October post! After a busy summer, it’s time to chill! An autumn drive can be the best way to unwind.

I read this yesterday:

“You’re paying a mortgage, whether it’s yours or your landlord’s." We all need somewhere to live. The average rent in our area is well over $1000 a month. That $1000 a month will add up to $120,000 in ten years.

It’s already June! In 21 days, the sunshine will slowly begin to fade again. But the heat has not even begun.

“With well-chosen assets, investors can enjoy predictable cash flow, excellent returns, tax advantages, and diversification-and it’s possible to leverage real estate to build wealth.”

Does anyone else feel a little out of it? This Mother’s Day weekend was gorgeous. I spent Saturday trimming trees and doing yard work. Saturday evening was spent trying to breathe through all the spring allergens I inhaled through all the outdoor time. Sunday was spent with family. I cooked a nice brunch with a delicious coffee cake. So naturally I had coffee cake for dinner.

It hit 70* here in Reno this Easter weekend and it was glorious! I spent Saturday raking and cleaning my yard. It’s looking better but I’m paying for it today. This a good reminder to pace myself when doing heavy chores.
