Those disappearing chickens

Here is a double yolker from Giles next to a store bought egg. Giles' eggs are stil smaller, but they sure are a lot more orange and really really tasty!



My mom was here today, and again a chicken goes missing. What is up with that? Buffy was completely disappeared, I couldn't find her. until I finally spotted her, on a little nest tucked away next to the deck! i pushed her right off to see what she was hiding, and she had laid 6 eggs! I took them all, and she sat back down and laid another one.



All from our chickens!

Small World Stories

I was working on a bit of a real estate transaction, doing some late night work from home. I wanted to make sure I had the correct email address for a certain agent, so I looked up her company's website. While looking at her personal info profile I scrolled to the bottom of the page where there were three photos. The middle photo being a picture that I took of this woman playing guitar at John Henry's in Eugene, oh say, 9 or 10 years ago. I thought she looked familiar when I had met her before, but I figured it was from seeing her at open houses and such.

Today I was at a Listing Appt with my boss. Towards the end the client tells us that she has also interviewed another agent who she was referred to by a painter she knows. Turns out this agent is someone from our office who we've closed 2 or 3 transactions with recently. So maybe we'll co-list it.

I would like to get an exact number for how many realtors there are in Portland. It has got to be many thousands. I heard someone say 6,000, but not sure where they got that number. There are probably fewer now than there were a few years ago, but there are still many many Realtors out there in the Portland metro area.
