Happenings for the month of May

May is a busy month!! Today is May 5th....lots of important things to remember....showings, putting offers together, inspections, follow ups, etc. I love being busy!! Not too busy to remember these dates...May 5 is Cinco de Mayo, but more importantly it is Mom's birthday...she is 84 years young today.

When Mom was 80, she had her birthday on a cruise ship with the whole family aboard... check that off the "bucket list" We all had a great time! Not anything quite as elaborate planned this year, but a nice celebration is planned. I enjoy birthdays (not mine however)....Sandy's is next, she hits a milestone this year on May 12th.....the big 60. Big plans for that one as well!! Nephews, nieces, grand kids, Mothers Day, and probably a few more I'm missing or can't remember. This was sent to me today from my contact lens company....time to reorder and don't forget these dates...
