MEET MY NEW FRIEND

Meet My New Friend

Meet my new friend!  Maybe it was her Pittsburgh Steelers sweatshirt, or just the cool electric car she rides around in every day, but I liked Carol Portis at Leisure World the moment I saw her.  She was kind enough to take over the responsibility to have her friend’s apartment cleaned out.

She heard about us and had us do the job.  It’s the Carol Portis’ of the world that make having good friends so special.My new friend

One of the many things I enjoy about the work that I do is meeting the people I meet.  We tend to get involved in their lives when something significant is happening, be it a job transfer, a move, a college student coming home to move in, a divorce, or whatever it may be.

People like Carol make it easier for others.  She stepped in and made life easier for her friend, when in fact, life may not be that easy on a day-to-day basis for Carol.

I applaud her for the unselfish way she helped out her friend.  As a result, the apartment got cleaned out and her friend’s life was made easier.

Way to go, Carol!  You’re awesome!

WILBUR GETS HIS GUITAR!

Wilbur Performs With His New Guitar Outside Our Store

Wilbur Gets His Guitar!

We picked up this guitar today on a junk removal job.    Later, a guy named Wilbur pulled up to our store just as we were closing.

He saw us take this  instrument off the truck and immediately asked about it.   It is somewhat of a kid’s size instrument with a built-in speaker.  So, we turned the it on, but the speaker wasn’t working.

Wilbur just kept playing.  After a minute, it fired up and sounded great.

Wilbur bought it for $10 and immediately went into the parking lot and delivered a live concert.  Congrats!

Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that bring the most enjoyment.  It’s amazing what only $10 can buy these days.  Even adults can find a great deal of enjoyment with a simple “toy.”

And it doesn’t matter if it’s new either.  This purchase was a great one for Wilbur but he didn’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on it.  Yet, the joy he got out of it was magical to see.  We were thrilled for him and we were glad this wonderful instrument found a new home!

That’s the way to go through life!  Enjoy the your new instrument!
