"Babes in Toyland" is now playing at the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins. With a cast of adults and children, it is sure to be a good show!

I'm so excited to go with my grand kids and daughter to see this because for my grandchildren, this will be their introduction to the theatre. Our grandson wasn't very enthusiastic when he found out they didn't have snacks there but, if they like it, maybe we'll see the Nutcracker in December.

Even if you live in Red Feather Lakes, it's a short drive! So if you're looking for something fun to do, check out what's happening at the Lincoln Center.

"The Lincoln Centeris one of Colorado's largest and most diverse presenters of professional theatre, dance, music, visual arts and children's programs". There is a large performance hall that holds 1180 people, and a 220 seat theatre for smaller venues.

Three Art galleries feature contemporary artists and the art exhibitions usually change about every 8 to 12 weeks. Opening Receptions are free and open to the public as are the Gallery Talk presentations given by the exhibiting artists.

The Terrace, which is an outdoor sculpture/ performance garden is where the "Out to Lunch" summer concerts are held.

There are also large conference/special event rooms and many people have their wedding receptions there. The Lincoln Center is a wonderful place, I'm glad that it is here, and not too far away from Red Feather Lakes!

This is the schedule for performances in the 2nd half of November: Click on the link above to purchase tickets, for art gallery information and for up coming events!

While snowplowing after last weeks mini blizzard, I heard one of those sounds that you don't want to hear when parts are moving; or should I say, were moving. I stopped and looked to see what was wrong. I discovered that the scraper blade had come loose on one end and become entangled in the blades which wrapped that scraper right aroung the drive shaft. Well, needless to say, it was going to take someone much stronger than me to unbend that piece of steel from around the shaft.

So off to the local small engine repair shop with my problem sitting in the bed of the pickup I did go. I could tell that the proprietor of the shop had seen this type of problem before. He tried not to chortle, and he asked if I had checked this and that, or had I noticed this was happening, etc. I said it did seem to bounce a lot when traversing over the pavement and that it ran rougher than it did when I had first purchased it from Sears six long winters ago.

He took this opportunity to explain that equipment needs periodic servicing. Spark plugs and oil weren't really designed to last 6 years, especially when the blower sat idle most of the time. And it was a good idea to periodically check the loose bolts and the alignment feet to keep the blower from running right on top of the pavement. I thanked him for the advice and have made a comittment to do a better job in the future.

As I later thought about this incident, a number of concepts came to mind. At first it didn't seem like much, but then it occurred to me that much of life required the periodic maintenance that our mechanical equipment needed. All too often, it seems, that our daily routine can slowly drive us into the proverbial rut.

There have obviously been a number of various challenges facing each of us during these interesting economic times. In our chosen sales profession, our attitude is of utmost importance in these instances. Our old mental sparkplug and emotional oil need to be changed and renewed on a regular basis. Good books, tapes and seminars can be beneficial when looking for new perspectives and fresh ways to approach old problems. Aligning yourself with a good positive group of associates is another often overlooked resource when attempting to renew your outlook. Another excellent resource to rely on is the blog site of Active Rain. There are over 165,000 active members willing to share all sorts of ideas and approaches to the task of effectively serving our clients and customers. One can not help but recharge your battery for another day by reading and conversing with so many others who have found a number of new and unique ideas to share.

So you want to buy a house in the beautiful Denver area, but you’re nervous because you’ve heard horror stories about what can go wrong. I’m here to tell you, while there truly is a lot that can go wrong, these problems can almost always be addressed and solved.

As long as home owners want to sell a house, and home buyers want to buy a house (and not TOO MUCH changes in the political realm), things can be worked out.

There’s a lot of annoying things that can happen in the loan process. It’s important to remember that your lender wants you to get a loan, and in fact will not get paid if you aren’t successful. In other words – don’t forget that you’re on the same side!

First, your lender will give you a list of things to do and not to do in the interim before closing, such as, “Don’t buy a car, don’t change jobs”. They may also get very nosey about things like, “Where did this big cash deposit come from?” and ask you to prove your answer. And if your credit score needs a bump up, the lender may say pay off some debts, or contact the credit reporting bureaus to get some things cleaned up.

It’s totally annoying to do what you’re told, but please – in the interest of getting into that new home - Do as they ask. Don’t get creative, don’t get advice from a TV personality or your best friend’s cousin. Some of these tasks will be real, time-consuming work. But they won’t assign anything that’s impossible, just keep pushing and you’ll get through it.

If you chose a good lender, and did all they asked, they most likely will have all they need a few days before closing on your new home. You can relax and start packing. If you chose a not-so-good lender, they will still be working on your package the day you’re supposed to close, and there’s not many things more annoying than that.

Sometimes, even a good lender has trouble getting a difficult loan finalized. But a good lender would have explained what might go wrong and how they’ll try to fix it. And even though not getting the loan would be much worse than annoying, at least you should end up knowing the lender did all they possibly could.

And the best lenders would stick with you, and help you change the situation, so you can get the loan next time.

If you need to find a lender, I can give you names and numbers of a couple of good ones. I don’t receive any kind of financial payback for dong so, just the satisfaction of knowing they’ll do the best job for you.

Here’s some blog posts written by actual lenders, that will help you understand more about getting a loan to buy a house.

I write posts on real estate issues and local events in the Denver metro area, especially those communities between Denver and Boulder, as a public service. My hope is to give people an idea of the 'flavor' of our community, in case they're new or moving to Denver area.

I am a residential real estate agent, and would love to assist you if you're considering buying a home or selling a home in the northwestern Denver suburbs.
