  We invited the Backyardigans to come over and play, so they put on their very best faces that day. With masks of purple, yellow, orange, blue and pink, they all wondered what the neighbors would think. The sun, it grew hot, and the nights got so cold, that our little Backyardigans began to look old. They started to morph from a cheery, bright bunch to some scary old goblins who'd eat you for lunch! So we smashed them and trashed them and threw them away! Perhaps they'll return this time next year to play ************* Special thanks to my 4 year old Devon who came up with the idea of carving & painting our pumpkins into backyardigan faces!  Devon and Rachael had great fun creating them. Sadly, they got a lesson in why you should not carve them too early. This wonderful poem was create... 10/31/2010

Retail Sales JumpThe Commerce Department reported that Retail Sales jumped 0.6%.  This was a much stronger reading that what analysts expected and was the best reading since December 2009.This is important to the housing market because home demand is strongly tied to how the consumer feels about the economy.  While there are numerous studies and surveys that attempt to monitor consumer sentiment,  nothing give us a clearer picture than their actual spending at retail stores.  This pick up in consumer demand along with exceptionally low mortgage rates are both positives for the housing market. What Happened to Rates Last Week   Mortgage backed securities (MBS) lost -57 basis points last week causing 30 year fixed rates to increase from the previous week.  We actually lost -104 basis poin... 10/18/2010
