May I take this time to wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving!
One of my many blessings is living in the Wenatchee Valley and being able to share my love for, and knowledge of, the local area through this blog. I hope you enjoy it, because I love doing it.

Yahoo! officials cut the ribbon on their new facility in the Wenatchee Tecnology Center on Thursday. An article in the Wenatchee World newspaper details the ceremony and why Yahoo! added Wenatchee, Washington in the mix as a key location for their business.
What were the primary reasons for the internet giant selecting this central Washington location?
* Inexpensive power
* Fibre Optics
* Dry desert air.
Wenatchee Rocks!

Click on image to enlargeI love many of the old homes around town, but rarely take the time to stop for a photo op. I’m determined to do it more often, though. I’ve driven by this home on Red Apple Road a zillion times but never stopped to take a picture until yesterday. The only one like it in town!
I wish the breeze had been blowing ever so slightly with the flag out front.
Too bad about all those power lines… but, I guess at 2.5 cents per KWH, we shouldn’t complain.

The new signs welcoming motorists to the city of Wenatchee are causing quite a stir among local residents. These signs, one at each end of town, are replacing the old "Apple Capital Of The World" signs that have been up for a very long time.
Here is a link to the full article and a picture of the sign. The Wenatchee World sent out an e-mail to some subscribers asking our opinion of the new signs. And here is a link to the resident responses. If you go to the response link and scroll down, you will see my response to these new signs.
When it is safe, I will stop and take a picture of one of the new signs, so you can get a better idea of what they actually look like.

On Halloween, I wrote an opinion piece about hesitant first time home buyers. Kristal Kraft, an agent from Denver encouraged me to enter it in a contest, being sponsored by Active Rain, an online community of real estate professionals from across the nation. Colleen Kulikowski, the judge, was in Florida. I was shocked to be notified that my article won the "opinion" section of the contest. I was honored and inspired to keep on blogging.
