If life is a pie chart with different size slices for “eating, sleeping, working,” etc., the biggest slice of my pie would be “looking for my reading glasses.”
I have a main pair, a backup pair in the kitchen, a backup pair on a bedside table and an emergency pair in my purse. It’s not like I didn’t see this coming.
The thing is, I don’t like to resort to a backup pair because that is an admission of failure that I cannot find the main pair.
I’ve stopped asking my better half if he has seen my glasses, because the answer is always the same. Without even looking up, he will say, “Did you check on top of your head?”
OK, so maybe that’s where they are sometimes. Maybe that’s even where two pairs are sometimes.
The man is completely

without sympathy, and I can tell you why. He lives in a world with pockets. Nearly every shirt he owns has a pocket — a pocket for glasses. My shirts and sweaters do not have pockets.
The second largest slice on my pie chart would be “looking for my cell phone.”

dash about yelling, “I can’t find my phone! Somebody call me! Somebody call me!” Someone whips out a cellphone to call me and I suddenly remember I put my phone on silent.
To divert attention from how no one will be able to hear my phone, I quickly switch back to, “Has anybody seen my glasses?”
The third largest slice on my pie chart would be “looking for my car keys.”
Ninety-nine percent of the time, my car keys are in my purse, but it is a large purse. Think 50-gallon flex steel trash bag. It is the Bermuda Triangle. I once found a plane in my purse. It was made of Legos, but you get the idea.
I have a memory foam pillow, but not even that helps.
The real problem is leaving home without one of the big three. If I leave without glasses, the phone is useless. If I leave without my phone, the glasses
don’t matter. And if I leave without keys, but remember my phone and glasses, I wind up sitting in the car catching up on texts on my phone.
Recently, I discovered a fix for making sure I have my three essentials before leaving the house. The key is mnemonics. Song and hand motions are a must. Remember singing, “Head, shoulders, knees and toes” with your kids? Tweak it a bit (eyeglasses, keys and phone) and you will never again leave home without the essentials.
Just be careful so when you do the arm motions and bend over, your glasses don’t fall off the top of your head.

The nation’s largest privately held building materials supplier plans to add to its existing 310 facilities in 2023.
News Provided By 84 Lumber/PRNewswire
GREELEY (JAN. 24) – 84 Lumber, the largest privately owned building materials supplier in the U.S., currently operates 310 facilities which include 234 stores, 14 component manufacturing plants, 28 engineered wood product (EWP) centers and 34 door shops. The company plans to open new facilities and make improvements to 54 existing locations to increase its market share by the end of 2023.
The new store openings include Stockton, California; Denver, Colorado; and Greeley, Colorado. The company also is relocating existing stores to larger facilities in Morgantown, West Virginia and Sarasota, Florida.
In addition to new stores, 84 Lumber is opening component plants in Winter Haven, Florida; Columbia, South Carolina; Boise, Idaho; and
a second plant in Atlanta, Georgia. Regarding new EWP facilities, the current Atlanta facility is being relocated to a larger location in Cartersville, Georgia and new centers will be opened in the New Jersey and Boston markets. To round out the company’s extensive expansion plans, a new door shop is coming to Denver, Colorado.
“With the opening of these new stores and manufacturing facilities, we remain strong in our continued prospect for growth,” said 84 Lumber President Maggie Hardy. “We value our customers and listen to what is important to them to grow their
businesses. As a result, we are growing and expanding in two ways – opening new locations and investing in existing markets.”

DENVER (JAN. 24) – Denverbased solar energy company, Pivot Energy, is set to install nine additional rooftop solar systems on Extra Space Storage facilities, adding 946.8 kilowatts of capacity to an expansive renewable energy portfolio that now totals 15 megawatts (MW). The rooftop solar arrays developed throughout this partnership will produce about 20 million kilowatt-hours of carbonfree electricity each year, an amount equivalent to powering over 2,500 homes.
