Blessed to live in Three Rivers!

When I count my many blessings, one of them is the little hamlet of Three Rivers. As I mentally scan the town, I cannot help but smile. My fingers are tapping on the keyboard and so many of my friends and neighbors come to mind when I think of why Three Rivers is such a great place.

I truly cannot think of anyone who is not dear, gifted, talented and special in their own way. In a small town, one can make this statement because you actually know your neighbors. The city life is fun for a few days but Three Rivers is home.

Fall in THree riVERs

Fall in Three Rivers is breathtaking! Geoff Glass shot this photo today at Frans house. "Where in the world would you ever find a place like this?"

Cute as the dickens

This one room riverfront studio with attached garage is well built and very private. Who wouldn't want a little getaway spot that is removed from the world?

I think about all of the things that I would do if I owned it. A hammock would be number one on the list! The next thing that I would do would be to take a nap in that hammock. Then I would turn off my cell phone, read an entire book in that hammock and eat blueberries and green bell peppers( my favorite foods) to my hearts content. I suppose I will add fresh mozzarella, crackers and mini tomatoes to the menu.

As I would be swinging in the hammock, counting my blessings, being thankful for living in a place like Three Rivers, I would then contemplate either just dipping my toes in the river or jumping all the way in for a swim.

Just Living The Dream.....

...in Three Rivers! It just doesn't get better than this. There are so many hidden and amazing riverfront spots in Three Rivers. Just ask Team Diana for a list of available properties.

Cool New Listing

Seriously, not many people can say they own a home INSIDE of Sequoia National Park. YOU could SO say that if you owned our new listing.

This home reminds me of the tree house in Swiss Family Robinson. There are so many unique features. Do you see the lamp in the middle of the room in the photo above? It actually can be lowered down and its purpose doubles as a coffee table for late night family poker games( or whatever one chooses to use it for). There is a round fireplace in the middle of the room with a rim around it large enough to sit on. There is also a fireman's pole to make your descent from the loft should one choose not to use the stairs.

This home is the perfect getaway and place to make family memories!

Little Old Ladies?

We were host to four 80 year old ladies last weekend at The River Jewel Suites in Three Rivers. These women, one of whom was my mother-in-law, had an endless amount of energy. We were up late every night playing board games and laughing. Seriously, these ladies were so much fun.

We went on an all day garden tour, had a camp fire and roasted marshmallows, cooked gourmet meals, played cards by the river, visited the Underground Gardens in Fresno, visited places of interest in Three Rivers.

Whew, these gals wore us out!

Opportunity Knocks

When I moved to Three Rivers years ago, many storefront owners lived where they worked. They had a little store along the highway with a connecting residence behind their commercial venture. There was even more of that down home feeling in Three Rivers. Trish had a delicious little antique store connected to her home. Suzanne and Alice ran another antique store called Country Girl Antiques. There was a man who carved wooden faces and elaborate walking sticks who lived in the red a-frame across from the White Horse. Merv and Faye made apple cider in their barn behind the Cider Mill. The Pot Belly was the place to get great pancakes. Joan and Jerry Johnson made one feel welcomed and at home when visiting and staying at the Lazy J. I remember when we first visited Three Rivers, Joan's kids invited me to go swimming with them. In our small little town with seasonal activity, this way of conducting business just makes sense. The Three Rivers Market is one of them. Team Diana just listed the Three Rivers Market and gas station. Connected to the business is a 2 bedroom RIVERFRONT home. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone looking to get out of the city or are just wanting to be in business for themselves. There are strong numbers to support the purchase and the current owner will stay on for a time to ensure the success of his successor.
