The Holm Stretch

November 8, 2019

On the 11th day of the 11th month, at the 11 the hour, it is a Remembrance Day practice to observe one minute of silence to honour those who fought for our freedom. We wear poppies as a symbol of respect and remembrance for the fallen soldiers of years gone by. Did you know that there is a certain protocol when it comes to wearing these commemorative red flowers? Take a moment to read our link so that you can respectfully honour the tradition of the poppy. LEST WE FORGET.

"All we know of Freedom, all we use or know - this our Fathers bought for us, long long ago." - Rudyard Kipling

We have included a great Remembrance Day craft for you to do with your children. What a great way to spend the day and help them learn about why we take time to reflect on November 11th!

On the real estate front...Just because the colder weather is upon us doesn't mean that the curb appeal of your house has to suffer, especially if you are thinking of putting it on the market. We have a great link to an article on how to keep the outside of your home visually appealing, even when the mercury dips and the splendour of summer is long gone. It is a fun read for sure!

We have been working hard here at The Holm Team! Take a look at our new listings and what has recently sold. As always, we are here to answer your real estate questions so feel free to contact us! We love talking real estate!