Extra Space Storage and Pivot Energy have collaborated on developing 150 solar projects since 2018 across twelve U.S. states: Alabama, California, Colorado,
Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Massachusetts, Missouri, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Each solar system’s production reflects 80 to 100% of the building’s energy, making Extra Space Storage a clear leader in the enablement of renewable energy across the country.
Extra Space has been an industry leader in solar adoption for more than a decade and was the first self-storage company to win Nareit’s award for demonstrating superior and sustained sustainability practices in 2020, winning the same award in 2021 and 2022.
“Solar has helped Extra Space Storage realize significant cost savings, but more importantly, it’s the right thing to do,” said Steve Potter, Project Manager at Extra Space Storage. “Working with a certified B-Corp such as Pivot Energy has been crucial to pursuing our own ESG goals. As our partners, Pivot has offered us an incredible level of consistency, as well as the ability to maneuver in a nimble and entrepreneurial fashion while still having the resources to handle a large portfolio of projects.”
Pivot Energy is a turnkey commercial solar provider that helps businesses, municipalities, schools, universities, non-profits, and more reduce operating expenses and electricity usage by maximizing state and federal incentives while further greening their operations.
“We deeply value our longstanding partnership with Extra Space Storage,” said Erik Bruner, Director of Business Development at Pivot Energy. “It is a delight to work with a client that’s genuinely enthusiastic about incorporating solar into their business model, and they’ve truly paved the way for their industry. This 15 megawatt milestone is certainly not the end of the road for Extra Space, and we look forward to helping them achieve even more of their sustainability goals in the future.”

The Boulder County real estate market has been robust since the end of the recession in 2012. None of the boom markets since the 1980s have lasted as long as this one. After 10 years of boom, can we say the real estate market has shifted — and will it bust?
remained about 100% in all market segments listed above. This indicates that the market is still strong.
It was right about Easter weekend in 2022 when showings on forsale properties dropped off rapidly. After enjoying historically low mortgage interest rates for years, rates ascended quickly, decreasing the homebuyer’s purchasing power. As rates rise, homebuyers considered offering home sellers less in order to offset the increased payments due to the higher rate. However, it takes a much lower price to keep a mortgage payment the same if the rate has gone up, even only 2%, so it is difficult to balance out. One thing that has been a constant about interest rates over the years is that they climb swiftly and tend to drop slowly. When rates rise fast, buyers hesitate and hope that rates will go down. That happened in the ‘80s and rates didn’t go down for a long time.
Let’s take a closer look below at Boulder County market indicators from 2022 based on the annual
Showings dropped off dramatically at the end of April 2022 as rising interest rates forced many buyers out of the marketplace.
2021 had the lowest supply of available resale homes in the last 20 years. In May 2022, inventory rose
above the 2021 inventory level and stayed above the 2021 level for the rest of the year. 2022 was still the second lowest level inventory in the last 20 years.
Using 50% as a balanced market, all market segments above went from over 50% under contract in 2021 to under 50%. This indicates a softening market.
The sales price to list price ratio
Months of supply available increased in all market segments listed above, but not to a tipping point towards a buyer’s market. Above 3 months supply would be an indicator that the market is leaning towards a buyer’s market.
Some market segments went up in days on market and others down. There wasn’t a significant amount of change either way. Ninety days usually indicates a balanced market and the days on the market are still well below that. Another indicator is the market that still has strength.
Average and median sales prices increased in all categories from 2021 to 2022, but generally not as fast as a few years prior. Given the fact that all the numbers are increasing in the positive direction, the market still shows strength.
Other trends indicating a “calmer market”
When a housing market calms down, a few other indicators are observed. Since houses in general aren’t selling as fast, the number of Realtor® open houses starts to increase. Sellers become more open to inspection and a variety of other contingencies. There might be listings that still get multiple offers, but not as many offers as the recent past.
