About Irene

Yes, it is true. Spell Check is my friend.

As I grew up, my parents thought I was a bit of a slow learner. We found out in 7th grade, I had a challenge with Dyslexia. Thank goodness my parents were in a position to get me further tested, and I went to a small school that taught me how to compensate for my learning disability.

Years go by, technology improves (thank goodness) and spell check has become my best friend. I love to use the web browsers of Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox as they have spell check built in.

Yesterday, I posted a blog, with spelling errors in the title. (the title doesn’t get spell checked – bummer)  I know I have great friends, many of you sent me an email, or DM thru Twitter to let me know. I have the best friends.

Thanks

I started this month/year off with working on getting The Coach Depot prepped for launch.  The Coach Depot is an athletic directory connecting coaches and athletes, in the disciplines of Swimming, Cycling, Running, and Multi-sport fields.  Cycling is my husbands passion, and the business is a dream of his that has taken over a year to go live.  We will be launching fully in February sometime if all goes well. 

So my time was diverted from real estate and blogging to the new site. Then I got sick, and that took 2 weeks of sleep to get back on track. 

So here I am, a month into the year, and just getting back focused on my blog.  I suppose life goes on with or without me and my ramblings…

We are wishing you Peace, Love and Joy this New Year

Christmas in Scottsdale this year was a drizzly day.  Friends and family ran into our home between the raindrops.  The fireplace was roaring, the tree lit up and a wonderful meal was enjoyed by everyone. 

Sitting in the living room waiting for food to settle out the window there was the most beautiful double rainbow.  We stood in awe.  We don’t get many rainbows in Scottsdale, not enough rain.  I ran for my camera and it was already fading away. 

Wishing you joy and rainbows, Irene

Meet Soleil, she is the newest addition to our household.  She is an Italian Greyhound puppy.  She is keeping us laughing, and thank god, not keeping us up all night.  She has already stolen our hearts.  That was easy to do!  We are very excited that she is getting along with Luna,(seen below) our first Italian Greyhound.  We were concerned about sister rivalry, and believe all will be just fine. We are not sure how big our Soleil will get to be, Luna is full grown and only 5.7 lbs (on a good day).  Our lives have changed and we expect to be entertained by these two for a long time.
