Casual for a Cause


People often ask me why I love my job at Silverado Senior Living so much, even when there is deadline stress. It's because of days like yesterday. We had our usual morning and afternoon 15-minute exercise classes. We had a big afternoon birthday celebration with cake and ice cream. Bindi-Sue (my Corgi mix pup) and I drove south to meet some people for a tour of Silverado-Encinitas and got to see my favorite miniature horses. And just about everyone in our corporate offices had a "Casual for a Cause" day. We paid $5 each as a donation to the Alzheimer's Association and we got to wear casual clothes one extra summer weekday. In addition to all the work that was accomplished, everyone had smiles on their faces all day, as you can see in the photo above. There's no place like Silverado when it comes to putting a smile on my face....and yes that's me smiling in the middle right behind my associate, Marcelo!
