4 Months Later

Holy Moly, it’s been 4 months since I posted anything! There’s been a lot going on.

On the mortgage side, those of us at Beacon flirted with transitioning to mortgage bankers at the end of 2009. We didn’t make the jump for many reasons…until the end of March. We are now Cole Taylor Mortgage, a division of Cole Taylor Bank. Cole Taylor Bank is based in Chicago, and has been around for 80 years. The mortgage division is new, though spearheaded by industry legends from the legendary ABN-AMRO mortgage group.

We are the first retail branch in Pennsylvania for Cole Taylor Mortgage! While there may be a learning curve with systems and processes, the end result is already phenomenal. Local processing and in-house underwriting means quicker decisions on files and shortens the cycle to get a loan closed. Local appraisers. Excellent rates. It’s made things fun again!

On other topics, I have been on QVC a few times selling the world’s best hose products, those made in Oregon by Water Right.

I am once again coaching Kate’s Ephrata U12 Girls Rec soccer team. Got trounced in week 1, but every other game has been close, with 1 win and 1 tie to go with 3 losses.

Massanutten Was Massasomethin…Somethin Cold!

Lori’s folks Christmas present to us was a weekend with them and the kids at a resort in Northwestern Virginia called Massanutten. We got there New Year’s Day and on Saturday we went snow tubing. In the video it looks ideal, sunny and clear, perfect, right. OMG it was the coldest I’ve ever felt. I swear in 18 years in Rochester, NY I never felt this cold. The wind was ripping us apart as we waited for our turns to tube. Somehow Kate & Nathan were oblivious to it all, but us grown ups bailed and went inside for hot chocolate in due time.

We thawed out later, see the next post.

Splish, Splash! Taking the Plunge

After freezng our niblets off on the snowtube run, we warmed up and had a blast in the indoor waterpark. EXCEPT I lost my wedding band! Amazingly the staff found it the next day!
