When i was in elementary school i used to ride in the parade every year on the back of my dad’s black t-bird.  My friend and i would throw candy. One time we had pluto on our car and other times the mayor of piedmont – a woman at that time.  My dad always said, “one day you will be the Mayor of Piedmont”.  Well maybe not the Mayor but having the Only Real Estate Office in Piedmont and always having our doors open to the community is pretty close to Mayor in my book.  Thanks Dad for the Vote of Confidence!  Who knows, perhaps i will be someday.

Happy 4th Piedmont – This year parade goer’s put their chairs out on Friday before the Sunday parade.  That is earlier than ever before.  We had purchased chairs for our clients, family and friends so we had to get out there and put out our chairs too.  It was a bright sunny lovely day.  A real summer day.  We had the Espresso Cart and bagels, cookies and face painting for the kids.  It was our 2nd Annual Highland Partners 4th of July Kick Off Party and it went off without a hitch.  Don’t forget the balloons and bags and bags of candy.  As many know, i grew up in Piedmont and when i was young 342 Highland, our office now, was the HIGHLANDER.  It was a candy and gift store.  Everyday at lunch or after school or even at brunch I would walk up with friends and my typical order would be a TAB and a RED LICORCE ROPE and when i was younger, a NOW AND LATER, a BIG HUNK or a Watermelon or Cherry Stick.  Where did the time fly! i swear i can remember it vividly!Enjoy breakfast and an espresso, compliments of HIGHLAND PARTNERS!!  I just love the activity, sharing and community involvement.  Join us anytime guys!Set up for the 4th of July is no easy task – thanks to Michele our office manager – see below in the HP Visor – makes lists and checks them twice – Napkins, CHECK, 4th of July Plates, CHECK, Balloons, CHECK, Facepaint, CHECK and soooo much more!  Let the set up begin and of course, clean up always follows.Delia, one of my favorite clients stopped by with her husband and darling daughter to say hello.  I loved having them there – they just moved to town and i can see and hear that they are enjoying their new community and their daughter, the PARK.  Wait til they start school at Havens! WOW!  The school is just amazing!!
