Useful Bits
We read the book, did our homework, put the ad in the newspaper and before I had time to distribute the flyers I had made we sold our house. It sold on the very first day it appeared in our local paper! Someone who works with my husband was so impressed that they asked where to get the book themselves. Thanks.
