Working Mean & Working Smart


Well, it finally happened, TRES Left Me!
Now, don't get all freaked out, I'm talking about Tres moving to an actual store front. My home has drastically changed! The office is now finally the family room and the front room is a neat and tidy greeting area free of toys and crumbs that used to collect in front of the boob tube like a magnet. It's like 80% of the mess I spent cleaning up from debris created by our business has disappeared! I'm sad to lose having Tres here 24/7 while he's working but he is less than a mile away and he can now actually have hours. When people call or show up on our door step at 6am or 11pm he simply can't help them because he is not at the office. The work-a-holic can finally devote his off time to us and not drop everything when the phone rings incessantly . The best part is that he is in his own store front that the next door guys "The Soccer Shack" pay for! They are doing it so that Tres can be there at thier beck and call. They do so much buisness with him and they already were paying for this empty space they weren't useing that it was a natural conclusion for them. Tres has even spent his off time the first day building shelves for the Shack people instead of them hireing it out. We've known them ever since they bought the buisness and they are the best to work with.
And speaking of work, that's was all Tres ever did before this move.
Seriously there have been many a night where he NEVER actually went to sleep. He will even work all the next day. 36 hour days are not so fun, but I respect his commitment to our family to make sure I never have to go to work professionally. ( though I do like to help him out with some of his work from time to time)
President Grant declared:
“I am a firm believer that work does not kill anyone. …" “I have never seen the day when I was not willing to do the
meanest work … rather than be idle."
So, here's to you Tres, for doing everything you can to be a hard working man, still find the time to work on our home and, spend time with your family. *Yeah!

ps. here is another funny angle of the dude who now has been identified as Teresa's Uncle Greg taking photos one in water and one by land.What a funny guy! HE HE! that's Ted in the background)
