Hello Everyone! It’s that time again. You know, the annual Client Appreciation Party! We usually plan it for the
middle of spring, which we all know comes right after winter. However, as we all know there was no winter this
year in Anchorage, just a late fall and early spring. But you know, we here at the Mary Cox Team send out a calendar
every year and that’s what we go by, thank goodness. So we ask that you all mark your calendar for Thursday
May 7th 2015 from 5:30-7:30pm right here in the multipurpose room on the Secord floor of the Remax/Dynamic
building 3350 Midtown Place. An R.S.V.P. would be great as we can gauge the amount of food to have on hand. So
please let us know if we can expect to see you here on May 7th…
Julia is leaving the team to have her baby. We all wish her the best and look forward to the days she brings the little
guy by for a visit. We welcome Alyssa Wilkerson as the new transaction coordinator.
Alyssa is a life-long Alaskan, a graduate of Dimond High and obtaining her bachelor’s
degree in Accounting/Business Management from UAA. She is also a new mother: of a new
puppy of which she now has two. Most important perhaps is that Alyssa is a homeowner.
Two years ago she bought her own place when she was learning the business of mortgage
title at Alaska USA Title Agency, LLC where she excelled: and now we are lucky to have
her on OUR team. Having been through the process herself, Alyssa will be open and
understanding of the “speed bumps” we all encounter in the home buying process. So, welcome Alyssa.
Don’t forget now. If you can make it Thursday April 7th 5:30-7:30pm I would love to see you. Dave and Lester will
also be around as well.
Until then,
Take Care

Swing into Spring
Chicken & Artichoke Pasta
8 Simple Decorating Rules
Ingredients
4 cups uncooked bow tie pasta
1 pound chicken tenderloins, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablesspoons olive oil, divided
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped green onions
2 tablespoons chicken broth
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes with roasted garlic,
undrained
1 can (14 ounces) water-packed quartered artichoke hearts,
rinsed and drained
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons cold water
1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
1. A spot to sit + mirror + table = instant “finished” foyer.
2. The ideal coffee table is 2/3 as wide as teh sofa and a couple of
inches lower than the seats (typically 14 to 16 inches high).
3. Mount a mirror opposite a window. It’s the best way to bounce
light around the room and create the illusion of a bigger room.
4. A rug should never float in the middle of a floor. Place it under at
least the front feet of a chair, a couch, or a bed to anchor it.
5. Think in threes. Similar-sized accessories on a shelf or a table look
better grouped in odd numbers. Even amounts can feel too uniform
and stiff.
6. Palette math: Choose one color for 60 percent of the room, a
second color for 30 percent, and a third color that’s brighter than
the others for the remaining 10 percent.
7. You’ll never mess up pattern mixing if you combine bold largescale prints with subtle, smaller-scale prints in complimentary
colors.
8. Throw-pillow math: two 20-inch square pillows in a matching
bold pattern, one on each end of the sofa; two 16-inch pillows in
a coordinating solid color, overlapping the square pillows; and one
lumbar with a subtle pattern (like a pinstripe) in the middle.
Directions
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a
large skillet, saute chicken in 1 tablespoon olive oil until no longer
pink. Remove and keep warm.
2. In the same skillet, saute mushrooms and onions in remaining
oil until tender; add broth, stirring to loosen browned bits from
pan. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in the tomatoes, artichokes,
salt, and chicken. Cook and stir for 4-5 minutes or until heated
through.
3. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually stir into
pan. Bring to boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened.
Stir in basil. Drain pasta; serve with chicken micture and cheese.

Sports Corner
What an amazing season! There are still three great
tournaments that lay ahead. “Fools on Ice” and
“Labatts” are for the Women and “Over the Chill” is a
Co-ed tournament in Wasilla. We are currently figuring out the
run schedule and will keep you posted. Lets put a “Spring” in our
skate!
The Boys
& The Bea
Shadow: It’s that time again. This is just the dogs reminder of the Client
Appreciation Party coming up May 7, 2015 from 5:30 until 7:30 at the
RE/MAX Dynamic Properties building located at 3350 Midtown Place.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the concept (big word for a
doggie :) ) allow me to assist. The Party is Mom’s way of thanking her
clients for working with or just staying in touch, with her. It used to be
at our house (which is when everyone got to see me and the gang) but
it got too much so they moved it to accommodate more of you folks that
wanted to come.
Rudy: Mom also makes it between 5:30-7:30 so you all can get home
for dinner (which by the way is VERY important) at a reasonable hour.
They have food at the Party but it’s not quite dinner. “Finger food” I’ve
heard it called, which I assume is not unlike “Paw” food but probably
more enticing (my own BIG word :) )
Roxy
Kovu: Buenos Dias! This is to remind everyone that the Party is after Cinco de Mayo which may mean “pass
the five mayonnaises” whatever that may mean. Anyway, Mom realizes many clients do celebrate that day, so
we choose another one. Now that may mean two parties in one week…
Sara: And one can have too many parties, but if there’s Kibble present, then all bets are off. We party all day
because dad says we are “the party dogs” Actually he sings it which tends to dampen the mood but we know
what he means.
Nook: I have never been. I’ve just seen it on Facebook even though I don’t know what Facebook even is. All my
bird friends that used to eat my food out of my bowl are on Twitter which would make sense for birds. I think
there is a Dog book. If anyone knows please let my mom know.
Scooter: I’m with Kovu. No more parties at the house. I need my sleep. I do wear myself out being up four hours
every day. But I can listen to the party on the radio, so that would be fine. I am by the way, very cute and you
will all miss seeing me. Especially the wee humans, but have fun anyway.
Roxy: and please, don’t forget to RSVP to the office. Mom doesn’t want any leftover food. Actually, that leftover
food idea sounds pretty good :) Awww…but please help with the headcount and let us know you’re coming.
Mom would love to see you. Oh, and you will get to meet the new human, Alyssa, along with the old humans
Dave and Lester. Parteeeeee!!!!!
