This morning I thought it would be interesting to revisiting my blogs for 2008. Reflecting back over the past year just seems like such a natural thing to do, since in only a few days, the year will end and 2009 will begin. I would imagine many would be thinking over their' past year as well.
For the most part, my 200 plus posts were generally about my marketplace, many of my newly listed country homes & tracts of land, plus bits and pieces of what life is like when working in a rural real estate market. My blogs attempted to covers small town living, farm life and events, as well as tips on selling or buying homes in the country. One learns early in small towns, it not as necessary to sing your own praises and it is generally better accepted if you simply let your marketplace recognize the fact that you are skilled, knowledgeable and well acquainted with what is going on around your county.
January 2008 started with explaining what exactly is the difference between a township and a town?
Feburary 2008 I talked about some of the things that get left behind on a rural property.
March 2008 I had a post that that attempted to explain but seems to confuse many about country roads.
In April 2008 I spent a lot of time building my localismposts by blogging about many of the small towns I serve such as DeSoto, Genoa, Coon Valley, and Westby, right at the time AR changed that format...
May 2008 with spring in full bloom I took many on a tour of showing rural property and also posted about the historic round barns of our area.
June 2008 I must have been very busy selling country property my blogging slowed down with only time to post about a few of my other local towns, Hillsboro and Ontario, WI.
July 2008 was all about an Amish Barn house which was just posted for sale.
August 2008 told about some unique sights around the county, how some road crews don't know how to place rural street signsand that Viroqua made Mother Earth'slist of places you never heard of, Big Surprise!
September 2008 was all about fall colors, my tomato garden and what gets left behind when selling a farm.
October 2008 saw the end of the golf season, some interesting homes, and Halloween costumes.
November 2008 I blogged about cabins, the number of not so ordinary homes and a thank you note to Mother Earth, as I made a sale as a result of that magazine article!
December 2008 is almost over, but thoughts of friends, Christmas Parties and Santa Clausetaking a little break brings me to the end of the year. To all those who have read my blogs I wish you a happy New Year and I have many hopes that 2009 will be a wonderful year and better than 2008!!!!!
