Gardnerville, Nevada welcomes the Bravo Cafe & Bakery to town!

The Bravo Cafe & Bakery is a new bakery and breakfast/lunch spot in our little town. When I say little town - I mean it. Minden and Gardnerville have 5 stoplights altogether!

At the Bravo Cafe & Bakery, you'll find fabulous breakfast items, fantastic lunch salads, soups and sandwiches, and to-die-for desserts! There are a couple of salads I love to have when I go there for lunch. On Friday, I had the Pear & Blue Cheese salad featuring spring mix greens, sliced pears, carmelized pecans, cranberries, and crumbled bleu cheese.

I couldn't resist having a dessert so I had a Strawberry Shortcake. It had lemon zest in the handmade biscuit that made for the most refreshing contrast with the strawberries and whipped cream. And as you can see, the presentation was delightful too.

The inside of the cafe is light and cheery - and the baked goods case is a focal point. They have all different sorts of delectable delights but one you wouldn't expect is handbaked challah! My husband is Jewish and one thing he misses from the East Coast besides great bagels is challah. It just so happens that the Bravo Cafe & Bakery has a Jewish baker who makes challah every Friday. So - if you want a fresh baked loaf set aside especially for you, all you have to do is call Joanna, the owner, and she'll make sure they have one just for you! And by the way, they do have great bagels, too!

If you haven't stopped in to give the Bravo Cafe & Bakery a try yet, stop in today!

Northern Nevada LOL Friday ... There's Just Something Fun About A Little Boy and His Rooster!

My Grandson, Gabe, is the light of my life in many ways. We have quite a few chickens at our place. We love the atmosphere and the eggs! The rowdiest little rooster is Farquard! Of all the roosters we have, many of them three times his size, Farquard is the one that attacks our feet and chases grown men across the barnyard crowing all the way.

Farquard doesn't like anyone except Gabe. Heaven knows why the two of them have a relationship ... they just do. Gabe can roam all over the fields and Farquard will sit happily on his shoulder. When Gabe spends the night we always find his little feathered buddy waiting for him at the back door in the morning.

I Genuinely Enjoy Working With Professional Agents Who Know The Right Thing To Do ... And ... Do It!

There is a great agent in our local community, Ashley, who works down the road at another office. She not brand new, been selling a couple three years! I've sort of watched her here and there, I was always impressed at how she worked and how she handled herself!

Recently she showed a listing that we had in a very popular family neighborhood. The house was a little gem, bought by an investor at foreclosure. The prior owner maintained the house until the very end and it was really priced to sell!

Ashley showed it twice in a couple of days and really seemed to have an interested party. I fully expected to have an offer from her at any moment.

After her second showing she called to say would be meeting them to work up and offer!

YIPEE!

About an hour later she called again. The buyer,it seemed, wanted to write an extremely low ball offer that Ashley said she just could not bring herself to do.

She said, "I showed them comps, I told them what the market was, I explained why this was such a great buy! I told them I just could not bring myself to write such a pitifully low offer, it would be wasting my time and yours."

Well ... Boo Hoo! ... no offer!

On the other hand! Congratulations to the agent who has the fortitude to stick by her guns ... her professional conviction ... and not let a "Buyer" drag her around like a whipped pup!

PS The house is now in escrow at very near full price!
