Ask An Ambassador: You Know You're In The Right Place

By
Real Estate Agent with Transaction Alliance 513.520.5305 www.WarrenCountyOhioRealEstate.com SAL.2002007747

Yesterday I returned from a five day trip (to meet our builder at our new home, lunch with an Annapolis classmate, and then a few days with my parents).

As soon as I stepped in the door, the Chihuahuas were happy to see me, as a friend noted, a cacophony of Chihuahua barks and yips and a crowd at my feet asking to be petted.  They let me know I was in the right place!

While ActiveRain isn't populated with furry yippers, it's a place that you can leave and come back to, and be welcomed upon your return!

There are many reasons to take a sabbatical from the Rain:

1.  Blogging brought you so much business that you didn't have time for the Rain

2.  Your spouse repeatedly stating "you're on ActiveRain AGAIN??"

3.  Life demands (family changes, health, etc.)

4.  The thought that you could live without the community...and got the shakes and had to come back :)

Part of the beauty of this community is we can each pick our own path.  Sometimes that path means taking a break, sometimes short, sometimes for years, but no matter the length of the break, you know there will a "Welcome back!" ready for you.

Yippppp, yippp, yipppppp! :)

Until next Tuesday, just Ask An Ambassador if you need help,

Bill & Liz aka BLiz

 

Merry Christmas!

Good morning Bill. Once a Rainer, always a Rainer whether you are active or not. It happens to all. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hello and Merry Christmas, Bill (and Liz too) - is there a special Chihuahua Christmas chorus?   If anyone might be familiar with such tunes, it seems as if you might be in the know.  Besides, it seems to accompany the sounds of the season rather than cacophony which doggone it seems to surround felines meowing constantly.  I digress. . .  

Taking a respite from all sorts of things is an opportunity to refresh and recharge.  Did Daddy bring back lots of gifts for the furry ones?  Enjoy this special day.  I am sure the return home is music to your ears.   🐕🐾😸

We get the chorus during the day if they think we have both left the room at the same time.  El Jefe starts it, and soon almost all of the 9 are adding their own notes.
The cats meow for food, to get in and out of their cages, because they're "killed" a catnip bag and are bringing it to the others :)

We go light on the presents for Christmas, they're getting well taken care of, although Bunny wants a winning ticket to the lottery so she can move her favorite vet next to us next year for on demand chiropractic adjustments, she's almost 15 and needs it more often :)

Good morning Bill,

Merry Christmas and love the chihuahuas give you an excited reception! They definitely let you know you were in the right place. Can't wait to hear an update on the new house..it will be done before you know it!

Making good progress on the home, with framing in place for all the rooms, but still need to add stairs to the basement and loft (coming soon).  Still expecting to have completion around April.

Liz and Bill Spear  Active Rain did bring me so much business and so many friends. Many I have never met but feel like I have known them forever, and when I met them, I knew immediately. Who ever thought when joining this group, it would become a family?

Bill, I am late getting here but still wishing you the spirit of 

Christmas will bring you much joy and happiness into your future. The builder has made a lot of progress! Soon, you'll be able to wake up and say, it really happened. All your furry children with four legs will be exploring their new home and still welcoming you in your new place, just as they do now. It won't be long now before that new chapter in your lives begin. Happy and Best New Year!!!

Hi Bill & Lisa,

Yes, the Rain is a second home and very welcoming if you've been away for awhile.  It reminds me of a good friend that you haven't seen or talked to for a time, but when you do, it seems as if no time has passed.

I hadn't seen my Annapolis classmate since my wedding in 1985.  We've had Zoom calls and Whatsapp chats, but nothing in person, and it was just like we left Annapolis yesterday (well...as long as physical changes don't count!).

Hi Bill,
The "Welcome Back" has definitely been my experience.  I took a break between 2008 to 2015 and now I can't imagine life without AR.

Enjoy the rest of 2024, Bill & Liz.

I've seen it time and again, take a break, and just like old times when the member returns.

Well now I understand how Miss Carol Williams knew about your trip back east!  It all makes sense and what a great lead in to this post!  Gary picked us gals up from a spa day yesterday and brought Norman in the car to greet us. OMG he went nuts going back and forth and trying to lick us to death!  So darn cute!    Glad you're home safely and everyone is once again happy!  Happy New Year to you and Liz!

I'd have to go with #3!  But I always come back as I missed my friends in the rain and their stories, yours included!  It's always nice to be reminded how much you're missed by your puppies I bet!

Any time I get down on the floor, I probably have at least 4 or 5 of the 9 trying to climb into my lap :)

Paddy, we've got a variety pack of Chihuahuas, short hairs, long hairs, apple head, deer head, and various colors.  At least one has enough ear fringe to make a papillon jealous :)

Liz and Bill Spear we used to have a chihuahua who greeted us (and others) very loudly when we returned. He was long haired and similar colored to yours. I miss him!
