Nice people do great things.....





I found this while riding my bike in the early evening. 
I'm not sure what the '1619-?" means.

A very dear friend wrote this to me a few weeks ago.
"Wishing you a nice weekend as well. I have to share what I did for my neighbor who was and is still a great help for me. Airport Appliance had an ad on TV where they were going to give away an appliance to a person in need. 

 Well, Sharon has had a broken dryer for over a year and I let her come and use mine. So, I wrote a wonderful letter about how she is so selfless, and helps everyone before herself. She is a cancer survivor, and living with one kidney. She is 75 she has been so wonderful to me, and others.

Well, this week I get this call on my landline and I didn't recognize the name, and I thought oh well answer it. It was Airport Appliance and my letter was selected and not only is Sharon going to get a new dryer, but they are adding a new washer as well. I told them that she'd been w/out
the dryer, but that she had an antiquated washer.

I couldn't believe my ears, and Sharon nearly came out of her skin when I told her. I think she called everyone and their uncles about her good fortune.

This made my week. There are Good People out in this world after all."

 Yep! It's nice to be nice - NOW, more than ever! 

 Live richly, marilyn

A dear friend shared this photo with me.  It's a good reminder that if I have something to say, think twice before saying it! Another friend said she and her husband (who have owned a business here in A-town) are hitting the road in a motor home! They are shutting down the biz. It's the same type of motor home, as some other friends! They will be traveling to Bryce Canyon and beyond. I started to laugh out loud as I remembered that my family (mom, dad, 3 younger brothers, and myself), piled into the station wagon and we were headed to Utah. We would be seeing Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. Both are beautiful...but you look up to see the mountains @ Zion and you look down to see the huge valley @ Bryce. And if you're cynical, you might whine that it's just a bunch of rocks.  Knowing what I know now, I would never take any kids to either place. The drive is too long, and they would get bored and blah blah blah.  Shortly after that, we moved back to Newport Beach (fr

Follow me on my Alameda Real Estate blog ! Kind of like the eclipse (it seldom happens but it's astounding when it does), in the last 12 days I had my hair cut, a mani/pedi done, my teeth cleaned, and my face cleaned up. I don't even remember when these items last happened in such a short time period. I felt like a million bucks. And then I started thinking about how often does the first of the month happen to be on a Sunday? Turns out google knows via the TimeandDate.com website (which is kinda fascinating). And it's more often than I thought. Oct 1st will be the next time a Sunday is the first of the month. And then I started thinking about the autumnal equinox. I mean, who doesn't? Maybe the question should be 'What are you talking (thinking) about, Marilyn?' This is my favorite time of year....autumn, fall, the space between summer and winter. The light outdoors is so sharp during the fall, even though there's less of it. As a very rank amat
