I have been trying to work on some fliers to get out to my farm area. It seems the hardest thing is coming up with the right content. I am so overwhelmed by it. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear from you. My goal is to get fliers out once a month. I have ideas in my head it is hard to get them onto paper. Then the whole designing them to look good is another story. Thanks for your input it is very valued.  Smiles everyone   Norma Jo :) 09/15/2009

Being on active rain is way cool. It will take me a while to learn it all. There are so many options. 09/13/2009

Wow what a great day.  Even with the rain we had a great turn out at our Grand Opening. I feel like we are official now. Thanks to everyone who came out in support of us. I got the chance to meet some great agents from other companies as well as some from other Keller offices. There were lots of people from the community, home builders and more. I am grateful for everyones support.  Hope everyone has a great day. Smiles :) Norma Jo 09/12/2009

This morning I taught a class on social networking, something now high on my list.   I start with Active Rain and explain about Google Juice.  I have 8 agents in the work room on computers and all of them are signing up for Active Rain per my instructions.  A cell phone rings as we are doing this and it is Kerrie from Active Rain talking to one of my students.  He hands his cell phone to me and I am now talking to Kerrie.  She is  thanking me for teaching a class!    The folks at Active Rain are doing some kind of voodoo mind control and are  probably planning  to take over the world.   They have figured out how to bug our computers.   Big Brother is ACTIVE RAIN!   Kerrie was nice enough to give my students a code to give them Rainmaker status for a month so they could test the benefit... 09/10/2009

I have lived in Anderson Mill West and loved it!!  Located at RR 620 and El Salido Parkway, this neighborhood is right on the edge of northwest Austin and Travis County but actually in Cedar Park and Williamson County.  Anderson Mill West is so close to MoPac (Loop 1) as well as Research Blvd. or 183.  Shopping, services and restaurants are all nearby.  Taqueria Guadalajara is located at 12226 N. RR 620 (512) 219-9222.  I love their gorditas and chile rellenos, Mexican sodas & desserts.  Luby's is another favorite of mine because of their wonderful vegetables and salads.  Luby's is located at Pecan Park and Research just south of RR620.  For dessert try Shake's on Cypress Creek & El Salido or Yaghi's New York Pizzeria on El Salido right before Cypress Creek (2100 Cypress Creek Rd).  The... 08/14/2009

I previously wrote a post on the Blackberry 8350i  and the problems I was having. http://activerain.com/blogsview/1186862/nextel-rim-blackberry-8350i-not-the-phone-for-me-  I politely complained and complained to Sprint / Nextel about my problems with the phone.  A realtor cannot live with continual dropped calls.  Just as I was about to switch to a NEW carrier,  some dear person at Sprint /Nextel connected me with the "retention" department.   So earlier this they agreed for a "price" to send me two new phones on the Sprint Network.  I got a red Blackberry 8330, of course in KW colors, and my husband took the titanium 8330.   It has taken 2 days to move everything over to the Sprint side such as email addresses and the MMS icon.  I never thought I could live without Push-to-talk, but I... 08/14/2009

Taco Real  in Cedar Park, Texas opened a few months ago in the old Willie-O's Hamburger place in 1890 Ranch along Rt. 1431.  It is close to the Cinemark Theatre if you want to grab something before catching a flick.  They post their menu in the front window so you can get a feel for what you will pay inside. The menu is appealing and they carry a full menu including breakfast in the morning.  Taco Real opens at 7:00 AM.  Inside the menu is above where you place your order which is what you seek here.  What did we think of this restaurant?  Well, we were told that this was a family owned business.  The appeal is the location close to the theater.  The food was excelllent.  We each had a wrap.  I had pork and he had beef.  It was fresh and just a little spicy for me.  My husband thought i... 08/10/2009
