Holidays in Three Rivers

Amidst Century 21 activities, the community events, and many holiday parties there was one event that took precedence: spending time with family. Each of the Diana's was blessed to be with family last week.

As I write this I realize that in addition to biological family, we have a network of extended family in Three Rivers. As we greet others in the market, at church or on a morning walk- it becomes evident that they are like family as well. We are 'doing life' together in our small village.

There is a sense of endearment for those who live in our community. Each person's life is a storybook. We are privileged to have so many residents woven into the pages of our book.

In addition to those in town whom we have been friends with for decades , we make lifetime friends because of our profession. As Realtors, we get to introduce so many to Three Rivers. We are thankful to have a large extended family to learn from and to love!

"Where In The World Would You Ever Find A Place Like This?"

FiRsT SnoW!

On Tuesday we woke up to a winter wonderland. Oh, it was glorious. The blue sky, crisp cool air, peaceful silence and natural beauty remind me of why I don't live in the city.

We have a client who moved up here last year. She was in our office today and told us that she has a new, custom license plate frame. It says, FINALLY HAPPY BECAUSE I LIVE IN THREE RIVERS. Our town speaks for itself. View many photos of Three Rivers at teamdiana.com.

Art and Real Estate?

Team Diana consists of more than the Diana's! One of the members of our team is Geoff Glass. He is like the secret genius behind the scenes. Last weekend our humble helper came out to the front lines. He participated in the Three Rivers first Saturday art show. One of his many talents was finally on display for all to enjoy! Stop by Century 21 Three Rivers to view Geoff's work.

What A Difference A Day Makes

One night last week we were awakened to an unforgettable sound. Through the rain we heard the loud crashing of boulders as they were being forced down stream. Overnight the warm rain caused the river to rise to flood levels.

In the morning we assessed the changes in the flow of the river. 10 foot high rocks that we were standing on 24 hours earlier were now under water. The flow of the river looked like waves in the ocean. Overnight the rain gauge recorded receiving 3.2 inches of rain.

Now that the water has receded, our beach has inherited a tennis ball, picnic table and a boat.

WhErE tHe wILd ThInGS ArE

This morning I looked out my kitchen window. To my surprise, there were about 50 wild turkeys on my lawn. Above is a photo. Our friends, who live off of the South Fork, told us that they counted 20 wild boar in their yard last night!

Once when my daughter was in high school she and some male friends from Visalia decided that they were going to go boar hunting. Now she knew what she was doing but the boys...not so much. They came to the house at 10:00 pm. They changed into their camo, painted their faces and headed off (good, clean, healthy fun for teenagers, right???). In the morning I asked her how it went. She said first off, she has never killed a wild animal and never would but didn't tell those city boys that. The she said that those poor boys brought weapons that were like tinker toys. As they ventured out into the wild, she got the boys close enough to hear the rushing of the pigs. She said that these tough boys screamed like little girls and climbed up a tree and would not come down. Oh how she laughed when relaying this story to me. Once she had them safely back to our home, she gave them hot chocolate and cookies then sent them on their way. This story became a legend amongst their peer group in Visalia. They are probably still talking about it today when they get together.... "Remember when Hailey was almost killed by those wild pigs and we saved her?"
