|
 My three-year-old grandson spent the night with us last Saturday. This is not like having just any overnight guest. Grandchildren require constant attention, a lot of playing and silliness, laughing, hide-and-seek, discovery and experiment. Oh, and by the way, squeezing fresh orange juice has become a favorite project for him on Sunday morning. Eileen and I consider our answer carefully before we allow any of our grandchildren to spend the night. We want to be sure we have the emotional and physical energy to pay full attention to them and what they’re doing. Here’s something to consider even if you don’t have grandchildren: Little children fully enjoy everything about the life they are living. They have not yet learned about struggle and effort, stress and schedules, demands and accountability, all work and no play. By watching them closely I am convinced that it’s unnecessary for adults to teach our precious babies all of this stuff. But we do anyway because we can’t help ourselves. Each of us is doing the best we know how and that’s good enough. No matter what, never stop watching, learning from them, and teaching them. . . |

| A California-born colleague of mine tells the story of being completely befuddled in a North Carolina ice cream parlor many years ago. The girl behind the counter was asking him a simple question. But because of both her thick accent and the words she was using, it took him a while to realize she was asking, “One dip or two?” A “dip” to her was a “scoop” to him.I had the same reaction this week dealing with a Realtor in Des Moines, Iowa, where DBNR has a distressed property on 11th St. that we’re selling. The Realtor is representing us on the 5BR, 1BA (believe it or not) 1,400-square-foot gabled house with porch and basement. It was a bank foreclosure that was transferred first to the middlemen from whom we purchased our cluster of distressed properties and then to DBNR.Click here to read the full article: |

| Hiring a contractor can be a difficult task if you don’t have one you’ve worked with on a regular basis. Most of us don’t need a contractor that often so we don’t have the chance to build that relationship. Asking those close to you will usually get referrals, which is better than calling just anybody, but still doesn’t say much about how they do their work.I’ve hired Gray Electric several times, as have other family members and friends. I can tell you first hand Chris Gray is quick to come up with the perfect solution, which in my case included some things I didn’t know to ask about. He was on time, and thorough and professional in his work. He always laid down tarps to avoid unwanted mess, and even swept up dust before he left. His prices are fair and he works steadily until the job is done.I highly recommend Chris for anything you need electrical, residential or commercial he tells me. His contact information is below.Need an Electrical Contractor?
