Be careful what you do in the garden. The potatoes have eyes, the corn has ears and the beanstalk. It’s so hot that when my husband and I do yardwork together, I start a fi ght so I can storm off into the air conditioning. Whenever I am with my family and someone says, “Wow, you have such a beautiful family!” I reply, “Well, we left the ugly ones at home.” I asked an old man, “Even after 95 years, you still call your wife Darling, Honey and Love. What’s the secret?” The old man said, “I forgot her name ten years ago, and I’m scared to ask her what it is!” I was behind a grandmother who was apparently visiting Starbucks for the fi rst time. The barista said, “Can I get a name for your drink?” The grandmother looked very confused and slowly said, “I guess just call it Bob?” Why is grammar nostalgic? We fi nd the present tense and the past perfect. I was sitting on an airplane behind a mother and her young son. He kept looking around and making funny faces at me. After a few minutes, I got tired of his antics, so I said, “When I was young, my mother told me that if I made an ugly face often enough, it would stay that way.” The little brat replied, “Well, you can’t say you weren’t warned.” Parents today: “Text me when you get there, text me the names of the kids who are there, text me when you’re coming home.” Parents in the ’80s: “Bye.” Wouldn’t it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for a short time and come out wrinkle free and two sizes smaller? I hate it when people accuse me of lollygagging when I’m quite clearly dilly dallying. Some people wake up feeling like a million bucks. I wake up feeling like insufficient funds. Dating after 40 is like trying to fi nd the least damaged thing at a thrift store that doesn’t smell. What’s the hardest thing to learn when riding a bike? The pavement. This chef on TV just said, “Where there’s fat, there’s fl avour.” I know he was talking about food, but I still took it as a compliment. If a drummer comes out of retirement, will there be repercussions? My wife asked if I could clear the kitchen table. I had to get a running start, but I made it! I just did a week’s worth of cardio after walking into a spiderweb. What do you call a snobbish criminal going downstairs? A condescending con descending! All the baby books tell you that infants need to eat every two to three hours, but they fail to mention that this continues until the child moves out of the house. Nobody has any idea what you’re supposed to do in a gazebo, yet we keep right on building them and walking around like we know. Tonight’s Lotto Max jackpot is a full tank of unleaded gas and one sheet of 3/4” plywood. Some people believe that if you press on the gas pedal and the brake pedal of your car at the same time, you take a screenshot of the dashboard. My family says I talk in my sleep, but nobody at work has ever mentioned it. If we can make one person smile, pee their pants a little or, even better, spit out their drink, the job of Booster Banter is complete for the week!

Camrose housing sales remain strong
By Murray Green
The housing sales in Camrose have remained relatively strong this spring and summer.
“It appears that the increased boom of activity we saw in the first quarter has not slowed down. There were 111 reported MLS sales in the City of Camrose in 2021 quarter two, which is the best second quarter we have seen since 2016, which reported 113 sales. The average sale price is up, the median sale price is up, and the average days on market is down. The local residential market remains active and with strong demand and low interest rates, this trend is sure to continue in the short term. In addition, the lifting of most health restrictions should help to further stimulate the local economy as most businesses are finally returning to their pre-pandemic business operations,” said Jacobus Slabbert, of the Camrose office of HarrisonBowker Valuation Group.
In the second quarter, the average sale price in 2021 was $326,283, up 6.83 per cent from last quarter. The rolling 12-month average increased by 2.61 per cent.
The median sale price was $298,000 which is up 3.65 per cent from last quarter, but up 8.36 per cent compared to the same time last year. The rolling 12-month median increased by 2.05 per cent.
There were 111 residential sales in the City of Camrose in quarter two, which is two more sales than what was recorded in the first quarter, but 14 sales more than 2020 in the same time period.
There were 25 sales of more than $400,000 in the second quarter, which matched last quarter. “To put this in perspective, in the first six months of 2021, we have had 50 sales over $400,000, which surpasses the 39 sales reported in all of 2020.”
The average days on market were 78, 25 days down from last quarter.

Acreage close to Camrose

Enjoy life in the country approximately 10 minutes from the conveniences of the City with this 33-acre property located just south of Camrose on Highway 21. The five-bedroom home has plenty of room for a growing family that wants to enjoy the peace of country living where the children grow up roaming around wide open spaces and can attend the highly rated K-12 New Norway School.
The upper floor has had many renovations. Warm vinyl plank flooring smoothly transitions from the dining area to the kitchen where stunning quartz counter tops, stainless steel appliances and cherry-coloured cabinets set the stage for entertaining. A cozy wood stove in the dining/sitting area is perfect for enjoying at dinner.
Double french doors lead off the kitchen to a sunken living room that is highlighted by vaulted ceilings, skylights, large windows and a stone front gas fireplace. Patio doors lead out of the living room onto the private patio area.
A spacious laundry/mud room is conveniently located off the kitchen.
A large master suite with unbelievable four-piece en suite give home owners a peaceful place to retreat at the end of the day. Three more bedrooms and a three-piece main bathroom complete the main living floor.
The finished basement offers a perfect place to have family gatherings, with a large rec room complete with a bar and an adjoining area that could easily house a pool table. A good-sized bedroom and three-piece bathroom could be an older child’s own private space.
A large detached garage with an attached 24’ x 24’ shop means plenty of room for vehicles and the space to do your own repairs.
This incredible acreage, located at 45247 Highway 21, with pavement all the way is close enough to City amenities to be convenient, but far enough away to provide serenity. It is priced at $475,000. For a personal viewing, contact Sascha Dressler at:
