Pleasant Persistence

Albert takes his bride for a ride
Quote for the Day:
"Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments"

      Sonnet 116 Shakespeare 1609
                    
Pleasant Persistence
This past weekend Albert and  I indulged in a respite from my campaign to enjoy a Sunday afternoon celebrating our wedding anniversary.

We were married at the Marble Island resort long before the fire and that day was as glorious as this Sunday last.  Albert is not only my husband,  but we are partners in the business he founded in the mid 1980's, Preston Property Management and Leasing Services Inc.  In the early years of the business I worked full time as a Rehabilitation Specialist for a local Medical Equipment company and provided administrative assistance on evenings and weekends.  I joined Albert in the early 90's when the demands of the our growing company required my daily  presence on the front lines.  With pleasant persistence, forward planning and an eye on customer service in a very demanding profession, we established a solid business of which we are truly proud.  As property managers overseeing well over 400 units in northwestern Vermont  we are daily served a mixed offering of challenges from the very mundane maintenance complaints to  far more demanding issues usually revolving around tenant relations.

Throughout it all we have created a balance of our talents serving our customers, providing quality housing opportunities for a wide range of budgets and  building a future for ourselves and our employees.  And when the lights are low we still manage to laugh, repose and reflect  all the while keeping our marriage and our business alive, fresh and cherished.
 
Word for the Day:
impediment  something that impedes: a hindrance or an obstruction.
As a problem solver like myself, impediments are only hindrances to overcome.
