The weather was so beautiful on Sat that after work Spouse and Steven & Thad and I went for a drive. We ended up in Ocean City, MD and had dinner.
Sunday's weather was more of the same mild temperatures, low humidity, and lots of sunshine. Spouse & I had coffee and talked on the back porch for about an hour, then decided to get busy. We donned our gardening gloves and trimmed some scrub trees that had grown out from our big holly and from the lace hydrangea that cover the back fence. Then we trimmed the 'crazy' roses and sprinkled a bunch of Preen on the beds which had just been weeded by a school kid I hired. The yard looks really good!
We both showered and dressed, then went out for a little lunch. Spouse's idea was to get food from Taco Bell and take it to the beach parking lot and eat it in the car, overlooking the beach. (He's a little weird about some things like this.) Then we went for a little drive near the beach, got air in 1 of the tires on Spouse's car, and then got his car washed. He never gets his car cleaned so I was happy to do it for him.
We relaxed with the dogs and watched a little TV, then met Steven & Thad for dinner. The weather was still so nice out that we opted for an outdoor table at dinner. I love to eat outdoors, as long as its not really hot or super humid or buggy.
Today I gave Big Ella a bath in preparation for this weekend's car show. Yep, she's a big lady so it took about an hour to wash and dry her, and about 45 minutes to scrub her white walls.
She looks great, huh??
This coming weekend is the Straight Eights Car Club's annual car show.
I've mentioned before that realtors/agents sometimes offer other agents incentives for touring their agent open houses (AOH). Personally I need no incentive. If I have the time and have never been inside the house or neighborhood, I'm glad to go and educate myself.Other realtors who've been at this for years probably feel like they've 'seen it all' and find less value in attending the OAH. Thus the incentives.I mentioned a few weeks ago that I won $50. cash in an AOH drawing. Sweet!!! Well, this week I won a free car wash from a local builder for coming and touring their model home. 
You may not have thought about it much but realtors need car washes all the time since we frequently drive clients around in our cars, so I was thrilled to get the car wash gift certificate. Since I'm showing property tomorrow, I'm using my gift certificate and getting the car washed this evening.
