You’ve ou’ve Got Questions? Lynn has answers. by Lynn Arseneau I’ve been a Realtor for 36 years. People frequently ask for my advice and opinions, and by sharing those questions and answers with you, I hope to offer some helpful information
‘Twas the morning of Christmas, we’re finally in our new house, 10 acres, a barn, and periodically a mouse.
The floors are all hardwood, our windows are new, And on our deck, that’s right, a built-in barbecue! 3 kids, 3 baths make life so less stressful, Our “en suite”, it’s pleasant and comfy and restful. Garages are great, so much space for the “stuff.” Let’s face it, this house, is a major cream puff! But Christmas Eve Day we saw quite a sight, “There’s no chimney for Santa to climb down tonight!” We missed it, the chimney we just didn’t look, We’d thought we’d done everything, right by the book. Shock and dismay and worry and strife, For me and my kids and the dog and my wife. What is the answer? We’re almost out of time! I’ve got it! But how will I get it to rhyme?
The Berkshire Eagle | BerkshireEagle.com
Hey Google, Alexa, Siri and Ring, can any of you help us with this horrible thing?
14
Then… just like that, in just a second or two They all offered answers to what we should do. “Leave a key, leave a code, the garage door, leave open” Solutions we loved and will work, we are hopin’. So, my wife in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, The kids in their jammies, the dog on my lap, Relieved, assured, we won’t owe Santa an apology We’re thankful for Christmas and a bit of technology.
