I have a mountain bike I came across and wanted to try and get it to a kid here in the Parker area that may not have a bike. I think this is a girls moiuntain bike. Yep it is a Specialized too which means it isn't a cheap bike. I will have the bike totally tuned up and cleaned and it should make a great Christmas present. If you know a kid or family in need please call or email me.

Stonegate Garage Sale Starts This Weekend June 5th & 6th.

Friday and Saturday

Stonegate is located 3 miles east of I-25 and Lincoln Avenue in Parker, Colorado MAP BELOW!

Start Times: I've seen buyers and sellers out as early at 6AM but expect most sellers to open their doors between 7 or 8AM. 

This is not your ordinary garage sale. This is an entire neighborhood garage sale which has been going on yearly for over 12 years. I really don't know when it started. Make sure to drive down ALL roads as I hear that the signage will not be as good this year as it has been in the past. Stonegate's HOA stuck their noses into the plan and have fouled up the usual process. I'm sure most garage sale participants will be adding their own signage but some will not. Keep you eyes open for kids and this is a pretty big deal and kids are out of school and will be roaming the streets.

Well it's mid April and if you live in the Stonegate neighborhood in Parker Colorado that means it's time to get your stuff ready for the huge neighborhood garage sale. That's how it's been for over 15 years. We all know the drill. Your family members gather all their items they no longer need and mom and dad arrange the items on tables for sale at DEEP DISCOUNTS. Then when your 5 year old sees his old toy leaving the yard with someone else he goes into orbit. It's all good though and we all have fun. The three day weekend of sales and block parties have always been a lot of fun and many of us have made great money selling our no longer needed items. My wife made $650 her fist garage sale and she has been hooked ever since and I know many other families that make much more than that. Over the past few years I've even seen hot dog stands and snow cone stands. I think the Stonegate garage sale is our way of coming out of our winter hibernation (it seems like we all dissappear in the winter) to re-establish friendships from last year. Good luck to you all and I hope we all have a wonderful time!

Yep, I know this isn't real estate related but who cares because it's funny. When you need a few days to get away with the kids (like spring break) hanging in Parker, Colorado isn't always the most fun places to be. Especially if it's snowing buckets of snow and the ski slopes are calling.

My problem was what to do with my 4 year old while he was on Spring Break last week. It just so happens another friend of ours was having the same problem. So we put our heads together and decided with all the snow the slopes were calling our names. After 5 minutes on Hotels.com and one fast phone call we had a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo right in the middle of Breckenridge for $225 per night. Not bad for just over $100 per night per family.

Here's a little video of our lunch one day at Rasta Pasta in Breckenridge. Enjoy!

Note: Rasta Pasta has good pasta so we hear. Just don't order off their Mexican menu.
