It seems like just yesterday that I posted my last entry when, in fact, it has been nearly a year! This is one of those things I always say I'll get to "later". Much, much later.
HOME
My real estate business was put on the back burner this year while I focused on my mother's and my mother-in-law's health issues. And, to be honest, I enjoyed kicking back a bit and spending more time at home. I'm sad beyond words to report that my mother passed away shortly before Christmas. So grateful to her for her unconditional love and support. "Later" doesn't always come. My mom loved to read this blog (because she's my mom she thinks I'm amazing!) and now I won't have the opportunity to wow her with my exploits, wit and wisdom. Grab life by the balls folks! It never lasts as long as we think it will.
All of that aside, real estate was still good to me in 2015. I am working with some lovely people right now who are looking to make Reno home. The market here is strong and there are so many ways that Reno is growing and changing right now it is impossible to list them all in one post. If you're interested in our market please drop me a line! I'll post updates about all the goings-on as I build this blogging habit back up to where it belongs!

RUN
The Hubs and I are still on our running streak! In our running streak? Either way we're still running! We started on November 11, 2013 with the notion we'd do at least a mile a day until the end of the year. It was some harebrained idea my husband got while reading an issue of Runner's World. I can't really blame him. After all, I'm the one that thought it was smart to go along! Today marks 785 days. Starting was hard, stopping is much harder! Other 2015 running highlights include the California International Marathon, three Turkey Trots (two in one day!) and another resolution run. That last one technically belongs in 2016, but we've done them for 7 years in a row and think they are a fantastic way to jump start a running year.

Forgot to get a group shot after our Resolution Run at midnight - but here's Coco, ready to hit the cold road!
RECIPES
In the past I've shared some of my treasured recipes. You know the ones...little scraps of paper covered with splashed and spilled ingredients, often handwritten by loved ones, tried and true family favorites. My mom was a recipe junkie like me and was willing to try all sorts of odd dishes. This was torn from the back of a Best Foods Mayonnaise jar and, in my family, is lovingly known as Green Death. It indicates that it will serve 6 but I'd go so far as to say it will serve 20 because no one really wants much of it! I'm mostly kidding. It is kind of delicious. But definitely not for everyone!
One of these days I might even add the horseradish. Do you have a crazy favorite? Be sure to share it with me!
