‘T is the season to check out snazzy houses — all gus-sied up for the holidays. Two
home tours take place this weekend — Christmas at Our House, the 23rd annual holiday home tour put on by the Women’s Club of Saint Francis High School, and Finishing Touch-es, the fourth annual fine-home tour sponsored by the Junior League of Palo Alto*Mid Peninsula.
Christmas at Our House offers a tour of three homes in Los Altos and Los Altos Hills.

— and “made it more ranch-y,” Wimmer said.
In the center of the new kitchen is an island topped by oak floorboards taken from a dismantled Pennsylva-nia barn. The wood complements the mantel, made from an old beam, in the adjoining great room. Both were created by John Crawford, a Santa Cruz woodworker, who also did the memorial angel sculpture made from wood scraps that graces the rose garden.
The light, bright kitchen, with its CaesarStone countertop, also has a breakfront to display his wife’s flow-blue china and glassware.
“She was the quintessential col-lector,” Wimmer said, as was her mother before her. Throughout the home are displays of various col-lections: 36 nutcrackers, antique wooden duck decoys (those are his), black-and-white family photos
(many shot by Heather), and masses of flow-blue china.
But there’s plenty of room in the multi-level home, which is just shy of 6,000 square feet, sitting on an acre.
When reconstructing the house, they discovered a funny space lead-ing from one daughter’s bedroom to the other. They made it into a loft, with LED lights strung along the sides and carpeting, with access from each bedroom. As the girls grew up, the play area became more of a storage area.
Other surprises include a red-vel-vet chair in the guest bathroom — too big to get out the door and just plain fun, Wimmer said.
For the master suite, they added a see-through fireplace, visible from the bedroom and a small sit-ting room. The bedroom, of course, opens through large glass doors, directly to the backyard. And the walk-in closet can be entered from the bedroom or the bathroom, which features two separate sink/vanity ar-eas, an oval tub and large shower.
Loretz said she is mainly using the family’s traditional Christmas decorations, but is supplementing with fresh greens and flowers.
Building from the blue and white seen in many of the rooms, she add-ed white magnolias to the greenery on the living-room mantel, playing off the dark walnut and brick sur-
round. The flameless LED candles can be found at Costco, she said.
Given that she’s an alumna of St. Francis — as is her husband and three children — she said that par-ticipating in Christmas at Our House “is a wonderful way to give back.”
Proceeds from the tour, boutique and raffles benefit The Campaign for Saint Francis High School, in-cluding construction of a new library and student center at the Mountain View campus.
The Junior League plans a week-end of festivities, including a num-ber of options for seeing the four homes in the Atherton area that have been decorated by homeowners and designers. In addition to touring the
homes (either arriving by shuttle or self-driven), highlights of the week-end include a luncheon on Friday, Dec. 2, at noon, and the Mistletoe & Martinis event that includes hors d’oeuvres, martinis and shopping on Friday, beginning at 6:30 p.m., fol-lowed by the Saturday tour.
On Saturday, Dec. 3, at 8 a.m., participating designers will discuss “Dressing Up for the Holidays,” offering holiday tips of the trade, followed by a designer-guided tour beginning at 10:30 a.m.
On both Friday and Saturday, a holiday-themed boutique will be set up at the Rosewood Sand Hill be-tween 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Proceeds from the event support the Junior League’s projects, which include Project READ, Fostering Families, Shelter Network and Done in a Day.

