This photo may best describe the antispation of waiting for Santa to arrive in downtown Sonora for the annual Christmas Parade held each year the Friday evening after Thanksgiving.
The parade attracts your and old and truly reflects the small town feeling of Sonora.
Horses, bands, antique cars, fire engines and of course Santa.
I like the kid with the red tie a future president?
The following is a YouTube Video that captures that precious moment in time.

August 21 2008 by Jim W Hildreth Real Estate Mediation
Today I was asked by a Sacramento, CA landlord to resolve 2 individual landlord/tenant disputes involving eviction.
Each party met and within one hour each a settlement was reached by all parties.
The stress of eviction, timing and involving families and cost to the landlord can be devastating.
Jim W Hildreth of Real Estate Mediation Services was able to act as a "Neutral" and open the communication lines.
The parties left the mediation with resolve.
Jim W Hildreth speciality is real estate issues and today's landlord/tenant dispute was the 27th dispute that he acted as a neutral and 55th overall with real estate disputes.

Today I recieved a call from an agent Heidi Hovatter of Century 21 of Twain Harte, she said to me congratulations on being number One.
I told her I was not number one but number 3 on ActiveRain.
She corrected me and said not ActiveRain but for actual sales both on the listing and and sale side from January 1st to August 19th 2008 for the Tuolumne County Board of Realtors.
I told her I had no idea and she stated that her Broker Kim Darr had brought it to her attention.
The actual unit sales were are at 22 and the top 49 agents averaged 8 sides of sales year to date.
This has been a soft market.
I knew I was closing transactions and as I have told others, its been all the lower end prices that have been selling. $20,000, $65,000, $150,000, $30,000. $231,000
It seems I'm closing 6-7 deals compared to one in the past for the same numbers.
I have a pending sale of $475,000 and this is high end in the present market.
What do I owe to these numbers ?. I'm equal in working with both sellers and buyers at 11 each and the number 2-3 agents have tied into the REO market with strong listings.
Hard work, great sellers & buyers, pricing to the market and I'm also a strong dual agent representing both buyers & sellers.
In addition the internet continues to be valuable in marketing.
I look forward in finishing the year and both buyers and sellers have been great to work with and in the past I have been a strong listing broker.
I look forward in my first ActiveRain referral.
