From planners to gadgets

What a gorgeous day it is in the White Mountains! After a foot of snow, today is sunny and spring-like. Wish I could be snow-shoeing but doing real estate in the office (sigh...). Our local chamber noted that we have had more snow than the Antartica!!!!! How beautiful it is though...tall pines with snow cascading off its branches, the brilliant white cap of Mt. Washington, and the sun glittering off the mountains is spectacular! No wonder the Valley is such a popular destination.

We had an interesting discussion on how realtors seem to LOVE gadgets; I know I do! I lust after new computers, new do-just-about-anything cell phones, and anything that is smaller and faster. During lunch, I love to peruse the new merchandise on the shelves at Staples. Today i was especially enchanted with a tiny HP computer that is a "tablet"---I can actually write on the screen with a special pen (it has an "eraser" on it too).

The other item we all seem to love is planners, or daytimers. I have a "collection" of daytimers! Our business manager, Sean, admitted (a bit sheepishly) that he too was hooked on planners. Every year brings a new assortment of better planners; some intricate or bound in leather, sometimes just casual fabric covers, we love them all.
