Franklin's Future Developer? Never Say Never!!!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with RE/MAX Executive Realty - Happily Retired 104763

This is not exactly a real estate post, but it surely may be representative of one after Gina has finished college.

 

I'm usually posting photos of my Granddaughter, Gina, with her great variety of modeling outfits or her new hairstyle.

 

Gina is in her junior year of high school and in the process of getting her driver’s license. She’ll take the road test in December, when she’s 16 and a 1/2.

 

Of all the photos I have, according to my eyes, this is one of the BEST.

 

As you can see, Gina knows how to handle and use heavy equipment. Someday you may see her putting in roads, after she buys a piece of land and has it approved for a few lots. One never knows what the future holds.

 

Gina surely does raise the bar for so many young women.

One can be petite and very feminine and handle any job including rough physical labor, if one wants to participate.

 

I can remember doing strength training with Gina at the YMCA when she was in Junior High, and look at her now!!!

That picture makes me so envious, Barbara.  I've always had a desire to operate equipment like that.  I developed that desire when given a very brief opportunity to operate a Kimatsu earth mover several years ago.  That 10 minutes planted the seed!

Barbara,

O do I agree with this!

I don't worry about you staying healthy!  Although, if you stop staying healthy, I might not be able to follow your lead, haha.
