Two People can win Two Tickets

As big as it sounds! Unprecedented in scale and scope, 'Walking With Dinosaurs-The Live Experience' lets you get up close with 15 "live" dinosaurs designed and brought to life by The Creature Production Company. T-Rex, Stegosaurus, and the gigantic Brachiosaur are among the giant stars of the show, based on the award-winning BBC TV series. The show chronicles the entire evolution of dinosaurs over their 200 million year tenure on Earth. The realism is astounding, and you'll feel as if these mysterious creatures have returned to the present day.

This is the description of the Walking With Dinosaur production that starts at Well Fargo Arena this week. The tickets that we have to give away are for Wed. Oct. 1, 7:00 pm. They are $35 tickets - club section 116. Please call BOB at 979-2883 if you want to claim two tickets. Don't forget the Eisenlauer Team are your favorite Realtors! When you need a professional call Bill at 770-2455 or Bob at 979-2883

The recipients of the tickets were Cindy Zinzer and Kathy Long. Both said the show was very entertaining and fascinating - watching the amazing technology that made the dinosaurs "come to life". Stay tuned for more opportunities for tickets.

Super Hero Day at Grandview Park Baptist School

Last week was Homecoming at Grandview, so there was a different theme each day for the students to dress up for. Thursday was Super Hero Day. My thrifty 3rd born and 2 of his friends were D.A.V. Super Heros...guess where they purchased their costumes???

East High Golf Friends

It's always fun to see someone you know in the funny papers, I mean the newspaper. There are pictures of a golf meet between East High and North High. Here are pictures of two of our favorite golfers/drummers. James McCourt and Kase Heuermann.

Year Book Yourself.... A Fun Time Waster

This website is too much fun! Go to this site and upload a picture of yourself or someone's face you want to have fun with. You need a face shot looking forward, and little hair around the face, forehead. Then the site lets you put that face in different era hairstyles and clothes from the 60's to 2000. What do you think of these two pictures - do they look like brothers from a different mother???

Regardless of how they look here, they are two of the best Realtors in the Des Moines area. They love to sell real estate in Altoona, Pleasant Hill, Ankeny, Runnells, etc. . Give them a call and let them know if you want to buy or sell a house or just make fun of them in these pix. BOB 979-2883 BILL 770-2455

New Sports Shop in Altoona

Bob and I went to a ribbon cutting on Thursday for a new shop in Altoona. It is L & K Sportscards & More, 827 17th Ave. SW, Altoona, Iowa. 515-967-5342. The shop is located in Younstville - the little stripmall on the west end of 8th St. It's the area that has a railroad car as part of a bar and the long-time home of Breadeaux. The store has all sorts of collector cards and items with your favorite pro and college teams (especially Iowa and Iowa State), as well as S.E. Polk shirts with their new logo. They are working hard to get Kyle Orton jerseys in...(without a lot of cooperation from Reebok). The owners, Laura & Kathy, also hope to have Kyle in for an autograph session. Stop by and check it out..you won't be disappointed.

Glad to be Living in Des Moines

With all the bad national news - with the economy, weather etc. I am thankful I live in Des Moines Iowa. The real estate market here in Des Moines stays relatively stable, in spite of what is going on around the country. I was once told that it has to do with Des Moines having such a strong base of employers in the insurance industry vs. manufacturing type base. From the viewpoint of the Eisenlauer Team, the market is doing good. Our market activity gauged by phone calls, listing and sales - things are on the rebound. The flucuations here are always milder than on the East or West (Right or Left) Coasts. So give a big cheer for where we live and work. I even heard the price for an acre of farm land is up from $3,800 to $4,300. There are still more listings than buyers - so if you're thinking about a change - its a good time to sell or buy real estate in Polk County. Give us a call, we'd love to represent you as your Realtor. Bill at 770-2455 or Bob 979-2883.

Mini Saga - Rainy Football

A Mini Saga is telling a story in exactly 50 words, not 49 or 52...50 words. Here's my first try.

Friday night high school football. It's raining. My son is playing. I don't like football. I love my son. I really dislike football in the rain. Do I love watching my son more than I dislike football? Does enduring hard bleachers, cold, wet weather equate a parents love and devotion?
