SOMETIMES REALTORS LIKE TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING OTHER THAN REAL ESTATE

Hahahahahaha I can hear you all laughing but it's true! We live, love and learn things just like regular folks in northern michigan...and of course, I'm going to give you some examples.

A man, stopped me on River Street last night to tell me my back brakelight was out. It was his opinion that I should get a new bulb immediately in order to save the lives of unsuspecting motorists who may rear end me or deservably get a ticket ASAP. A little vein on his forehead looked like it was ready to blow so I took him seriously.

This morning I got up, walked 5 miles, hopped in my Trailblazer and headed to Synder's Shoes to gape at the shoes on sale. The store had been closed for a couple of days getting ready for this huge event and opened promptly at 8 AM. I was there and the place was MOBBED. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a killer pair of heels to wear to my high school reunion in August, but I'll try again tomorrow....no woman would disagree that with an August 14th deadline this is my highest priority.

But I did not forget the brakelight. I stopped at Benchley's 309 Parkdale Ave, which is now Meineke's, an auto parts store to help me out. I don't own tools of my own. Again, just not a priority in my life...

I'm a familar customer as I originally purchased my Trailblazer there when it was a GM dealer. They always had GREAT customer service and they kept alot of their old employees....

I was not surprised that changing the light bulb took about 20 minutes because the screws were frozen/stripped and difficult to remove as well as replace. When it was all said and done the final total on my bill was only $4.32!!!! They were so nice, just charged me for the bulb it's no wonder I will continue to be a repeat customer....I highly reccommend them!

Even though I work 7 days a week I'm taking Friday at noon till Saturday at noon off to walk in the Relay for Life event in Manistee. My goal is to walk 15 minutes of each hour for 24 hours. As a cancer survivor all I can say is, cancer changed my life forever, some good, some bad, but it is a permanent change I will always have to contend with...and I hope we find a cure for it soon.

Back to real estate...
