Save a tree, stop delivery of phone books!

Save a tree. Stop delivery of telephone books!

You can do so by contacting the distributors and letting them know that you'd like to opt-out of the unwanted deliveries.

Even though the books are recyclable you can help the environment even more by stopping the deliveries altogether (Did you know that 85% of all phonebooks in Minnesota are thrown in the trash rather than recycled)...

I called all three of following distributors...the customer service departments were quick and friendly...now let's see if I ever get a phonebook again!

PACIEZNIK: "a name in real estate you might not be able to pronounce but can certainly trust"

Dont get backed into a corner or up against a wall...

 


I just wanted to share the simplest of staging "rules." Never line up the furniture around the perimeter of the room, pushed right up to the wall. It would seem that this would be the best way to maximize space, especially in smaller rooms, BUT it is not! Always leave a little room between the furniture and the wall. Just that little shadow of space allows the feeling of ample room and breathing space, instead of congested and backed against the wall. Following this same line of thought, even in a tight bedroom, there should always be room on both sides of the bed for that feeling of ease and peace.

Peddlers and Solicitors Prohibited

It's spring-time and guess what's taking advantage of the nice weather?
1. the birds
2. the kids
3. us doing yardwork
4. us playing outside
5. PEDDLERS & SOLICITORS!!!
How many times have you been home and someone came up to your front door to sell you something? Boy, it's one thing for a telemarketer to call you at home...with caller id and the National Do Not Call list...we can do a pretty good job of avoiding them...but door to door peddling and solicitation. That hits a little too close to home...like right at our front door!
Well in Edina we've got a few rules governing door to door peddling & solicitation...and one of the best rules is that..."You may not solicit at any residence that displays a placard at the primary entrance to their home, stating “Peddlers and Solicitors Prohibited.”

So put up your sticker today...a keep the peddler and solicitors away!

Dangerous: Ice Not Safe!

ICE OUT...Minneapolis means 'city of lakes' and springtime means ice-out. The definition of ice out varies but to those of us who've just come out of 5 months of winter, ice out means swimming, boating and summer are just around the corner. Join Annie and Bob Pacieznik as they take a walk around two of the Minneapolis' Chain of Lakes...Lake of the Isles and Lake Calhoun and record the sights and sounds of ice-out.
