Let me just say I am saddened to see that Betty Paige, a woman I have always admired for her tenacity & wild streak passed on last Thursday from a heart attack!... and more than that I can't believe I didn't hear about it until today!
Have I had my head in the sand? Or maybe in the snow:)?
For heavens sake she was 85 so I guess I shouldn't be too terribly shocked but geez...I just added her to my friends list on Myspace two weeks ago!(Who new she had a Myspace page...Huh!)
Well needless to say, her story is a great one...you can purchase the DVD The Notorius Betty Paige at http://www.thenotoriousbettiepage.com/. It's a great film!
And for those of you who may not be familiar with her work, she put pin ups & centerfolds on the map in the 50's! She took a lot of heat for being so scandalous at the time but was so comfortable with her body and nudity that the moralist really didn't have a chance! She went on to have a lot of hard times but she will have a peice of my heart FOREVER!!
REST IN PEACE MISS BETTY PAIGE!! MUAH!
THE FRIENDS OF TENINO have created a great website (click here) with TONS of great information!
And so much more! Thank you Friends of Tenino for all of your hard work!
Adam Craig is one of our own hometown boys, born & raised in Tenino, Wa and graduating from Tenino High School in 2001. Adam aspired to pave his own way in the Country Music arena, so shortly after graduation he set off for Nashville to realize his dreams as a Lead Vocalist & Lead Guitarist...
In 2006, Adam along with four other aspiring musicians came together to form Telluride...opening for some big names in Country Music including LeAnn Rimes, Big & Rich, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Lonestar. They also got to share the stage with Kid Rock as he jumped up to jam with them during a show...AND I MISSED IT!! Ugh!! The band has also opened for such classics from my generation as Foreigner and REO Speedwagon.
Even as Adam gets to rub elbows with the Big Boys he never forgets where he came from. In 2007 Adam returned home with Telluride to perform a benefit concert for the victims of the Thurston/Lewis County Flood and will also be returning to Tenino in July of 2009 to perform at the Tenino Food & Wine Festival.
Check out their CMT video "The Phone Song" below and let us know what you think!
You can also order the Telluride debut Album "Four Square Miles" or add it to your playlist. Become a fan!
Thank you for taking the time to listen to our boys! Enjoy!!
Being an Active Rain Rookie, I don't have a lot of great tips on the ins & outs of AR...however, I can provide one great tip that has taken me a week to figure out!
BOOKMARK YOUR FAVORITE POSTS!! As you get going in AR everyone refers you to excellent posts to help refine your skills, this is a great way to save them to refer to when you have more time! You will find at the bottom of each post a "Bookmark" tab that you can click. When you return to you're homepage you will find in the bottom left column a tab marked "Bog Bookmarks" When you click on that tab it will show you all the posts you have saved to refer to at a later date!
BOOKMARKING SAVES SO MUCH TIME AND KEEPS VALUABLE INFO JUST A CLICK AWAY!
Hope this little tip helps! Have a great day and go play in the RAIN!
Hi All,
Just wanted to give my pal...
Mark Ainsworth a warm welcome to Active Rain, he is a fellow agent at Van Dorm Realty, Olympia Wa!
We both have spouses that went back to 9-5's so we now have extra time on our hands and are looking for new and effective ways to continue to build our businesses and networks! So here we are!
I thought we could break Mark in gently...(although I am ready for his first blog, he's one of the funniest people I know!)! So keep your eye out for it and send him oodles of comments!
Yay! Let's play in the Rain together!!
As a Full Service Realtor® and Accredited Buyer Representative Specializing in the Tenino and South Thurston County Area my focus is on Residential Properties for 1st time Sellers and Buyers.
Many people ask where I came up with the name Team 242 for my business...the number 242 is my late son Malachi's motocross racing number. It was the perfect way for me to honor his memory and give me the incentive I need each and every day to remain focused on working diligently to provide each and every client with the best possible Real Estate service so they will in turn refer their friends, family & coworkers. I like to think we are still together working as a great team!
In my off time I enjoy camping, dirt bikes, anything outdoors, and spending time with my family, friends and pets! I am always up for trying anything new and exciting! For more information about me checkout my website at www.Team242Realtors.com
My business is primarily based on referrals so I am very focused on my clients satisfaction from the moment I first meet them. I pride myself in quick responses to inquiries, great communication skills and a natural instinct for hearing my clients needs. Early on I solely worked with Buyers, however, when my husband joined me in Real Estate it offered me an oppurtunity to spread my wings. I found that assisting clients in Selling their homes suited my personality to the T! Who knew I had a special knack for being able to understand what was selling in the surrounding area, how to price and prepare the home and the hard part... how to translate this information to my clients without stepping on toes! One thing I am sure to tell prospective clients is that I am not in the business of Listing homes I am in the business of Selling them!
I specialize in assisting clients in Selling/Buying homes in the Tenino and South Thurston County area although I have business in all of Thurston County and North Lewis County. I am an active member of REALTORS®and have earned my Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR) desigation. I also earned recognition as a Top Producer in 2006!
I am a firm believer in continuing education as I believe the Real Estate market is extremely competitive and always changing. I find it very important to stay abreast of the constant changes and crucial to to keep my skills at their peak.
Most importantly though I think that when all is said and done the expierence of Buying or Selling your home should be pleasant and positve overall. It is so important to find a Real Estate Agent that you can relate to, trust, easily communicate with, that you feel confident is truly representing you!
Trish is the BEST Realtor I have EVER dealt with and I have & will highly recommend her to ALL of my friends & family!What stand out in my mind is how knowledgable Trish is even though she hasn't been in the field for a ZILLION years & how well she listened to us & knew what we wanted, she is freindly and fun! Up until meeting Trish my experience with Real Estate agents was not very positive...our experience with Trish was WONDERFUL & far exceeded all our expectations!

"I am very grateful for the quality of service I was provided by Trisha. She listened carefully to my description of my dream house and utilized her extensive knowledge of the Thurston County real estate market to assist me in finding the home that best fit my budget and personal needs. I am extremely satisfied. Trisha identified a number of homes for me to view and paid careful attention to my reactions and comments as we walked through them. She used this experience to fine tune the search and then located additional homes for me to examine. She was diligent in looking out for my welfare; identifying several potentially costly problems with certain homes I expressed interest in pursuing. I owe her debt of gratitude for that. An agent with less integrity might have let me purchase those homes and collected their commission. I have no hesitation in recommending Trisha to anyone I care about. "
<<Mike McCanna>>
" She has an excellent grasp of the real Estate Process & explains it very well in terms even we could understand. She really cares about people & making sure everyone gets a fair and equitable deal. What stands out in our mind is her dedication , work ethic and positive attitude. She went beyond the call of duty, Trish is a hardworking, down-to-earth, freindly, out going professional. She completely changed our opinion of Realtors as the ones we had used in the past had given us a BAD impression! She has a determination to sell your house that really pays off! She is a fair & honest person & never gives you the impression that she is in it for the money, she genuinely cares about people & goes the extra mile to meet peoples needs!
<<Mike M>>
"Very friendly, helpful and personable. I enjoyed the experience. She shared the excitement with us."
