St. Patty's Edition #1

Well folks, it is that time once again, the moment you’ve all been waiting for, the second installment of the official Chester B. Chatsworth newsletter, the St. Patrick’s edition. Now, as you may know I’m a Great Dane and, as you may have guessed, I’m not Irish.  I do however have a few cousins (Irish Setters none the less) who live in the Dublin area, which I’ve had the pleasure to visit in the past.  This fun-filled newsletter pays tribute to them and St. Patrick’s, as well as to you, our valued customers.  We here at Dallas Homes want to thank you for your business and support and remind you that we’re here for all of your real estate needs.  On St. Patty’s Day, celebrate smart!

Terms Not To Get Confused

Real estate terminology is not always the easiest lingo to understand.  I know, at times even I get confused with all of the legal terms, and bank jargon.  So, to set things straight, I have compiled a list of common terms to help keep from getting confused: 

Bond—is not the name of a secret agent.
Broker—does not mean having less money than others.
Title—Is not the name of a book.
Principal—is not who makes you stay after school.
Tax—is not a term for pushpins. 
Binder—is not something to put loose-leaf papers in.
Jumbo loan—is not the temporary use of an elephant.
Lien—does not mean to tilt to one side.
Abstract—is not something that is imaginary. 

Though some of these terms may actually have multiple meanings, I hope this helps to sets the record straight.

This Newsletter is dedicated to you, our valued customers, from me Chester B. Chatsworth, Judy McCutchin and her special team, and everyone here at Dallas Homes.  Happy St. Patrick’s Day, and thank-you for all of your patronage!!

Your Name: 
Do You Have a Green Thumb?

If you lean towards having a green thumb, er…paw, in some cases, and want some real, live greenery in your house to help celebrate St. Patrick’s Day or usher in springtime, try a shamrock plant at your local florist shop.    Members of the Oxalis family of plants have clover-like leaves, which resemble shamrocks and preciously fold up at sundown.  They make outstanding potted plants and some varieties look especially elegant in hanging baskets.  There are several different colors and variegations of leaves and flowers available.  Oxalis blooms at different times of the year, depending on the species.  These plants prefer sun and like to be kept moist during growth. A perfect addition to any house.

Beware of Green Food 

There are a lot of food traditions associated with St. Patrick’s Day.  Many of these include eating food that is green in color either naturally (cabbage) or from dabbing a few drops of food coloring into it.  But, a word to the wise, beware--not all green food is safe.  I remember one sunny day in March years back when I was still a little wet behind the ears.  I was visiting my granny’s house for St. Patrick’s Day.  Being the explorer that I’ve always been I sniffed out a load of green potatoes.  Well, since it was St. Patrick’s Day and all, I thought, wow what a neat idea, green potatoes for supper!  So I dug in!  Lo and behold, after gulping down nearly half the potatoes, I began feeling a little ill.  As it turns out, what I thought were Irish potatoes were really just potatoes that had been sitting in the sun too long and had begun to turn green and rot.  Well, turning green is exactly what I did and I ended up being, you guessed it, sick as a dog for the remainder of the holiday.  Anyway, the moral of the story is to think twice before eating green potatoes.
