Default Today was a WOW!!

Talk about an opportunity today and it was a blast!! I signed a waiver so I cant drop certain names per say. But, I did a big photo shoot at Vermejo Park Ranch today. The place was drop dropping!!
As we went thru one of the buildings, appropriately named, Casa Grande, the story of Jane Fonda not liking the carpet, ripping it up and finding the original tile mosaics underneath that were installed in the 1800's were amazing!
The green house, the stone buildings, the great halls and staircases were jaw dropping!
Man I had fun!
One of the daughters took me aside and mentioned how great it was to hear someone tell her dad what to do and actually tell him no. She said everyone is too afraid of him to talk back to him. lol
Then when I opened the check for the last part of their payment I almost fell over! Lets just say, they over paid me! Seriously when does that EVER happen?
I am sure hoping this leads to more opportunities with other folks of his stature!!

Wow! Just about sums it up. Certainly you will fill us in completely someday, right?

Congrats, Michelle

I googled it. WOW.
Did you photograph the owner? Of course you can't say
But I had a look at the website and that place is seriously stunning. When I win Lotto I'll have to put it on my list of places to visit, just amazing.

Congrats on your day, wish I had your day job

PSSST, who are you people? ha ha
People are just people. We all get to croak someday just like the other one. Just some of us get to enjoy it more than others. ha ha
They all laughed when we walked into the greenhouse and I said the place reminded me of Rose Red
I was kinda tickled tho when they mentioned that they heard my radio show the day before . Said I sounded great. Well, it wasnt my show, I was just invited to come talk about my business on a radio show. That was fun too!
Al thats left is to go to Vegas next month for the whole Rangefinder deal. I'm telling ya, my head is spinning!
