After my now-normal coffee and Bible study in my cozy chair routine, I headed to the office where I feel mostly caught-up lately! We’re closing in on 100 properties and maybe it’s the calm before the storm, but I’ll take the calm anytime, even if it really is before the storm.
I had a 2.5 hour drive through windy hills to a place I’d never been… so naturally I called up my mom to protect me should I encounter a bear or break down on the side of the road. We took off to Ponderosa to check out a new cabin we may manage. We chatted the whole way up, topics from Buckeye trees to Ree Drummond, and to our surprise, as we came around a bend on The Great Western Divide, we saw a brown animal in the road. It was a big cow! Another cow ran across the road while a few others stayed on their side so we could cross. What a treat to see a herd of cows hanging out on the mountain. On the way home, we stopped at the Ponderosa Lodge for lunch/dinner. The lodge is currently for sale, $1.5 mil, and though our investing funds are tied up on our downtown renovation right now, it was fun to think about what I’d do if we bought it. Wedding venue. Vacation rentals. Snow plow rentals. So many possibilities. Bakery. Coffee shop. Maybe the new owners will need property management.
When I got home I had a meeting with my team about using influencers to gain momentum on our stagnant listings. I love my team.
The kids went swimming and then my parents came over. The sun was already down- about 8:30- and we all went out to feed the animals and pick veggies from the garden. Jack, in his Spider-Man Halloween costume, rode on the roof of the golf cart, spider man style. When we came in we sat around the kitchen island, Adrian made salsa with the garden veggies and I made a caprese charcuterie board. Jack and Ava packed their backpacks and went home with mom and dad to stay the night, even though they’ll be back by 8:30am for Wednesday morning coffee.