Almost all of the above indicators show a softening market, but still a strong market.
Remember, all real estate is “local,” right down to the specific street sometimes. Be sure to consult your Professional Realtor® regarding how market shifts affect your property.

Historically speaking, reverse mortgages were almost always put in place as a “needs based” loan. As a matter of fact, the reverse mortgage used to be advertised as a “loan of last report.” TV commercials used to ask, “Are you running out of money and struggling to pay your bills?” Homeowners only did a reverse mortgage if they did not have any other options. However, in recent years there has been a significant amount of research done to show the value and importance of incorporating home equity into one’s overall financial plan. Now, reverse mortgages are being utilized as part of a “retirement strategy” to help homeowners achieve their dreams and goals. Part of the reason this has recently changed is because there are no restrictions on how you can use the proceeds from a reverse mortgage and there are dozens of different ways that homeowners are utilizing reverse mortgages today. In general, I believe there are three primary categories of the ways that homeowners use a reverse mortgage:
1. Needs based
2. Lifestyle based
GABE BODNER3. Planning based
I will list several examples of what I mean when I say needs based, lifestyle based and planning based. Let’s start with a few ways that homeowners can use a reverse mortgage under the needs based category:
• The number one reason homeowner’s get a reverse mortgage is to improve cash flow
• Refinance a traditional mortgage to eliminate mortgage payments and improve cash flow (you must still pay property taxes, HOA dues and homeowner’s insurance)
• It can be used to pay off debt and improve cash flow
• It can be used to cover other monthly expenses or insurance premiums
• It can be used to generate income by receiving monthly payments for life or a period of time
• It can be used to cover nursing home costs for a spouse, healthcare costs or other related expenses
• Home improvement projects, deferred maintenance or handicap access improvements
The next category is lifestyle based clients. Let’s go over a few examples on what I mean when I say lifestyle based, keep in mind that you can use the funds for anything you want:
• Travel more to visit friends or family members
• Right-size to a better home in retirement using the reverse for purchase option
• Purchase a vacation home using equity from your primary residence
• Retire prior to 65 and use the funds to cover the costs of medical insurance until you are eligible for Medicare
• Retire sooner rather than later so you can live for today!
• Check off a few of your “bucket list” items
• Gifting to family, provide an inheritance to your heirs while you are alive and watch your legacy
• Gifting to non-profits or charitable organizations again while you are alive
Lastly and potentially the most under-utilized are the planningbased strategies. These are some of my favorite ways to utilize a reverse mortgage and some of the most innovative:
• Create the line of credit (which grows over time) to utilize for anything you want
• Help financially sound homeowners to pay off their mortgage to simply have more money to enhance their quality of life/ retirement
• Use the line of credit to protect your other assets when the stock market takes a downturn (avoid sequence of returns risk)
• Use the line of credit as a cash account or a buffer asset to avoid holding excess cash on hand
• Use the line of credit to cover future in-home costs in lieu of (or in conjunction) long-term care insurance
• Use funds from the reverse mortgage to allow your other assets to grow over a longer period of time and have more opportunities for compound growth
• Purchase a rental property to increase cash flow
• Tax strategies, like taking funds from the line of credit and paying them back on your own terms to capture potential tax deductibility
• Use to maintain or purchase long-term care insurance or life insurance policies
• If you believe home values may go down, you can recession proof the equity in your home
• Use the reverse mortgage funds to cover the taxes associated with converting an IRA to a ROTH
• Use the line of credit as a wealth multiplier to potentially pass a larger nest egg to the next generation (consult your tax or financial advisor)
This is by no means an exhaustive list of ways to utilize a reverse mortgage. However, I hope the three categories along with the above examples help you to better understand how you can potentially utilize a reverse mortgage. I believe it is also important to highlight a few ways a reverse mortgage should not be utilized:
• I do not recommend taking equity from your home and investing in the stock market
• I do not recommend the use of a reverse mortgage for short-term financing. There are typically other options that are better suited in these situations
• I do not typically recommend a reverse mortgage on a home that someone is planning to sell in the near future
• I do not typically recommend a reverse mortgage when the homeowners desire to leave the home to their heirs free and clear
This is again not an exhaustive list but covers a few situations at a high level when I do not typically recommend a reverse mortgage to clients. It is very important that you speak to a local professional to go over your specific goals and your situation to learn more about your options.

