Beautiful Florida weather is back

After a cold spell, we are back with lovely Florida weather. I enjoyed lunch with a cousin and then did some shopping. Time to come home for a nice nap. I feel like I am on vacation since I do not plan on having any more Open Houses this season. Time for a rest.

Fancy Nancy Says: Sometimes you have to take a break!

New Sport for Fancy Nancy

Today I took a pickleball lesson and bought the racket which is overpriced. I want to try to play with others so I broke down and bought my own racket. It is like tennis, but  the ball looks like a practice golf ball, but it is larger. The best part is you don't have to sign up, it is free and you can just show up with no partner. You play with others who just arrive. They run it 7 days a week.


Fancy Nancy Says: She is finding new muscles she never knew existed.

Wonderful Weekend With Family

We so enjoyed connecting with my daughter and her husband. They look great and love Florida life. Next we met with a realtor who showed us two condos. Neither one was great, but it was fun seeing the places and the owner of the first one was a charming man.

Fancy Nancy Says: Seniors are supposed to be wise, but based on my oberservations they really do not know what they want for a place to live. I include myself in that group. We are selling and we have loads of confused seniors. Maybe we should go into the counseling business.

Nice Class and Seminar Today

My class is small but today a former student arrived and many of my students become good friends. I am lucky to still be teaching.


Fancy Nancy Says: Pick something you enjoy for work and it will be no work at all.

Broker Issues Can Be Frustrating

Trying to find a stockbroker is not always easy. They want to run things their way with your funds. They do not    always tell you the facts and their goal is commissions. They are just salespeople and not economists.


Fancy Nancy Says: Brokers can help you go Broke!

Comments Are Fun

Just got some nice comments and tried to reply, but it would not work. I hit reply and nothing happened. Any suggestions?

Fancy Nancy Says: Computers and programs are great when you know what to do.

Car Captures Interest

Just packaged the sale of my condo with a car. This has definitely created interest. So far no bids , but lots of lookers.


Fancy Nancy Says: Patience is a virtue.

Open House

Lots of lookers who don't know what they want. Never realized that so many seniors have not decided where to live . We seniors do not always have answers.

Fancy Nancy Says: Getting older bring new issues.

A Gorgeous Day

After morning errands, I went to my favorite easy golf course. As always, I play alone, since I have my own rules: No water, No sand traps.. Met a man from Boston who may be interested in my condo. He will stop by on
Sunday. Time will tell. I have a new interesting condo package. Furnished condo with a car. What could be better!

Fancy Nancy Says: I think this package will sell.

Relaxing Day

Saw the movie Quartet and took a nice swim. A relaxing day and so glad my blood pressure is improving.

Fancy Nancy Says: Nice to have a day off. It is work to have an Open House.

Lots of Lookers

We had an Open House again this weekend. For two days a constant stream of lookers. Without an ad and just a sign folks come streaming in . Now we need some bids. Lots of folks, but no good bids so far.

Fancy Nancy Says: Real estate can keep you busy , but that does not mean you have buyers.

Lahey Clinic Trip is Paying Off

I flew to Lahey Clinic and their medicine is great. I think they may have solved a medical issue for me. Time will tell.


Fancy Nancy Says: For medical things find the best place.

New Game Pickleball

This morning I tried a new fun game called pickelball. Lots of players free of charge. It is like tennis but with a wooden racket and a large ball with holes. They meet 7 days a week and no charge. I might try it again.

Working on blood pressure issues and I hope to make progress.

Fancy Nancy Says: Never give up!
