Toledo, OH

You would think when I finally take an entire day off that I might spend it basking in the sunshine, or shopping, or perhaps even napping.

First of all, I simply do not bask in the sunshine unless there is a boat, a pool, or an ocean nearby - and alas, there were none of those things nearby today.

As for shopping, I am simply not budgeted for shopping at the moment ... but I will be SOON.

As for napping, I really find it hard to nap as of late. Too much happening and too much going on and on and on in my head.

So, what did I do on my day off?

Refinished the hardwood floors in the living room, dining room, and hallway. Whipped my butt, I can tell you that much. Then made homemade crabcakes, sauteed mushrooms and heirloom cherry tomatoes of multiple colors and risotto. Heavenly for sure. Oh yeah, and fresh strawberries.

The nice thing about the day was the constant background noise of fireworks being set off. Really quite soothing.

I think we will soon go take a blanket out the back door and mosey onto the golf course and see what novice fireworks may shoot up in the sky.

That way we won't be inside sleeping when the neighborhood kids accidently set the house on fire.

Just read a blog post by one of my favorite Bloggers, Jim Crawford, in Georgia. Thought I would share the link that he provided.

Before you panic, though, please note that I could not find an Ohio bank on this list since 2002! So don't forget - Ohio lenders ARE LENDING HOMEBUYERS MONEY! Really! They are! You just have to be credit-worthy, not have too many debts, and have a nominal 3 1/2% down payment for an FHA loan.

Call me if you fit the above criteria - there's NEVER been a better time to buy a home!

Per the FDIC website, "The FDIC is often appointed as receiver for failed banks. The link below contains useful information for the customers and vendors of these banks. This includes information on the acquiring bank (if applicable), how your accounts and loans are affected, and how vendors can file claims against the receivership. Failed Financial Institution Contact Search displays point of contact information related to failed banks."

This list includes banks which have failed since October 1, 2000.
