Greetings!
 

Happy Thanksgiving!  This Thanksgiving we would like to give thanks to our valued clients and friend's.
 
Some fantastic news this Thanksgiving from the Federal Reserve...they announced they would purchase up to 600 Billion in Mortgage Backed Securities which sent mortgage rates plummeting to a multi year low!  It's a great time to lock interest rates if you've been looking to buy or refinance a home.
 
May your Holiday be filled with the joy of family and good food!
 
Sincerely Yours,
 
Carrie Pierce 


Thanksgiving Divorce?

A man in Phoenix calls his son in New York the day before Thanksgiving and says,"I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough."

"Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams. "We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the father says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her."

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this,"

She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams at her father, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs up.

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says, "they're coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own way."
