Friday's Fotos-Cruisin' in Camas!

By
Real Estate Agent with John L Scott Market Center 700512026

Wednesday my husband, Larry and I headed for Camas WA to pick up a Jeep Rubicon (he actually bought on e-bay).

Jeep Rubicon

Knowing that my dear ActiveRain friend, Debb Janes lives there, I called her the day before to see about an impromptu "Meet Up".  These are always so special to share on ActiveRain because of the scads of relationships that have developed across the country (and maybe the world) thanks to this platform.

 

It proved to be successful and we had a grand evening finally introducing our powerful spouses to each other over dinner at Roots, a terrific restaurant that I would highly recommend (thanks to Debb and Bernie for picking this out).  Bernie, Debb's husband and partner in real estate and Larry found some instant commanalities in the food industry in their pasts. Since Debb and I feel like sisters, leading parallel lives, it was so natural to have our spouses get along in an easy manner. 

A leisurely dinner with delectable food and comfortable conversation, it proved to be yet another perfect ActiveRain "MeetUp". We have others whom we want to include for our next one, but we'll keep that under wraps until it comes to fruition.

Say,  Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD  I noticed that Gayle and your wine glasses are empty compared to your husbands' glasses.  Tough day in real estate???

Good morning Gayle Rich-Boxman Fishhawk Lake Realtor (503)755-2905  This reminds me of the wonderful time we enjoyed together. You'll have to plan a trip soon, during daylight hours, to come visit the Farmstead and meet the rest of the commue.

Lol, Bruce Walter , I'm thinking that they hadn't brought us our big glasses of wine yet. Or, maybe we were waiting for the refills. :) I'll let you decide.

Georgie Hunter R(S) the seller of the Jeep came out a winner, too--he'd just sold his house the day before! It was great fun, not long enough, though.

Bruce Walter I was WONDERING if anyone would be taking note of the difference in glasses. These guys had already had theirs and were down to water and iced tea. BORING. Your two favorite bloggers? Well, I'm in good company!

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD it went SO fast! Larry said how compatible we all were...YUP and throw Ron and Alexandra Seigel into the mix and it would be perfection. Thank you again for dinner, that was certainly not my plan.You guys were too quick. Treacherous drive home....the downpours were constant. But, it gave me a chance to listen to most of the debate on NPR!

Kristin Johnston, Waukesha County Realtor 414-254-6647 it couldn't have been better. This is a new color for us--we're normally red vehicle people! He's taking this to Moab in Utah, an annual Jeep Jamboree thing. 

Beth Atalay Bernie looked at this photo (after the server took our pic) and said that we looked like we were on a cruise ship! Hah. It was non-stop conversation, flowed so easily. Of course, Debb and I've been getting together for years. This was the best shot, even tho my hubby's eyes are partially closed. (Oh well, he never looks at my blog anyway, so he won't know...).

Santa Barbara, Ron and Alexandra Seigel sounds DIVINE. Maybe Debb and I will have all of our inventory sold by then and have some free time...!!

What glasses? Since I'm reading on the iPad I guess I'm missing the first picture. I have let AR know about this glitch .

Me again. Now that I know the primary featured pic doesn't always show up, I throw an extra picture or two into the post. Kind of annoying and I hope they get it ironed out soon.
