share A Silly or Sweet Work Memory!
I would say the deer that would come into our homes in Phase 1 of Shepherds Creek. The contractors would feed her almost daily and there was one instance (and I won’t mention the contractor) when the worker was laying on the floor and the deer walked right up to him and stood over him and he raised up so fast screaming and running to his truck that you couldn’t help but laugh at his reaction to her. Needless to say, they became friends.
If you were stranded on a deserted island and you were able to choose one coworker to be stranded with, who would you choose and why?
I couldn’t pick just one. I would say Reggie because he’s laid back, and a lot of fun to joke around with and then I would say my little brother from another mother, Hunto because I love to play practical jokes on him almost daily. I couldn’t stand not having him around for me to do that!! I will promise you this, we may not make it back to civilization, but we will have a blast on that Island!!
Thanks for sharing, Dean! We sure do love you and all that you bring to Magnolia Homes!
