Groovy Girl

Finn: Loves to go swimming with me. She is quite bossy when we swim. She prefers the warm shallow pool to the deep pool. She likes to stand under the slide and let the water run over her hair. She calls it a shower. Right now she is afraid of sliding down the slide. Sometimes she climbs out of the pool and takes off running. One time a lifeguard caught her as she peeled away toward the deep end. She was wearing water wings so I wasn't worried... I just didn't want her to wipe out.

Paul: His favourite toy right now appears to be Finn's blonde groovy girl. Maybe my mother has finally found her future shopping partner!!!!

My Dad: I remember when we were really little my Dad would take us with him to work on Saturday mornings. At the time he was a real estate agent. On the way, we'd stop at a diner style restaurant called Gulliver's Travels for breakfast. We'd also stop at his office. I'd love to look through the MLS cards. I liked to tap dance on the hard plastic mat under my great-grandfather's desk chair. I loved to play with all the ink stamps. In those days, people used alot of ink stamps. Today I still love using a real ink stamp to mark my copy letters or my file copies. I think I'm one of the only people at work who still uses an ink stamp.

My dad continued to take me to work with him pretty much until I graduated from university. I spent several summers working at Milmine's. My dad treated every client and customer with compassion and respect and with Appreciation. Not too many businesses these days really appreciate their clients. Mostly, they treat clients like a nuisance.
