Wow! What a weekend. We had 4 open houses yesterday. It appears that 2 of those will get offers and one of them "multiple" offers. If you want to hold value, buy Real Estate!!! Like my Grandmother used to say when people wanted to buy her farm land. They're not making anymore land, but money they print every day! She wasn't a fan of stocks/bonds!! Fortunately, homes in Parkfairfax, close-in Alexandria and Arlington, along with D.C. have done acceptionally well. We're so fortunate to live here.

We had out of town guests over the weekend. We ate at Landini Brothers in Old Town Friday evening. It was a birthday event. We expected the typical tourist treatment; but were VERY pleasantly surprised. The service AND the food were exceptional and all 6 of us were happy we'd eaten there. The last time I was there was about 12 years ago at a Christmas party. Wow, what a difference. Sunday evening we ate at Arlington Thai in Shirlington. And they know how to make a Negroni. If you want to know what that is, shoot me an email. You know I have the recipe!
