Picture 011I LOVE this photo – it’s my daughter fly fishing in the Truckee River.  She was 7 at the time.  Sometimes I gaze at the photo wishing I were someplace as peaceful as this!  It’s good to think about it on Fridays as I gear up for a busy weekend!

If you’d like to talk about real estate – if you’re ready to make a purchase or start thinking about getting your home ready to market, give me a call.  I promise I won’t have my head in a river!

Enjoy and Happy Friday!

Well, today was the very last week-day of summer vacation.  Arlington and Fairfax County students head back to school on Tuesday after Labor Day.  I thought I’d show you some of the schools that I’ve passed by over the last few days:

Tuckahoe Elementary School

Nottingham Elementary School

Taylor Elementary School

IMG_8935

Jamestown Elementary School

Swanson Middle School

Williamsburg Middle School

IMG_8930

Yorktown High School

Of course there are MANY wonderful schools in our region – we’re so fortunate to have some of the best public school options in the country!

I also saw TONS of buses out this week.  I’m not sure if they’re practicing their routes or what, but they were EVERYWHERE!

A few other funny things happen – there are all of a sudden huge traffic snarls – time delays – but notice all of the smiles on the adults’ faces on Tuesday – you’ll see a lot of smiling little faces, too!

If you’ve got a little one – I hope you enjoyed the summer with them and that they have a successful first day back at school on Tuesday.

As always, if you came here looking for real estate wisdom, feel free to contact me directly or, just wait until next week when I’ve got a lot of great topics lined up for you!

Happy Friday

Jennifer

Yesterday as I sat in a training class my mind began to wander, and I became distracted….  yes, I admit it, I wasn’t really giving the instructor my full and undivided attention.  As I looked around the room (around the floor really) I noticed that all of the women sitting around me all expressed themselves through their toes – you know, some had a french pedicure, others dark red, others bright pink, orange, purple, green, blue… so it made me curious and I set out on a mission this morning.  I even have a friend who usually has rhinestones on her toes – but not today…

For today’s Friday Fun post I decided to bring my camera along during my full day of work in the real estate world and ask everyone I ran across if I could take a picture of their toes – I got a lot of funny looks – that’s for sure.

Here are all of the toes I was able to capture today.  There are people who ONLY allowed me to photograph their toes under the condition of complete anonymity!  Some I chased down in parking lots, others were still in their pajamas as we spoke, but once I explained my mission for the day, most everyone was happy to participate.

Enjoy:

Mine are in the somewhere in the pictures above – any guesses?  And I ended my day today inspired enough to stop into my local nail salon and get a pedicure!  What a nice way to end a busy week!

Happy Friday

Jennifer

PS  This was a lot of fun – thanks to all my friends and colleagues who allowed me to display their toes on my blog!