With the grand opening of two muchanticipated model homes at West Edge at Colliers Hill in Erie this weekend, Boulder Creek Neighborhoods is welcoming homebuyers to a new era of comfort and personalization in lower-maintenance design.
The grand opening, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Jan. 28 and 29, will showcase Boulder Creek
Neighborhoods’ Antero and Elbert easyHouse® floor plans. “This neighborhood has been very popular,” said Community Sales Manager Rebecca Lucero. “We just recently celebrated our first closing, and already 19 out of 53 homes have found owners.”
Community Sales Manager Donna Lu Gamberg added, “This is the ideal opportunity to envision life fully lived at West Edge at Colliers Hill. From the lower-maintenance conveniences to the unique location in a masterplanned community, this is a place to find your forever home.”
For Klea Jones, president of Jones Design Group, Inc., and the lead designer of the Antero model, a Boulder Creek home exudes
comfortable elegance. She said, “The Antero patio home at West Edge at Colliers Hill is a plan that we as designers walk into and say immediately, ‘Oh, we’d live here.’”
Jones continued, “We’ve been so fortunate to work with national and local builders since 1984, and Boulder Creek stands out as good people who really care about what they’re building. As a buyer, it’s encouraging to know that a Boulder Creek home is built, walked and designed – the whole process – from the owners and top management all the way down. Everyone is involved in the success of the project.”
That enthusiastic commitment to livability is a Boulder Creek Neighborhoods’ core value, what
the builder defines as “lifefullness®”. “We believe in lives fully lived,” Gamberg said, “and it’s what we hope our homes help to provide for our homeowners.” This means Boulder Creek homes are designed to be beautiful, efficient and lowermaintenance right from the start.
For the grand opening, Jones’ channeled Boulder Creek’s celebration of “lifefullness” into wood, color and metallic finishes. She said she and her team were inspired by the “exceptional ranch plan layout” and abundant interior personalization options. Those touring the Antero model will be warmly greeted by an enveloping palette of mushroom tones, alongside cognac, navy and noir. Wood in taupe and caramel are timeless touches, and the graphic custom wall in the entry creates a fabulous, and attainable, first impression for buyers seeking design ideas for their West Edge home.
“Our hope is that potential home buyers can walk through this model and see the potential for personalization,” Jones said. Boulder Creek buyers partner with Saddleback Design in Denver to select finishes and consider flooring, tile and countertops. The Antero floor plan includes options for an entertainer’s kitchen, which features a high-end appliance package with two built-in dishwashers and a built-in refrigerator, a butler’s pantry and a generous island. “Today’s buyers are very sophisticated,” Lucero said. “We want to give them the opportunity to create a home they’re excited about.”
From the entry and kitchen to the study and bedrooms in the Antero model, Jones aimed to fashion a “distinctive interior of casual elegance.” Homebuyers are invited to imagine themselves in the multifunctional study, for instance,
complete with a rich sapphire grass-cloth wall behind copious bookshelves, or one of the bedrooms, which includes deep cushioned windows seats, a dedicated exercise area, and a space for an office, crafting or hobbies.
The Antero’s finished lower level encourages buyers to consider the possibilities of leisure and “lifefullness.” In Jones’ design, a myriad of activity zones provides for every hosting opportunity. Guests may gather around a wet bar, sink into cozy sectional seating, break a sweat in the exercise room, get their game on at the shuffleboard table or retire into the spacious lower-level bedroom.
