Don't Let Anyone Tell You "You Can''t Do That" - 01/28/10 08:22 AM
Hello Active Rainers Have you thought of an idea that you thought would be great, only to be discouraged by someone saying "You Can't Do That". 
Have a look at these short videos.  A high school's girl basketball team challenged their Coach to what seemed an impossible task. 
Everybody said it couldn't be done.  The Coach being a good sport took on the challenge... the rest is history.
First, watch the ABC version...
 
 
 
Now, as videoed at the school...

Birds of Prey... Not Into Sharing - 01/24/10 10:16 AM
Birds of Prey... Not Into SharingDuring our trip earlier this month to Marco Island we were returning to the condo one afternoon to find this fine feathered friend feasting on a fresh catch of fish. 
He would let us get pretty close rather than fly away without finishing lunch. 
We weren't going to get any closer... look at those claws, didn't want to be on the wrong side of those.

Do You Believe In UFO's? You know, flying saucers, Route 66, Area 51 and the likes. Well, last night we had just had a great meal at the Baton Rouge in Woodbridge, Ontario.  By the way our only beverage was water and a little lemon.  We jumped into the car and started to drive up the road.

Well they say it is because you let the day just fall as it may, instead of planning your day.  Humph! Well maybe. Whoever 'THEY' are also say "if you don't plan your day someone or something will!"

WE'VE BEEN 'KICK STARTED' into 2010!

The main event may be over, but it is one that will be long remembered. The main event was the Re/Max Atlantic-Ontario Canada's Kick Start 2010 held in the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
It appeared that there were at least 4000 Remaxers in attendance and full of energy. Over the course of the two days, so much was learned, friendships were formed and re-connections made.We were taught by Home Stager Carla Woolnough.

CLASSIC MOVIE NIGHT - 01/16/10 09:26 PM
CLASSIC MOVIE NIGHT - GONE WITH THE WIND with Clarke Gable, Vivian Leigh and Hattie McDaniel. WOW, What an old movie!  It was over 3 hours long, complete with a scheduled INTERMISSION and EXIT MUSIC.  It is very interesting how they set up the old movies.  All the stars and the characters they played are listed at the beginning, the music, the sets, nothing like the effects of today, but still excellent acting.  So many brilliant stars giving their all. 
And of course, the famous sayings "Frankly my dear I don't give a damn" and "I'll think about that tomorrow".
