Interest rate drop fuels demand...

According to Freddie Mac, 30-year-fixed-rate mortgage average fell further to 4.87 percent with an average 0.7 point for the week ending Oct. 8 from 4.94 percent last week. “Such low rates are spurring mortgage demand,” said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist, in a statement.

"Interest rates for 30-year fixed-rate loans were the lowest since mid-May; 15-year FRMs were at a record low since data were first collected in 1991 and 5-year ARMs also hit an all-time record starting in 2005. Compared to a year ago, consumers could shave almost $134 off their monthly mortgage payments on a 30-year fixed-rate loan for $200,000 by refinancing.

In addition to spurring mortgage demand, applications were up to a 19-week high over the week ending in Oct. 2, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association – applications to purchase a home were at the strongest pace since the beginning of 2009.

Oklahoma Czech Festival is this Saturday, October 3rd! Come and join the parade at 10AM and celebrate with us Czech heritage in Yukon Oklahoma!

Yukon is known as the Czech Capital of Oklahoma because so many people from the country immigrated here in 1800s.

The most popular food from Czechoslovakia is a pastry called a kolache (pronounced koh-lah-chuh). A kolache is a delicious, small bun usually filled with fruit or cheese.

The Czech Festival is a way for the people in Yukon with Czech and Slovak backgrounds to preserve and share their Czech customs, clothing, and foods. One of the main attractions of the festival is dancing.

Good times and good food! See you there tomorrow...

Last week while waiting for the sporting clays tournament to start (at Flint Oak, KS) I was amazed how green all of the grasses, weeds and trees still are. You have to admit that this is quite unusual for this time of year. End of August and instead of browns and grays - as far as I could I saw vibrant greens, so fresh and so 'young' almost like in the spring...

Next to the station I noticed something 'steering' at me...perfectly tucked and camouflaged... as always I have my little camera with me...

Wasn't this a nice surprise?