Key to “lifefullness” at Boulder Creek are the lower-maintenance conveniences. Indoors, homes at West Edge at Colliers Hill feature wide hallways and doorways, minimum steps, raised outlets to reduce bending and spacious
bathrooms.
While West Edge at Colliers Hill appeals to a broad demographic, buyers who are recently retired or moving to the area to be near family may find the exterior lowermaintenance conveniences of a Boulder Creek home particularly helpful. “These homeowners will appreciate the snow removal and front yard maintenance,” Lucero said. Unique to Colliers Hill is the opportunity for homeowners to personalize the finish in the backyards. “It’s a bit of a blank canvas,” Lucero said. “We have homeowners looking to xeriscape, and others dreaming of lush gardens. It’s really up to them.” The backyard will include a patio space for outdoor entertainment and plenty of room for a garden or for Rover to romp. “The oversized lots are a big draw in this community, providing privacy and the ability to do the things you love,” Gamberg said.
Finally, the master planned community of Colliers Hill offers all-season amenities to the West Edge
homeowner.
Perks include miles of walking paths, open space, the Colliers Hill outdoor pool and the exclusive 6,500 square foot activity center.
Beyond Colliers Hill, Erie beckons as a great place to live, work and play. From the award-winning Erie Community Center to the plethora of restaurants and shops downtown to easy access to Boulder, Denver and Denver International Airport, Erie is a growing, vibrant community. Rated one of the safest cities in Colorado, Erie radiates a small-town vibe in an incredible location just a short drive from mountain adventures.
Jones believes the magic of a Boulder Creek home will inspire many this weekend and beyond. “The Antero is a home sure to capture the imagination and interest of potential and most assuredly happy new Boulder Creek Neighborhood homeowners,” she said.
West Edge at Colliers Hill features two home series – The Peak Series features included finished lower levels ranging from 3300 to 3600 square feet. The Ridge Series offers a smaller footprint, with designs starting at 1,600 square feet on the main level and optioning up to 3,600 square feet. Homes at Colliers Hill are currently finishing in the high $800s to $1 Million-plus. The neighborhood has just a few quicker move-in opportunities for spring, and is taking priority list names for select western-facing home sites.

With the year’s coldest months underway, your furnace will be working overtime to keep the house cool. And if it breaks down, fixing it will quickly become your top priority. Here are some do’s and don’ts about what to do if
NEWSPAPER ADS WORK.
something goes wrong with your heating system:
Do what you can first
Some heating problems stem from basic sources. Before calling professional help, check to ensure no circuit breakers have tripped. Verify that the wires around the furnace are in good shape. And check the thermostat batteries!
Some thermostats, particularly older ones, operate on batteries without wired backup, and your problem could be as simple as swapping out a couple of AA batteries.
Many newer furnaces include digital displays that can show a diagnostic code or even a description of the problem. Check the display and have this information handy when you call your pro.
And as always, replace your furnace filter regularly. It’s the best thing you can do to maintain your system’s health.

Natural gas is usually odorless, but utility companies use an additive to give it a distinctive rotten-egg smell. If you smell natural gas in your home, act immediately. Get everyone out of the house and a safe distance away. Once you’ve evacuated, call 911 or your local utility company. Professionals need to repair this as quickly as possible. Wait until you’re out of the house to call. Static electricity from electrical devices can ignite the gas.
that you can check for yourself, don’t get in over your head. Both the heating and cooling components of HVAC systems are sophisticated mechanisms that use potentially hazardous materials such as gas and refrigerant. Unless you really know what you’re doing, you can easily make the problem much worse or cause serious damage to your home and health. Leave heating repairs to the pros.
As always, verify that your contractor is licensed, bonded and insured. When talking to them, ask if their technicians are trained on your specific system. Various HVAC manufacturers employ very different designs, and experience with that particular manufacturer matters.
