Do the Right Thing.

Lets jump in the car and go see Joanne in Frisco

We'll see Ken and Mary on the go grab a Beau Jo's

Avoid that wreck, we're in Breck , go figure it's snow!

Call Jeff we are making a real estate show!

Marinana and Derek kissed and exchanged rings

Kissing Camels are something special in the Springs

Sabine is so helpful to all those with boots & wings

Mountains, lakes, falls, and you know - weddings

Trevella lived in our state but now lives in Hilo

And our shutter bug Kristal knows all about Relo

James did a T.V. show where did he get that a halo?

Chris Elizabeth is in Florida but loves to ski Colorado

Bonnie, James and Dena are from Pueblo

We have it all,l but we know you want lotto..

Come see our landmarks, buildings and bungalow

Now have some green chilli and see the Union Depot!

And Donna Phillips is my great resource

It's about the water and of course the horse

Tisha, Clifton and Lonetta are my office chums

The rule is no doldrums, tantrums only foursomes

There is no debate we are all in real estate

Jennifer, Steve, and Ray are here for you today

It's the experience, pleasure and not the pay

Tell me again did I measure that hallway?

Come to Colorado and see some of our green

We have a Governor wants a wind machine

It's the mountains, rivers, creeks the whole scene

Colorado is more than one thing, it's built green!

When I'm discouraged it does me no good to try and think happy thoughts. Don't try and cheer me up, it ain't going to happen. But I will look to the past for possible answers for the future. Reading autobiographies is a good way to learn from others mistakes, and they succeeded or they wouldn't have their own books.

Gracie by George Burns was a great love story, you will cry. And Love Lucy by Lucille Ball will inspire you to fight. 

Thoughts for the day:

Congratulations to everybody who entered the "Selling the Old West" contest. The spirit of the contest was reflected in every post written. Best of all the participates did a great job! Thank you all for joining in on the fun. Together we can show the world thru our writing that Colorado is the place to be!

The judging was close, the winner has been selected! And because the judges were so close there is also an honorable mention.

Living in Littleton  First place!

Old West still alive  Honorable Mention

 Thank you to the judges : George Souto   and   Chris Elizabeth Griffith

As Memorial Day approaches I'd like to wish you all a happy, safe and memorable weekend. Please remember those who are servicing our country now and those who served in the past. We enjoy such great freedoms in this country, please take time to honor those who have preserved and protected these privileges.

I've been MEME'd by Stephanie Edwards - Musa  I've been meme'd before but it's been awhile. And I don't think there is much in my life that people don't already know. I'm a pretty up front person, some would say down to earth : )

So here are 5 things you don't know about me:

• 1) I'm a size 6, designer tags are always incorrect
• 2) The bank often forgets that there are a few extra 0's before the decimal point.
• 3) I'm in love, but I can't tell you with whom until the Presidential primaries are over.
• 4) I live in a small town to keep the press guessing and confused. Has anybody seen Anderson Cooper lately?
• 5) I keep my accolades in a closet as to not embarrass my frequent house guests.

But there are 5 things you would never guess about me:

• 1) I appeared on 3 episodes of American Band Stand (if you don't know what this is ask your parents). Remember the Bay City Rollers? S A T U R D A Y(clap) Night.............
• 2) I was on the front page of the Green Sheet, a long gone Los Angeles newspaper. I was 7 and not VERY unhappy. I was wearing a Blue Bird Uniform and holding a baton.
• 3) I think morticians are the funniest people around, my father was a mortician.
• 4) I caught a 20" Salmon on the Columbia river when I was approx 10 one of the biggest that year. That year I feel in love with a long deserted Victorian sitting on the river.
• 5) I'm fourth generation from Los Angeles on both sides of the family. Does this make me an angel?

Do you do what you do everyday for the money? Some of us probably do, and there isn't anything wrong with that. After all we do have to put food on the table and pay the bills. But many of us in the real estate field or any other field for that matter, do what we do for other reasons.

Most of my life I've been accused of mothering people, being the constant girl scout, being a goody two shoes. I'm OK with all of that. Doing what's right in my mind isn't a decision making process. In my mind doing what is right is just what you do with out thinking about it.

Last weekend my little sister (yes we really are sisters) graduated college at the top of her class, with national honors and PFK. Paula is an American Sign Language interpreter. Paula does what she does because her heart is in the right place. Not so long ago the doctors didn't expect Paula to live, and if she did she would be severally impaired. Long story short, after 2 years of being unable to speak she is healthy today. Paula can speak in a manner most of us understand. But now she can speak for those you can't speak for themselves in an audible tone.

Last weekend was also Paulas birthday, mothers day and her husband left for Iraq. As you might imagine all of this is emotionally draining. But Paula is doing what she thinks is right. So, again, I ask all of you. Why do you do what you do?
