Some quiet thoughts on home ownership....

A house.
A yard.
Family-Mom, Dad, Kids, Pets.
Neighbors.
Home sweet home.
9 million people slated to get help.
It's a start:

Special thanks to the gang at Trulia for going out,

talking to the public

and getting these quiet thoughts together for us-

in the midst of all the clamor.

Saving one home is a good start.

And Realtors are there to help:

with their knowledge of local markets

and other knowledge they can find and share,

they can help guide almost any homeowner

to what is practical and possible in their own unique situation.
