Top Ten Moments for 2015

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Solano Pacific BRE #01474067

Ummmmm, yes it is have been sometime since I have written anything.  I know my trusted friends on Active Rain encourage me to get back in the saddle again.   It is exasperating for them to find a post from 2014 to comment on...in no particular order other than me typing as they pop into my head:

  1. Found value in writing affirmations everyday..."I will enjoy receiving x number of listings in 2015" Just this small effort will bring you business!
  2. Recently cruised the Panama Canal which was on our bucket list.
  3. Our daughter got engaged to a wonderful guy, they bought a house in San Antonio
  4. Other daughter moved to San Antonio to attend school, lives with her twin sister.
  5. My husband is the trustee for his Dad's trust, which meant moi worked all details.  You never want to be a trustee, trust me.  The highlight was getting the heirs a Christmas present of distributions.
  6. I turned 62...power in knowing I could get social security!
  7. Got elected to Solano Association of Realtors Board of Directors for 2016.
  8. Continue to have the best Business Partner in Jenny Castaneda.
  9. After 7 years our dog Toby, AKA, Devil Dog is on doggy meds and is some what anxiety free!
  10. In addition to the Panama Cruise, took two more weeks of vacation.
  11. 39 years of marriage to a marvelous man, we have known each other so long that he could not grow a mustache and now I can.

Melanie,  I am glad to see you posting again here in the Rain!! Indeed, managing an estate, even a trust a estate, is a task. No one truly knows until one does it.  Mark that off your husband's bucket list ... I know you did all the work.

Now, about that mustache?

Melanie, I thought I had made a comment on this post, but sorry!    You have had lots going on, and sure would love to cruise the Panama Canal.    Would love to see you here more often!

You should consider bumping up that time off, Melanie. I try to take at least two months of vacation every year. That seems fair. Work like a dog for 10 months and take 2 months off. I'm not waiting for retirement to enjoy life.
