Today I received a gift from my father from Christmas past that brought joy to my heart and tears to my eyes.... I was so deeply moved I wanted to share it with you.  I was searching through You Tube today and came across Fred Waring and The Pennsylvanians.  

This was a band from the big band era and the man who invented The Waring Blender.  My father, Stuart Churchill, was one of Fred's tenor soloists.

I happened to click on the following video and much to my surprise in this simple little video the unmistakable voice came right out of the past...a voice that I miss so much.  He is the first soloist that you hear.  

 

 

 

It is funny how we each have such distinctive voices and the voice of our parents is such a part of our memory.  In fact, once while he was still living, I happened to be watching "This is the Army" and was convinced that one of the songs was sang by my Dad....but hard as I may ...I couldn't see the resemblance although the singer was definitely in his 20's.  When I asked him about this, he confirmed it was his voice, they had just dubbed it in.  He said, he didn't have that Hollywood look....

Then, as I continued to search,  I came across the picture on the  video it was so familiar but the resolution kind of bad...then I remembered seeing it hang in my Dad's music studio....and suddenly it all came back...and my Dad kind of jumped off the page.  He is the the young man on the left of Fred between two lovely ladies...I can't tell you how fitting this is....my Dad was always such a ladies man!  

Thank you Dad, it was the best Christmas present ever!  I love you so.....

Being such a fan of our Active Rain four legged friends...I wanted to wish you Merry Christmas from Chewbacca....yes the poor thing had to endure the fake beard courtesy of the gutting of his newest toy....and a hat to top it off!

 

 

 

 

 

He sure has grown this past year!  Can you believe just last year he could fit in a stocking....
I have now had this bundle of fur for a year!  He certainly was named appropriately!  He definitely has that wookie look!  

 

Merry Christmas from Chewie...now if we can keep him from either chewing open the presents...or worse!!!! I am sure a tree in the house is Most Confusing....LOL!

Today is the last day for finals at Washington State University!   The fall semester is now officially coming to an end here in Pullman and graduation ceremonies took place last Saturday!  

 

 

I am up at my son's business, glo tanning salon, covering shifts for our girls so that they can head home early for break.  A special heartfelt wish from me to all our girls...both employees and clients!   It is a really nice change of pace and I am enjoying myself immensely.  Our special girls have really made this business take off...they have all worked really hard this semester helping this business get off to an amazing start.   And our clients really are the best and have really welcomed us....

 

It is really great to see the excited look on their faces as they stop by before heading home throughout Washington as well as other destinations really throughout the US and the world!  Fortunately for those who are heading over the passes today and tomorrow they won't face adverse weather conditions...but instead should have great traveling conditions.

That is one of the really great things about our great community here in Pullman.  We have so much energy thanks to WSU and all that the university brings!  

 

 

And yet, as the last few stragglers leave today our town will take on a quiet hush almost like a fresh snowfall....it is a magical time of year....wishing all safe travels as they head home and a most wonderful time with their families and friends.  Wishing them all a most wonderful break!

Christmas is in the air at my office!  Tonight is our annual Christmas party and all of our agents are really looking forward to it!  I am really blessed to be a part of Beasley Realty.  Our company is an independent family brokerage and I love working for them!  

The history of our company is a long one.  It was originally begun by Ted Beasley in 1971.  Ted as the broker owner of Beasley firmly believed in a family brokerage that cared not only about his Realtors but their families.  Each Christmas he has always had a family orientated celebration for his extended family here at Beasley.

That tradition has been carried on with Mike Werner, our current owner.  He is the son of Melinda Beasley  He purchased the brokerage right before my arrival here in 2007.  

Our office is full of excitement as we look forward to gathering together again this year.  It is a great time and we all really look forward to sharing a wonderful time together.  I look forward to spending the evening with family and friends that all share a bond...we just happen to be great Realtors too!

Pullman Washington, home of Washington State University, sits on the far eastern border of the state in the heart of the Palouse Region.  I am often asked about the term "Palouse."  The Palouse covers the fertile hills and praires north of the Snake and Clearwater Rivers.  Our farmground is home to many wheat, barley, canola, pea  and lentil fields due to the richness of our soil.  Our rolling hills are composed of silt that is the result of glacious outwashes according to scientists.

Come join the fun for the Pullman Washington Annual Holiday Tree Lighting on Saturday December 5, 2009 at the Pine Street Plaza!

By 3:00 PM you can vote for your favorite window and tree decorations!  Just get your ballots at the Plaza.

 

 

 

At 4:00 the Pullman Civic Theater will perform scenes from the Christmas Story.  I am told by the Chamber of Commerce that there will be free cookies and and cocoa served at the Plaza.  This sounds wonderful!

At 5:00 the RTOP performs scenes from Willy Wonka and at 6:00 we will get a special arrival of a mysterious man with a white beard...and a red velvet suit! The lighting of the tree will follow!

7:00 will signal the bonfire at the Old Post Office Building Parking lot  and the Christmas Cruise on Main and Paradise Streets....sounds like they will be going right by my office at Beasley Realty!   Sounds like fun for all!!!  Everyone is welcome!  Last I heard we might get SNOW on Saturday!!!!
