Second Second Chance Saturday: Week 250

By
Education & Training with Although I'm retired, I love sharing my knowledge and learning from other real estate industry professionals.

"Sometimes you deserve a second chance, not because you weren't fabulous the first time but because the timing and circumstances weren't quite right. You just got overlooked."
-Carol Williams  

I'm on another road trip so not sure about the fate of Second Chance Saturday for the next few weeks. Let me just say, my intentions are honorable so far and we'll see how that all works out.

This trip is taking me to Boise, Salt Lake City, and Phoenix, then on over to California (if I can afford the gas prices), up through western Oregon, and back home in central Washington. I will be home about mid-July. 😊

Good morning, Carol... read four of your six suggestions, so did pretty well if I say so myself! Enjoy your trip... it you don't get around to posting Second Chance Saturday while away, we'll miss it but will have something to look forward to when you return.

Good morning Carol. It is a reverse day. I missed the Lou Ludwig post from some years ago so not a fast start. That said I caught most of the rest this past week. Go figure! Enjoy your day.

Hi, Carol.

I wish we could meet on your way home to Wenatchee. I will be in and out throughout July, starting after the 4th. Busy month for me too.

I hope you enjoy your trip away. And stay safe!

Hi Aura Alex 
I don't know what my return schedule is yet. I'm remaining flexible at this point. Maybe we can keep in touch and see if we can work something out. If not, we'll figure something out for later. 😊

Carol even though this trip is shorter than your cross country trip, it will probably cost you more in gas.  🤣
