I Didn't See You, but I Saw Your Sign...An Active Rain Meet Up of Sorts

I Didn't See You, but I Saw Your Sign...An Active Rain Meet Up of Sorts. I'm doing some traveling this week, and I thought this might be a great chance to get to meet other Active Rain Members in my state. Joan Cox and I will be meeting for lunch in Colorado Springs on Friday. While in Salida, I tried to hook up with another member, but our schedules didn't work out so we could get together.

An Active Rain Meet Up of Sorts

Paula Bradfield is a member from Salida, CO. She was out of town, while I was visiting her town, so we weren't able to meet up. But I feel like I got to know her a little bit on a personal level. This picture was taken from one of Paula's listings. This one is on the highway in Howard, Colorado. I'm glad you use name riders, Paula. I can't believe I found your sign with your name. LOL.

 

We really enjoyed our one night stay in your beautiful town, Paula. Salida is a town of about 5500 people. It's almost a big city compared to my town of Cedaredge. We had dinner and ginger soda at Moonlight Pizza and we really enjoyed it. That ginger soda ROCKS. You can tell this pizza place is a real local hangout, and that's the kind of place we love.

 

If any AR members ever get to the Western Slope of Colorado, please look me up. I love to play tour guide.

Happy Thanksgiving to Paula Bradfield and everyone else on Active Rain.

 

I've lived on Colorado's Western Slope for over 22 years. I love this area and all it has to offer, and I enjoy sharing what I know about my home. I'm a real estate broker, and I also love to share my expertise in this area as well. If you need any real estate information for Montrose County, or Delta County, Colorado...please give me a call.

How fun to try to hook up with ActiveRain buddies. There are people who just have to be interesting due to their fabulous blogs.

Paula, how wonderful you are.  I love your hospitality idea.  Wish I was heading your way sometime soon.  None the less, if you are ever near the Inland Empire, let me know, I would happily show you the sights.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'd say happening upon one of her signs is almost as exciting as meeting in person.

Debbie:

Good for you for acknowledging Paula Bradfield and her sign.  Sounds like you will be having a nice time with Joan Cox.  She seems to be a very good example of a great Rainer.  Enjoy you meet up.  Maybe Kerrie will give you points for meeting.

Hi, Paula...we went to Moonlight Pizza. Loved the ginger soda. I'm going to stop there on the way home and buy a growler of the stuff. It was more like ginger juice and I love ginger. Sorry we couldn't hook up. Dan and I like that listing on the river. Nice listing you have.

Hi, Everyone. Thanks for the feature, and thanks for all your wonderful comments. Normally I would respond to them on this page with a personal comment. But I'm traveling and have met up with some family for the week. We've been on the road since Sunday. Today we had an action packed day. We checked out of one hotel, went to Cave of the Winds, the Cliff Dwellings and then took the Cog Rail Train to the top of Pike's Peak. All of this in the Colorado Springs area. And that was just today. Remember I'm with my mother in law. I don't know her age, and no one in the family seems to know. She is like 80 years old. She has some swelling in her lower legs that makes it difficult to get around. She just walks really slowly and she's from Washington, DC, so the altitude gets her, too. It just takes us three times as long to do things as it normally would. I will respond to each of you on your personal blog in the next day or so. Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoying my blog. We are having a great time.

The barbed wire in the sign is a testament to the rural nature of Paula's area. My area if the same way.

Even if we are only passing through somewhere, it would be great to take a photo, like you did, of an AR member's sign and post it here.

Cool. I don't travel much, but I guess I need to start paying more attention to riders for familiar names!

Thanks everyone for your nice comments. I'm behind on commenting back because of the holiday weekend and I was on vacation. That's why I saw Paula's sign. I hope to someday get to meet Paula in person.
