Come on.  'Fess up.  When you're in real estate, or sales in general for that matter, it's hard to turn it off at the end of the day - especially when you have to make a concerted effort to LET your day END.  Am I right? 

I was just casually talking with a client-turned-very good friend who moved from Oldham County (just north of Louisville, Kentucky, which is our home), to El Paso.  We were talking about her time share in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and before long we were planning a trip!  Can you say, "GIRLFRIEND ADVENTURE"??!!  We invited a mutual friend, and the three of us jumped in my car and headed for the Great Smokey Mountains.

Sometimes you just have to recharge your batteries, especially when you work a much-more-than-full-time job like real estate sales.  That's the beauty of the Team Approach to selling real estate.  Every now and then I just gotta get away, and Jerry understands that.  He takes care of our business and keeps everything running smoothly when I'm away, and I do the same for him.  Sometimes he likes to take his fishing boat and go away for a few days with our son or some buddies and "drown a worm" (as he puts it).  The arrangement works well.

Just wanted to share a few pictures of our trip:

Wonderful walk in the woods !

This was the only bear we saw all week!

The best times were spent right here - listening to the water rush over the rocks.