Print,
Aside from the elements listed above
Your HVAC pro is a vital service provider who will be working in difficult areas on expensive equipment that impacts every part of your home. Before you have problems, find someone you get along with and trust. And remember to have them do a twice-yearly inspection that can find minor issues long before they become serious ones.
ask for a second opinion
Not all contractors are conscientious about their recommendations. If they’re suggesting a major and expensive job, such as a complete replacement, get a second opinion to see if a repair might solve your problem. An ethical pro should have no problem with this.

Design trends come and go. And while you probably won’t be ripping out your entire kitchen just to stay on top of trends, they can certainly provide some inspiration if you were already planning a renovation.
According to the experts, these are the top trends to look out for in 2023:
Creative cabinetry
Designers are embracing more experimental aesthetics inside the kitchen this year, especially when it comes to cabinets. According to A1000XBetter interior designer Kirsten Blazek, boldness will be an important facet of kitchen design in 2023.
2023, we are going to see even more bold cabinet color choices, mixed with other interesting and unique finishes.”
Worn-in textures
Natural colors and textures were huge influences for 2022’s design trends, and 2023 is not going to be much different. Within the kitchen, homeowners and designers alike are leaning into less polished and more worn-in textures — especially when it comes to countertops.
Daniel
“For me, one of the keys to great design is when a client and a designer have the trust to take a risk together and choose a kitchen cabinet color or patterned tile that is bold and unexpected,” Blazek told Good Housekeeping. “I believe in
“I think people are realizing that there’s a certain amount of charm that comes with using and abusing your kitchen,” designer Maggie Dillon told Southern Living. “If you have marble or soapstone countertops, don’t be afraid of the scratches or dings that might accompany late nights with guests or prepping for a big family meal.”
Saturated colors
Neutral-colored kitchens have been popular for quite some time. And
while they won’t be going away any time soon, interior designer Julia Dempster is anticipating that saturated colors will play a larger role in kitchen design this year.
“People want to feel something emotional in their spaces and are trending toward saturated colors like deep-forest green, rust, rich reddish brown, amethyst, or jewel-toned blue rather than neutrals and white,” she told Insider.
Larger islands
Kitchen islands seem to be getting bigger and bigger as the years pass. And that trend is only expected to escalate in 2023, according to Hilary Matt Interior’s Hilary Matt.
“Traditional kitchens are evolving into other parts of the home,” Matt told The Spruce. “In the coming year, I predict larger — and even double — kitchen islands will be integrated to accommodate larger entertaining and gathering spaces in the kitchen.”
While sofas are often the go-to seating option, often a smaller seat would be ideal. This is where seating and sleep solutions such as daybeds, chaises and benches can play a useful and purposeful role.
Chaises
Chaises are typically shorter versions of a sofa. They sometimes come in more organic shapes and may include softer lines and rounded arms. Chaises can be great choices in smaller spaces or nooks in bedrooms and offices.
Daybeds
Perhaps you picture a day bed to be a piece of furniture made of white or black painted iron, padded with an ill-fitting mattress, camouflaged with toss pillows. This may have been the standard day bed of decades past, but these days daybeds can serve as an attractive, sleek and even modern addition, especially in smaller rooms
or spaces.
Benches
Benches are considerably thinner and smaller than day beds. Benches can be used for function as well as aesthetics. Benches work well in entry ways, at the foot of a
bed, as well as in small niches and nooks where a larger piece of furniture typically would not fit. In entertainment spaces such as a living or family room, benches can also provide extra seating and can even be used as an alternative to a traditional coffee table.
Ottomans
Ottomans, typically half the size of a bench, are the most versatile items on the list when compared to a day bed or bench. Ottomans can either be used alone or in pairings, often in a set of two or three. They’re great for extra seating, as a footrest or as a decorative furniture element to introduce a fun material or fabric into a space. Ottomans can also come in various shapes, including rectangles, circles, squares and ovals.
