ACTIVE RAIN FRIENDSHIPS ARE BLOOMING LIKE WILDFLOWERS!

The Texas Real Estate Group was recently adopted by Marchel Peterson of Spring, Texas and Liz Carter of Katy/Houston. The group is now blooming like Texas Wildflowers! We are turning into a "Community" in the true sense of the word. Our first meeting in Bandera, Texas was recent and we had a wonderful time. We met, talked AR, ate, ate, and ate.

My husband, Scott Brooks and I turned a 5 1/2 hour drive into an 8 hour drive home because of all the gorgeous wildflowers! I would point, say ooh, awe, and off the road he would go! I am pleased to share these pictures of our trip home. I also want to say...

Thank You to The Texas Real Estate Groupfor challenging us in the quest for quality local information. Localism and our readers will benefit! Please enjoy the show!

This was taken in good old Huntsville, Texas. The Hot Spot in Texas to view wildflowers. Our interstates are blanketed with color. When April rolls around, don't miss the exciting colors and natures ability to paint our world! No one needs to wear rose colored glasses. This is just the most beautiful sight your naked eyes can enjoy!

<------------------------------------------------->

The Yucca is one of the most beautiful presentations

mother nature provides!

And, about as wild as it gets!

This is our world from a wildflowers' perspective. Yea for sunshine and Active Rain!

Liz, thank you dear.

Kathy, beautiful roses!

Sondra, I think they are bubbles. Suitable for an air head that sells by the water.

Loreena, Were you just too dry to have many flowers?

Judi Ju, I like it. The name that is. What do they call you..Ju Ju?

Tom Tom, that is very high praise from a photographer like yourself.

Thanks all for the kind compliments. Later in the rain~Deb

Hey JuJu! I did read Sally's post but I didn't learn it there. I just guessed girl! You're sweet enough to be a JuJu. If felt natural. Have a wonderful Mother's Day! Later in the rain~Deb

BWP, how are you? Is everything going well for you and Carl? It's getting plain old hot here. All our flowers are burned up and they are getting ready to mow. Lord willing we will see many more springs. You take care and I'll see you Later in the rain~Deb

Debs, good guess -- I guess it does feel natural, doesn't it. Debs, have a great Mother's Day!!! I'm being taken out for a Mother's Day Brunch, then, my Son & his girlfriend are coming over to make "gourmet pizza" for us. Sounds like fun. . . although, I bet I'll have to clean the kitchen after he's finished cooking. :( Oh well, it's worth it!!! One daughter is in New Jersey, the other will be out of town visiting her Mother-in-Law.

Ju Ju, I hope you had a great Mother's Day weekend. I didn't do much on Sunday and I enjoyed it. gourmet pizza sounds wonderful especially followed up by your bread pudding! I hope you had fun. My daughter gave me a certificate for a one hour massage! Wow. I won't be able to walk after that! It's going to spoil me. You take care and stay in touch! Later in the rain~Deb

Deb, glad you had a good Mother's Day -- I didn't do much either. Got dressed up and went to the Petroleum Club for their fabulous Mother's Day Brunch. Then came home and straightened and cleaned a little. Ohhhh, that massage will certainly spoil you -- you might not be able to walk after you get it -- you'll be soooo relaxed. My B'day's coming up -- I'm hoping for a nice massage and facial gift certificate. I have a small referral commission coming in -- I might treat myself to a facial and massage. :) Dancing in the Rain . . .

Hey Kathy, LOL -- you got my nickname!!! LOL -- oh boy, the cat is out of the bag now. Hope your Dad is doing well. Kathy my bread pudding recipe is posted here on my blog -- haven't you already been there. So go ahead and make it for a special treat to yourself, then take that drive up to Hot Springs for that weekend off. You know, that sounds like fun -- hey Debs, we should plan a "girls only weekend away for all of us AR ladies"! Hot Springs sounds good, or we could go to Lake Charles and meet up with Derenda & Mary Kay (Lake Charles bloggers) -- they'll show us a good time in beautiful Lake Charles. Kathy, can we count you in??? I know Ceil will definitely go to Lake Charles with us! I bet Liz & Marchel & Ricki will too!!!

Deb, those were fabulous photos. I had no idea there were so many wildflowers in Texas. I especially loved the one with your crox in the photo. Thanks for sharing your ride home.

Congrats on winning the contest.

Nancy,

You're welcome Nancy and thank you for coming by! We all had fun entering.

Ronda, Thank you for the compliment! I am using a very affordable Fuji FinePix S5200 that I acquired from eBay! I got a great deal on it and I like it because the Auto button is about the only one I have to hit!!! It takes really nice close ups and so far we have been able to put together a seamless virtual tour from it.

Gena, there is about everything you could want to find in Texas!! You're welcome and I'm glad you appreciated the crox. I try to get a shot of my feet wherever I go so I remember and prove I was there! No matter what outing we go on you will see a shot of my feet! I know I'm wierd. I know.

Deb, Congratulations on First Place!!! This is absolutely beautiful and so well done. There are a few things on here that I need for you to teach me. We'll have to get on the phone and the computers one day/evening and you can talk me thru them. Dancing in the rain--JuJu

Hey JuJu, I can teach you about the floating logo but don't ask about the slide show at this point. I felt my way through it. Once I hit that button I have not gone back! Anyhow, thank you for the kudos. There were many, including yours that were worthy of recognition! We'll talk. You take care and I'll see you Later in the rain~Deb PS. my little password is yucca...how funny

I think I can do the slide show -- I did the one on my post on RES. I love RES! But I do want to know how to do the floating logo.

Deb Brooks

Brooks Prime Properties Wichita Falls Texas - Wichita Falls, TX

Not a problem dear...soon we will all be using them! You can design 100.s of different ones so we will never duplicate a thing! If you can do the slide show you're doing better than me. I could figure it out again with enough hours and the desire but...

Later babe~in the rain~Deb
