Relocate to Wisconsin : The Media Is Coming, The Media is Coming...Oh Yicks !

    We got a call the other day from a reporter at The Waukesha Freeman, the newspaper...both on line and the traditional ...if that is the word...variety....and she said that "someone" told her that we had a home office and she was doing a story on home offices...could she set a time to interview us...Oh sure, call in the evening on our second business line and we aren't likely to be disturbed. Call she did and we chatted...we designed our home....and as a matter of fact, chose our lot (exposed lower level) just to have the kind of home office we wanted.  We didn't want a converted bedroom....we didn't wanted a dark, dingy corner of the basement...we wanted a pleasant, separate work area that we would actually WANT to work in.....and be productive !

     In Wisconsin, they always say, "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes and it will change." It's ohhh soo true....and we aren't talking sudden sprinkles of rain like Sally's Hawaii...., we are talking 30 degree drops in temperature....a foot of snow....this year, large buckets of rain....the variety is endless...a few tornado warnings that usually never amount to more than a warning....There are lots of positives....four seasons....the very gorgeous palette mother nature gets out and paints the landscape with every fall...winter wonderland....the scent of lilacs in the spring....a summer of ethnic festivals on Milwaukee's lakefront. WE LOVE IT HERE !

   I digress....we finish the interview and I am satisfied I have told her all the reasons that we enjoy our office and as a journalist in another lifetime, feel the session went well.  A few days later...the phone rings again....yet another reporter....this one has a camera...OH YICKS !   "When can we come and take a picture of your office ?" Wow....talk about incentive....we have just completed our best month ever....and as we all know...Real Estate has the talent for actually "making" paper.....so in between business...we will actually have to find places to put the paper....tidy the bookshelf....file the files.

    Do we love our home office ?  We wouldn't have it any other way...we have separate phone lines, fax lines, the internet, printers, a copier....and did I say paper....now where was that re-cycle bin !
