I've been Super Meme'd in Owensboro Kentucky

By
Real Estate Agent with Maverick Realty

Let me begin by saying that I have been tagged by one of my favorite bloggers in the rain that "Inspires Greatness",  can anyone guess who that is?

If you guessed Katerina from Nestor & Katerina Gasset, Realtors® Wellington Florida Luxury Homes, then you guess right! Thanks Katerina for tagging me with Super-Meme and  making me think and answer these 8 questions that follow!

1)  Who Is Your Favorite Musical Artist? The ultimate is Andrew Lloyd Weber especially with his the Phantom of Opera!  I have seen it live 3 or 4 times and would see it again and again!

But, I also LOVE: Pink Floyd : Steely Dan, The Beatles, The Moody Blues, SuperTrampJames Taylor, Patsy Cline I better stop here.... But I love the 60's and 70's music...........I graduated mid- seventies what can I say?

How could anyone ever resist The Music of the Night??  Here is a link to "All I ask of You"... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h43VhgiYQgI . NOTE:  I would have posted the actual utube video, but I couldn't figure out how to!  He even wrote Jesus Christ Superstar (which I just learned today, I love all of his music)

2)   Who Is Your Favorite Artist? I would have to say there are a few I really like.  Just off the top of my head they are: Monet, Renoir and Seurat.  Oh! I forgot to add Thomas Kincaide!

3)  Who Is Your Favorite Blogger? Well, once I get better, then "Maybe" I will be my own favorite blogger :) LOL. (just kidding- I wish I could get that good)    Actually, I have a alot of favorites and I hate these kind of questions that put you "on the spot"  but, here goes:

 1) Brad Andersohn (yes I know he works for AR now, but he was my favorite BEFORE that, and I still love his style and down to earth  personality)Picture of Real Estate - Other: Brad Andersohn ~ ActiveRain Community Builder (ActiveRain Corp)Did I mention I met him in person?  Awesome guy!

2) Celest "Sally" Chesseman. I say "Who Hoo" right back to Sally! She writes from her heart!Picture of Real Estate Agent: Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA),  Hawaii Real Estate & Hawaii Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)She is a doll!

3) Julie Neerings-talk about a sincere and genuine person, she is it!  Everyone loves Julie!Picture of Real Estate Agent: Julie Neerings~Lifting Hearts ♥ Building Dreams~Utah REALTOR®  (Keller Williams Salt Lake City)She is truly a Realtor with a heart of gold!

4) Lenn Harley- The Queen of copyright!  I love her Hard Core Real  Estate way of thinking. Real Estate Brokerage: Lenn Harley, Homefinders.com, MD & VA Real EstateTalk about really knowing your stuff!She is tough, but I like her!

Notice, I like them all for different reasons. Variety really is the spice of Life!  If we were all the same, HOW BORING would it be?

I have MANY other favorites and will find even more every week in the rain!    

4)  If You Could Meet Anyone Dead Or Alive Who Would It Be?

 I would love to Meet Jesus! But, I know I will meet him in person someday soon..... I would also love to meet my twin sister who died at birth. I never met her!  

5)  What Did You Want To Be When You Grew Up? 

* I always wanted to be a Doctor or a nurse.  Becoming the Doctor is one wish I never fulfilled, but it is ok. 

*I always wanted to be an Entrepreneur. -Which I did do.  I opened my own successful real estate company in 2000 in  Brownsville, TN called McCartney Real Estate and even received "Small Business of the year in 2002" I have had to close it because of my husbands recent promotion to a new facility in Owensboro, Kentucky.

  But guess what, he is pursuing his dream of having his own Blueberry Farm, I guess I will be picking blueberries in the next year or so and helping him with HIS business,LOL. I am a "city girl", so that will be very "interesting" for me. We will have lots of blueberries to pick on our farm in Hawesville for anyone interested in home grown blueberries? in the next year or so you need to check with me.....

 *I also wanted to get married and have children.  I did get married to my high school sweetheart more than 31 years ago.  We are still married and we had 4 children within 4 years.  I had twins  so the 4 children in 4 years wasn't so crazy.... (I never do anything the easy way....).

Then after the 4 children I went to Nursing school and became a Registered Nurse. ....) (Like I said I never do anything the easy way)

 Now I  am a "young" grandparent and loving it!

*P.S.  I have always wanted to write a book. So blogging is great practice for me!   Who know what the future holds? 

6)  What Is The Most Interesting Piece Of Trivia You Know? The elephant's gestation period is 22 months, the longest of any land animal. At birth it is common for an elephant calf to weigh  265 lbs. Could you imagine? We humans have it easy! LOL.

7)  If You Could Live In Any Point In History When Would It Be and Why? I think the present is the most exciting time.  I am living out the dreams I had for myself and my family because of the goals we have set for ourselves.

8)  What Is The Most Interesting Job You Ever Had?

The most interesting job I ever had was working at the health department and at a University  as a nurse.  It was amazing to see how uneducated our young people really are when it comes to basic health and how much education I could provide to make a difference in their lives.  I served as a change agent and increased their knowledge of their personal health.

Also, being the owner of my own successful real estate company in a small town of which I was an "outsider." Some said I would never make it because I wasn't from there, I was a female.  Well, it is very interesting that  I achieved  every thing I set out to do and more. 

Now I've got to "tag" some people: Tag-You're it!

1)  Mike Frazier- He is the reason I am here!

2)  Dana Forester

3)  Tricia Flicker -Miller

4) Larry Brewer

5)  Kelly Blake

6)  Renee Busse

7)  David Saks

8)  Julie Neerings

That's all for now, folks!

Thanks for hanging in there with me 'till the end!

(Has anyone noticed that my print keeps getting bigger and bigger?  Well, I have no idea what I've done..... )

Vickie,

Thank you for your advice.  I think this is the way I reciprocate so that you receive points.  Charleston IS wonderful.  Anytime you visit feel free to give me a call.  My in-laws used to own the Elliott House Inn on Queen Street and it was the sale of their home on the battery that got me into real estate (they are kicking themselves now for selling).  I am very familiar with all of the new and exciting places to visit in downtown Charleston and the surrounding areas.  If it has been awhile since you have been here, upper King street has changed quite a bit and has alot of new restaurants and stores.  Thank you again.

I really enjoyed your meme "Active Vickie"

Now I can imagine the curiosity and questions about your twin and...I believe!
....one day! :)

I did realize the print got progressively larger at the end of your super meme and I don't have the answer for what you did to achieve that? but it was a welcome break for these tired eyes so No Worries! It worked for me! See - Refreshed Now! :)

Thanks and for the add too! Cheers!

Vickie~This was so much fun reading all about YOU and more of what you have in your heart.  I love the music choices too.  Have you seen Beetles "LOVE" in Vegas by chance?  It is incredible and if you haven't and you make your way, you've got to see that.  Please accept my sincere thanks and my apologies for taking so long to make it over here.  To be in that line up of your favorite bloggers truly brought tears to my eyes.  I have so dearly missed all of you on AR.  Have a wonderful day!

It sounds like you have fulfilled your bucket list with doing everything you have always wanted to do, nurse, business owner, wife, parent, grand parent. I also must saying having seen 3 of those groups in your list, you have a pretty good idea of what good music is!

Hi Vickie,

Was reading through the meme's and saw your post again.  Have you had a chance to see the "Phantom of The Opera" movie yet?  Just wondering what you thought.  Fun reading your graduating letter sized meme again!
