Are You Ready to Mooooove To the Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex Area?

Today, my friend Andrea Swiedler, Realtor extraordinaire from the New Milford, CT area, and "out of the closet lover of cows" (her words, not mine!), mentioned me in her post.

I had sent her an email with a link to a video that's cow-centric, and she was apparently moooved enough by it to use it in her blog today.

Anyway, after reading Andrea's post, I was inspired to hack away in Photoshop and come up with something that I knew she'd appreciate. You can see Andrea's version of my "creation" in the comments section of her post.

But here's my version.....

I half-expected to see your face on the cow. I guess I'm just conditioned to look for it. I wouldn't call anyone else for a move to your area.

Craig, milking a cow was going to be Andrea's talent for the AR Talent Contest, but she couldn't find a cooperative cow. Must be her cold hands. BTW 2 days and counting

Anita - I would not be amooosed if they called someone else!!!

Frank & Karen - I never sleep! Well, I do, but not much. Life's too short to sleep it away!

Doug - You know I'd debate you if I felt you were wrong here Doug!

Jill - Thank you Jill! And as a former Long Islander myself, I'm pretty certain I can help your folks make a smooth transition to the Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex area

Ed - Does Andrea have cold hands?!!! 2 days and counting... Whatever could you be referring to?!!!

Craig, okay, I'm on my way over to check out Andrea's post...I'm sure it's just as mooooooving of an experience as yours.

Craig, first, Ed is wrong, I don't have cold hands... I just don't have any more local opportunity to milk cows. I could have driven across the other side of the state, and it crossed my mind... but I was too busy moooooving real estate to do that. And after seeing Ed get that hole in one... (I wonder about that though... ) how could I beat that? But believe me, I am going to get that video one of these days!

And if I were moooooving to the Raleigh Apex area, you would be the one to call.

And by the way, that was the best video I have ever seen, LOL. And for the record, Pat Kennedy is going on a field trip to Kansas and taking her flute, in case she runs into any cows. I hope she gets it on video for us all to see.

Nick - If not better!

Andrea - How cool would that be if Pat gets a video of her serenading cows in Kansas? I knew Ed was a superstar Realtor. But a hole in one in golf? Have you seen his slice?!!! I want video of that before I believe it too! Oh, and I knew he was wrong about your hands too, especially when I saw this sign on my way through Litchfield County...

Welcome to Litchfield County!
