Surprises

Ann Smith from Chicago Title Escrow surprised me and left Chicago Title, she is moving to another company to handle commercial escrows. I worked with Ann when I was in Mortgage Banking. Ann was with Verdugo Escrow; I will really miss working with her. Her files were transferred to the Valencia branch – what a nightmare! But, the escrow officer over there is great. Will be working with Kristen Hartwick at Glenoaks Escrow in the future.

Another busy week; trying to prepare to escape to Balboa Island for a week with my sister and her two adopted sons, Alexi & Vadim, and my cousin’s children, John and Samantha and of course, George, Kristen and Jinan. Bruce Taylor also rented a house, so Jinan will be happy to have Sarah there as well. Natalie ordered a notebook computer for me, so Natalie will be taking the laptop and I will use the Notebook in Balboa. I just love GoToMyPC.com - I can access my computer from Balboa, print contracts, etc. and Natalie can handle the rest. Of course, licensed agents, Diana Monday, Rita Johnson and Chris Zastrow will help if we need it.

Met, Larry Oliver, a mortgage lender at Starbucks on Monday, I know Larry and his daughter Natasha from Gladiators Cheer. La Canada is a small town and it was great seeing Larry again.

Had a Ticktocker summer social (pool party) here yesterday for Jinan’s class, there are a nice group of girls, and it was good to see them again.
