...Hmmmm...What to Say...

...other than I had no idea that my "reputation" precedes me! I have been making calls to some of the lending institutions I will be dealing will now that I am in Oregon. Some of the comments I have gotten from people have been things like ...
"oh..I just came back from a **** luncheon where they talked about you...and I was so excited to have a message from you when I got back!" OR " yes...I was at ***dealership and they said that you were at Wentworth...I am so excited to have you here!" and something like ..."I have never had so much fun on a dealership call!"
...and then there is the "Happy Happy Dance" that I am trying to teach my "new guys"... I actually called one of my "old guys" (Thanks Stephen!) to describe the "Happy Happy Dance" ... believe it or not... I had two of my Oregonian guys following the directions coming from the voice on the speakerphone!! All of us were smiling AND I know the guys - although possibly embarrassed - did it ..and had HUGE smiles... which is what brings me to my point....LIFE...we may not feel like smiling all the time - but when we do - we feel better and others around us feel better ...so today and tomorrow - if you do nothing else - please make someone who is not smiling -SMILE ... they will feel better...and so will YOU!!

Nature & Beauty at It's Best...

Sometimes we just forget to look around us to see the simple beauty of nature and the things that have been created. I have had a chance to see some things that many people may never had a chance to see...and I would like to share a few of these things with you...

This bronze ball was in the middle of the Vatican Courtyard in Italy. We never found out what it was...

We snapped this shot as we left the port of Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.

This was a very quick "on the run" shot of this pot in a courtyard of a church in Malaga, Spain...
You will be able to see more photos if you take a look at this site ...to finish off this post...There you will also see a photo of a simple sunset taken in Sacramento, Ca...so always look for the beauty of things...simple things...no matter where you may be!

...New Places...New Faces...

I will admit, I have been a little slow updating my blog...and I do apologize to all...but who can blame me when you can enjoy views and scenery like this instead!

Yes....I am working...and at a great dealership in a larger market than I thought I would be in!

My new place of employment is Wentworth Buick Pontiac GMC! This dealership also has Medium Duty GMC rigs too...which may be good for some of my "iRV2 Family"!

I will go more into the Wentworth family business at a later time...but for now...I will say...I am excited to be settling down into my new position, at a new place...and with many new faces!!

Life Changing?

Maybe...maybe not...Ok, so things are never as they seem to be. Yes, today should have been my first day on the job at the new dealership...but life does not play out like you think it may. The person I should have been replacing actually had an unknown medical condition.He had surgery and seems to be back to 'normal' so...here I am somewhere in Oregon...without a job...but I am not discouraged. I do have a couple of things lined up that I am working on and I will keep everyone posted...
Just remember...You never know what may happen...You may think you have a plan -
you may do something in an innocent manner - that ends up someplace you never imagined...but do remember things may never be as they seem to be...hmmmm...life...just live it as best you can...right or wrong...LIVE IT...as best you can!

By the way...even though my husband may be with me at anytime ...he has asked that I not let everyone know where I am...so I can tell you that I will NOT be updating my location in a timely fashion..and starting now...I will be showing you where I was...not necessarily where I am!
