Hi Everyone,

So sorry for the construction mess in front of my home. I am finally having the front stairs replaced. A warm fall and good salesmanship convinced me that Dec. 4th was not too late. I certainly thought it would be finished by now. Oh well, best laid plans and all...

I also had some interior painting done and ceilings replaced for reasonable prices. Call if you need a referral.

You are just never quite finished when you own a home, are you?

looking for computer help. Has anyone taken a good class anywhere? I would love to be my own IT guy without accidentally erasing all my data, programs and drivers at once.

Thanks and happy new year!

I like this feature, especially because someone explained it to me and it actually works as explained (hear that, Apple?)

Hi from Mike Janowski and family @ 111 S. Taylor. I hope to have a website ready soon to link to the "neighborlinks" page. In the meantime, I'll sign off with a Christmas morning photo:

Shot by son Alex...aren't kids wonderful? Merry Christmas, everyone!
