What is Labor Day?

Hope Goss Ventura Real Estate (Ventura Property Shoppe) — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 10:40:12 -0500

I was sitting here drinking my coffee thinking about tomorrow being Labor Day. I think I know what it's about..........or do I? So, like so many other things, I went over to Google and did a search. "What is Labor Day?" I chose the trusty Wikipedia entry and found out that it's exactly what I thought it was. It's a day off for working people! Cool. Except, for some reason, ever since I became a Realtor, I don't take Labor Day off. So, if you're out there looking for homes in Ventura, Oxnard, or Camarillo - who ya gonna call? No, not ghostbusters!

Paint Your Lawn Green

Hope Goss Ventura Real Estate (Ventura Property Shoppe) — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 10:57:26 -0500

I had no idea! I just saw a news clip about Realtors in a California city hiring a company to paint the lawns of foreclosed properties with dead lawns. It made me think about my own lawn and my struggle to green up the brown spots. Cool, now I can just spray a little paint on until it comes back green! Check out this website that sells the paint http://www.grassbgreen.com/ Of course, I have a few questions about this paint. Is it bad for the environment? Can you water the lawn after applying the paint? If anyone has used this, let us know how it worked out for you.
