ACTIVE RAIN MEET UP ON LONG ISLAND'S NORTH SHORE - AT LAST!

Reblogger
Real Estate Agent with Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty

To be honest, this is the first time I'm re-blogging and I don't even know if I'm doing it right. Jill says it best, "Such fun to finally meet someone you've been corresponding with for over a year." 

Active Rain friendships are the best, even my kids get jealous of how I speak about so many of you.

Now that Jill and I are connected, and we have the photos to prove it, we both can continue to believe in the powers of AR in creating lasting friendships.

Ellen CarusoAnd just to prove I do have hair, not like the shots below where I was in need of a haircut....I did cut my hair today!

Is it time to change my photo?

ACTIVE RAIN MEET UP ON LONG ISLAND'S NORTH SHORE - AT LAST!

 

Good times in Glen Head. Activerain meet up with Ellen Caruso

Ellen Caruso and I have been trying to meet up since late last year. We're really only half an hour apart but, with one thing or the other constantly coming up in our schedules, our introduction always got pushed to the side.

At last, today, I found myself in Ellen's neck of the woods and, with little advance notice, I called. As luck would have it, she was available to meet up at the local Starbucks.

Such fun to finally meet someone you've been corresponding with for over a year. She looks just like her picture with gorgeous green eyes and a big, engaging smile. We were so engrossed in conversation, we never even got around to getting a cup of coffee. I look forward to getting together again in the not-too-distant future.

Good times in Glen Head.

Look at you two lovely ladies! I wish I lived closer Ellen, I love to see you. There's a meetup in White Plains NY about 45 min. away. If it were for those 2 bridges, lol!

Kristine, didn't Mimi tell you, her daughters getting married in June and she's coming to NY. We can meet in the city for lunch, or I promissed to show her Sea Cliff, a local town with all unique Victorians.

Brian, I love Glen Head too, close to parks, beaches, golf courses, horse farms, wine and garden farms.....

Ellen, looks like you did a good job of re-blogging...no worries there.  I wish they'd bring back the RainCamps where we actually got to meet other members instead of online.

How fun that the two of you met..........I love meeting ActiveRain members, but have met very few locally.  I've met more when I've been traveling.  Looking forward to meeting you and a few others my next visit to NYC.

Ellen,

Your new hairdo looks fantastic! You are such a lovely woman. It doesn't seem to matter how you do your hair, or what type of clothes you wear, you are a spiffy Realtor and a warm and caring person. This meet-up looks like it was time worth spending. ActiveRain Friendship is the best because of you!

Ellen... I too wonder why they stopped the RainCamps..Too much to organize and travel is expensive i guess.  I am excited that we are having one  here in the Hudson Valley ..right in Newburgh NY!! my home town.. I am also planning to get down to White Plains... as long as my schedule permits of course!1 Looks like you all had fun!! Even though the meet up was small.. it definitely makes a difference!

Ginny, your not too far, maybe one day we can meet in NYC!

Deb, you too lets hook up in NYC one day.

Debb, Likewise, we would have enjoyed your company!

Nick, it was easier than I thought....and calls with you are just as good!

Roger if you do get to NYC make sure you call.

Valerie, love your comment about the dentists, glad my braces from my youth worked out.

Patricia, Thanks, I was so self conscious about not having it styled, but I am the same person regardless.

Janis, I'd love to meet up with so many more of you, wish distance wasn't a factor!

Shar, often when we talk I feel as though you are in the room, good carma!

Sharon, I needed that, my kids didn't give me the same response.... they wanted me to have longer hair, but That's too much work.

Jill, We should pick a day to meet up in NYC for lunch then see who else will come.

Laura, in fact the shorter my hair is, out come the soft and natural curls....today I'm sporting that look.

And we don't need to meet in person to have a lasting relationship...our AR friendships are forever!
