Lunch With a Fellow Active Rainer

Arportrait The past few months have been incredibly busy so I have missed the past few Active Rain get togethers and have not really had time to meet up with any of my local friends either. This week I was lucky enough to connect with someone I haven't had a face to face meeting with yet. We had been going back and forth by email and due to schedules and the weather had not been able to connect until this week.

Kate Case and I had a wonderful lunch and as usual (for me anyway) because we sort of knew each other there was no nervousness or difficulty finding things to talk about. She is very passionate about her business and does such beautiful work. Anyone hiring Kate for her expertise in staging, interior design or color consultations will be extremely pleased with her work. Please visit her blog and subscribe to her posts. If you are from AR then stop in and say hello!

Thanks Kate for a very enjoyable lunch!

Debra. I know exactly how you felt to finally meet another AR member face to face. That's why our meetups are so great, and I was blessed to have meet a couple of AR members at recent conventions too. I have read some of Kate's posts too.

Debra, you are such a great person! There are so few people in AR who are active in our state; how great is this to meet a fellow colleague in The Rain!
