Warm Active Rain on a Chilly Day in Annapolis, Maryland

It all started when I read Jeff Belonger's post, Annapolis Maryland Gathering on 12/22/09. I'm wonderfully busy, but absolutely had to change my schedule a bit because I wanted to meet some of the wonderful Rainers who live in my computer.

Then a light bulb went off when I saw "The FHA Expert." Last Friday I had a settlement scheduled that did not close. My buyer was devastated; she wanted to be in her new condo by Christmas. So I challenged Jeff – could he make a miracle happen?

Jeff worked with me Friday, Saturday, and Sunday so that by Monday morning I had the assigned loan package ready to give to him at lunch. Jeff, I appreciate the pressure you are accepting, and in this busy Christmas week to boot.

Yesterday was a crisp winter day. Ha! I like it cold, but at a "crisp" 20 degrees this morning, even I put on a coat. A dozen Active Rainers showed up at Famous Dave's and spent a couple of hours in the middle of holiday rushing to eat, talk, and make connections. Amanda, our server, took very good card of this talkative group. Jeff Belonger was there of course, along with a friend, John. Audrey June-Forshey was first to get her blog about the gathering up and it's featured! Active Rain Gathering Annapolis Maryland.

Lewis Poretz was there, along with John MacArthur, Rich Iarossi, Pat Kennedy whose blog is here: Thank You Jeff Belonger, and Martha Brown who also wrote about it here: An Impromtu AR Gathering in Annapolis. Pat Hommel joined us as did Camille O'Donnell, and my publisher, Peg Silloway.

While the rest of the world (and certainly Annapolis-area traffic!) was going crazy, we carved out a couple of hours of warmth and communication with area Rainers. It was great, and we'll definitely do it again.

And here are a few more posts about our day in Annapolis:
