Putting the "Social" in Social Networking

I love any excuse to get together with bloggers, and today Chris Ann Cleland, Cindy Jones and I met at Springfield, Virginia's Mike's American Grill. We talked about our adventures in real estate, blogging and our lives.

We both owed Cindy lunch. She blogged about a great Falls Church neighborhood where, after reading her post, I sold a house. And she sent Chris Ann a referral.

Based on what I've read in Chris Ann and Cindy's blogs, I know I can refer my favorite people to them. These ladies are terrific agents who work hard for their clients.

And I can't believe how many fries I ate! This is a day off from the boring old diet!

What a great way to spend an afternoon. I enjoy meeting with other Rainers and learn more about them.

Pat - yes, that is what puts the icing on the cake - meeting up in person! I wish that I coudl meet every AR'r in person, have a cup of coffee and talk, talk talk! It is wonderful that you three could meet up and the instances where you have all "worked" together is a perfect example of social networking and the benefits!

So did Cindy bring me a piece of pie. No she just left me with a pile of paperwork to shuffle. I get no respect!

Patricia: What a great get-together you and Cindy and Chris Ann must have had. There you were... three of the absolute-best Realtors in the entire VA/MD/DC area. I'm so glad you were able to get together. You prolly need to do it on a regular basis. Sounds like fun to me !
