Pueblo, CO

The Pueblo Parade of Homes Industry Day(2008) went well despite the unusually cool weather. Thanks to Country Wide Home Loans (Diane Van Buskirk, Tammie Stratman, Aarron W, and Brian) who rented the 15+ people who attended a stretch limo from Pure Luxury Limousines.

We managed to see 14 of the 23 houses that were open. Houses ranged from the low $200's to the $900K range.

Some of the main themes were more open kitchens, theater rooms and outdoor living spaces.

IMHO:

OAKWOOD Contruction 1305 Paseo Del Norte had the best presentation, in step with the season $264,900

HARTLAND Homes 345 E. Bahia had the best theater and great house for the money $229,900

MESSNER Homes1060 W. El Nido had the best features including the bamboo floor and other green stuff $ 369,345

COTTAGE INNOVATIONS 1012 Gale was the overall favorite of the people on tour. You could actually see fish jumping in the river from the Master bedroom, living room and kitchen. And the first pet / doggy room I've ever seen in Pueblo $650,000

DOMEGA Homes1015 Olivecrest is a perennial favorite $ 224,950

Thanks Patty B, Nancy B, Greg K, Debbie W, Coach, Barb F, Val W, Shirley VB, and everyone else who shared the day with me. It was a great time.

I'd like to thank HB Construction for all of their assistance. You went Way beyond my expectations. I thought there was no way the insurance company was going to pay for a new roof. Thank you Garris, your two trips to my house to meet the insurance adjuster made all the difference.

Your crew was very polite, clean and worked very hard and late into the day to get the job done. I appreciate your efforts and the efforts of your crew in getting the new roof up, on and complete as fast as they did.

I'd be happy and pleased to refer your company to anybody,

Sincerely,

Dena Stevens

Colorado Western Real Estate was a proud sponsor of the Pueblo Outlaws 2008 High School Rodeo the weekend of April 26-27 2008. I have to admit I had no idea of what I was watching. No doubt the cowboys in Heaven were yelling down "get that blonde outta there!"

On more than one occasion I've remarked that I don't know one end of a cow from the other. My good friend George Souto will remind me that the end with the horns is the dangerous end, the other end is where we get milk.

The event was held at the Colorado State Fair Grounds in Pueblo CO. And in my opinion the cows being "cut" looked less than enthusiastic. Mostly it looked as if the high school kids were messing with their minds. And I was confused when it was announced that they would be bringing in "new" cows for the boys event. The first set of cows didn't look all that exhausted. But what do I know.

Anyway, the school kids seems to be happy to be there despite the cool weather. And I did pass out a few of my business cards!