T here is something about work-ing with the land that inspires creativity and innovation. Ask
a farmer what he or she knows how to do and they will look at the el-evation of the sun to see if there is enough day left to even begin to tell you. Usually there isn’t.
There is a tradition in the hor-ticulture professions to be able to do whatever is required and to do it when it is needed and for next to nothing. Here are some tips that can help with the work ahead and keep the spirit of this great country and this season moving forward.
1. Get up before the sun comes up and go to bed when it goes down. This gives you plenty of sleep and gets you to work when you are fresh and thinking the clearest.
2. Don’t stay in bed thinking
about getting up. When you wake up jump out of bed, do your libations, exercise, say your prayers and whatever else you need to do and then get going on the day’s work.
3. Plan the day out so you know what and when you are going to do it. If you need to milk the cows or goats then that has to come first, then breakfast, then the next thing on the list.
4. Study your subject every day. If you plan ahead for planting then you will have the ground prepared by the time the ground temperature or light
or harvest timing is here. Know what is coming, put it on your calendar and work toward that.
5. Know basic and a little advanced first aid. Understand how to stop bleeding, clean a wound, disinfect scratches and treat sprains. Know when you need to ask for help. Know your emergency information like al-lergies, blood type, doctor’s number and insurance information.
6. Learn how to fix things. Why buy a new tool when you can replace the handle yourself? I knew a Mexi-can man who at 70 could outwork me at 40 and when his tools broke he re-placed the handles with steel pipe. You may not need to know how to weld metal but it can’t hurt know-ing how to wire something together, screw a screw or sharpen a knife.
7. Learn how to catch things. Go-phers are a good start, then you may want to catch mice, rats, bugs, dogs, horses, rambunctious roosters and little kids (human). If you cannot catch things they will take over your
lives and that is not OK.8.Know how to build and fix a
fence. There are all kinds and they all have a good job to do. Squirrels are taking over Palo Alto and they are protected so you cannot catch them. You can sure fence them out though, even if it means putting your fruit tree in a cage until you can har-vest. The less food they get the less babies they will have and maybe the cats and hawks can thin out the rest.
9. If you get in an argument with someone, fix it as soon as you can. Remember, the first one to apologize for their part in the conflict is actu-ally the winner.
10. Keep on good terms with your mother. You only have one, and your job is to be grateful for her.

Choosing a Real Estate Professional You Can Trust
“Whether somebody is buying or selling a home, finding a good REALTOR® and understanding his or her role should be the first step in what could be the most important transaction in a lifetime,” according to Gene Lentz, president of the Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS®.
Lentz notes that not all real estate agents or brokers are REALTORS®. A REALTOR® is a licensed real estate agent or broker who is a member of National Association of REALTORS®, the world’s largest professional trade association. The “REALTOR®” designation is used by real estate agents and brokers who adhere to a strict Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics sets REALTORS® apart from other real estate licensees and protects all parties to the real estate transaction, not just a REALTOR®’s client. For a REALTOR®, living with the Code of Ethics means being honest and dependable, never putting your interests ahead of your client’s, and speaking the truth to all parties. If a local Association of REALTORS® finds a REALTOR® in violation of the Code of Ethics, disciplinary action can be imposed. REALTORS® must complete ethics training by taking at least 2.5 hours of instruction at least once every four years to keep membership in NAR.
When evaluating a potential real estate agent, first ask whether the agent is a REALTOR®. Then ask the following questions:
estate license in good standing? To find this information, you can check with your state’s governing agency.
Multiple Listing Service? Multiple Listing Services are cooperative information networks of REALTORS® that provide descriptions of most of the houses for sale in a particular region.
time career?
designations does the agent hold?
discuss your state’s particular definitions of agency, so you’ll know where you stand.
how will the agent help you accomplish your goals? How will the agent show you homes that meet your requirements and provide you with a list of the properties he or she is showing you?
Visit www.silvar.org for a list of REALTORS® by location.

“The Palo Alto Weekly is the best paper you can count on for results.” – Gwen Luce
“I have been a successful Realtor for over 20 years. My clients deserve the best, which is why I always advertise in the Palo Alto Weekly. No other publication is delivered to as many homes in the area, and no other publication’s news coverage focuses specifi cally on local issues that are critical to my clients. I have also had great results promoting my open homes with Palo Alto Online and more recently with “Express”, online daily news digest. The bottom line is the Palo Alto Weekly offers a true winning combination of print and online coverage!”

PALO ALTO 578 University Avenue
276 Loucks Avenue, Los AltosP resenting a stunning contemporary interior, this
beautiful home, built in 2007 and designed by a world-class Bay Area architect, boasts every modern luxury. Bright with natural light, the home’s gorgeous hardwood floors, clean lines, and a soft neutral color palette combine for an ambiance that is chic and styl-ish. The three-level floor plan provides ample room for every need – whether entertaining with friends, enjoy-ing large family gatherings, or just quiet times alone. Formal living areas as well as a stunning kitchen and family room ensemble give way to more casual pursuits on the lower level with flexible space for media, recre-ation, fitness, and even home office needs. Upstairs, three bedroom suites are highlighted by a luxurious master, while a fourth suite on the lower level provides ideal accommodations for guests. Completing the appeal of this special home is the oversized rear yard where a vast deck and level lawn are the perfect set-ting for outdoor entertaining and play. All of this, plus a location in sought-after North Los Altos that puts the Village and top-rated schools all close at hand.
