Another great afternoon, another great AR gathering

Another great afternoon, another great AR gathering!   Only 3 of us but, oh well!  It could not have been any nicer.  We had a blast!  I will save some of it for Judi to write about.  Hopefully, she won't tell everything we did!!:)

                            My good friend and real estate partner Cheri Lynn Venditti joined us and we had some wonderful discussions about real estate and Active Rain.  After lunch, we had a photo shoot in the restaurant.  Everyone watching but not minding.  We did not notice, we were having too much fun.                   Cheri, Ricki & Judi

Next we took Judi to the Pomarosa RV Park.  That is mine and Cheri Lynn's listing on Hwy 16.  We finally got our big sign to go there and we needed to put it up.  There is a cedar post fence along the front and we wanted to attach it with screws.  You can imagine three ladies out on Hwy 16 attaching a 4 by 4 foot sign to a cedar post fence.  Wouldn't you know it!  The screw gun ran down and the job was only half done.      

Little did Judi know what she was getting herself in for.  Flagging down passing pickups with contractor looking guys in them that might have a working screw gun was not the answer.   Driving back to Kerrville to get another one from home was not either.  So what's a savvy Realtor to do?  Go to the nearest listing and borrow one.  That's as far as I'm going with this story.  The job got done!

It was a wonderful lunch from 1:00pm until 6:00pm.  We enjoyed the day for sure, and many more are planned.  We hope to meet lots of you iBlack Buck Antelopen the near future.

                    

                    

See the Black buck antelope under the tree?  There are literally hundreds here in this area of the Flying L.  This one let us get a good shot without getting up and running.  We saw lots of babies today and we love they way they hop away.

Ricki - Sound like it was a great fun day; sorry I missed out or I would have been there with my screw gun . But as a hard working inspector I had two inspections on Friday. Maybe next time. I may even bring some Texas Pecan Pie & Texas Blue Bell Ice Cream or dessert.

Excellent Pictures - Now it is time to check out Judi's blog and see what she has to say about your Friday AR gathering.

Hi Rickie,I will help you, just ask away...I stated a team long before it was vogue...16-17 years ago.  Plus I've had 16+ years of Mike Ferry training.  I made a lot of mistakes when I first started so will be happy to help you hopefully not have to learn the hard way.  Chow Liz

Hi Carl,    I am so looking forward to the Pecan pie and ice cream.  We'll share recipes.  Be sure to bring a screw gun when you come.  You never know what we will be doing! :)

Thank you Liz,     I have lots of questions.  I'll be calling you.  I make enough mistakes on my own, if I can avoid making a few that would help so much!  Your team looks great.  The pics are excellent.  Thanks so much,  Ricki :)

Wendy, we had so much fun!!  We talked and laughed all afternoon.  The time flew by and I stayed about 2 hrs. longer than I had planned to.  I wouldn't have missed it for anything!  I'm still laughing when I remember us putting up the sign -- it took all 3 of us!  :)

It almost makes me want to go into real estate so I can be part of the team. Maybe in my second life when I'm not inspecting the homes you sell. Sounds like you have allot of enthusiasm and that is what builds a good team.

Ricki - Sounds like you had a wonderful time!  I own a couple of screw guns, so if you ever want to borrow one just let me know.  I'm still waiting to hear about what you have planned!  Hope you're having a wonderful day, it's going to be hot.
