Hidden Gem in the Rain... by Rosemary Brooks

 Search on the Rain.

OK its time for me to get back in the Rain Game and do some catching up.  I have been off doing "business" and have let my blog talent go to sleep.  Its hard to wake it up if you let it go to sleep!!!

Dionne put a challenge on me that I cannot let go un-answered.  Find a gem in the rain.  Well, lucky for me this challenge is not that hard.  The hard part is just picking 2.

Here's the GEMS I pick:

My daughter, D'Adrea Davie of course is my first gem in any kind of a challenge.  Easy pick.  She is a hard worker like her mom, she does not give up like her mom, she is eager to learn like her mom and she even look a little like her mom!  So of course, she is a gem.  She is not so bad with short sales and other real estate business either.   D'Adrea has good information on short sale and buyer information that is well worth the read.  Check out D'Adrea Davie

Here's her flick ..........................and see I told you, she does favor her mom!!!! 

My next pick is someone I have never met but I sure like her style.  She seems to be a friendly and kind hearted person that can cook and bake up something good for the soul.  Her name is Linda Futral.  I am just catching up on some of Linda's blogs and found these interesting:  "Marketing yourself in a New Age" and Southern Women".  Linda may not know this but I was born in the south.  Arkansas and you don't get much more southern than that.... well you can but for the sake of my writing you can't.  And then there's the blog on how to warm your soul on a cold day with some of Linda's Chili.  Check out Linda Futral

Dionne, you're a Gem for coming up with this, for even having the time to think it up!  I like you because you have welcome me into your life and will actually pick up the phone and give me a call.  I like that.  Let's keep in touch and maybe give each other that support when needed.

OK so what do I do now.  I guess I'll go over and let D'Adrea and Linda know that I have been blogging about them and that they are the Gems that I found in the Rain. And I am challenging Earl the Pearl Sorrell
