Help Me Caption the Cozy Kitties Photo

 

When I put up a photo of my two cats under the blanket on Facebook, a fellow REALTOR suggested I use it for a promotion. I did like the idea of using the Cozy Kitties photo for a real estate promotion and decided I could use a little help to come up with a caption. The cats were sleeping soundly in that photo that she saw but I knew the faces of the cats in this photo was much more interesting for a promotion. I also could use a few more Facebook followers on my business page so I decide to run a contest. The best caption  or  ideas for their thought bubbles will win a special gift from Minnesota.

To give you some idea of the events leading up to when the photo was taken, the cat on the left, Cinnamon, was under the blanket first and became obviously annoyed when her twin sister, Ginger arrived.   

Here are the contest rules:

1. Contest will run until February 28th, 2013.

2. Only Entrants that LIKE my Facebook Business page  Teri Eckholm REALTOR will be considered for the prize. Entrant must still be listed as a someone who "LIKED" my page at the end of the contest.

3. Leave captions on my FB page, email or in the comments of my blog . In the event of similar captions being entered, the one that was posted first will win

4. Keep it clean. This is for a Any off color, derogatory comments will be deleted.

5. When entering the contest, entrant gives me the right to use the caption in my advertising whether or not it is the winning entry.

*Also note that neither Activerain, Blogger or Facebook are associated with this contest.

Ideally the caption would be related to real estate in someway but that is not essential. It is more important that the caption is funny and memorable.

So put on your thinking caps and come up with a good one...

And in the meantime, if you are looking to buy or sell a home in the north east Minneapolis/St Paul area, give me a call.

Wordless Wednesday (Almost)--This Job is NOT for the Faint at Heart!

Throughout the warmer months this past year when we traveled along 94 northeast of St. Cloud, Minnesota we had an opportunity to see power line construction and the lines being strung via helicopter. I was the passenger and shot the photos as my husband drove...Absolutely no stopping to sightsee! The MN highway Patrol watches diligently for those who are paying more attention to the helicopters than the road. These lines are being strung along the busy interstate while cars and trucks travel at 70 mph. 

One day while I was driving...not photographing...there were 3 people sitting at the tops of three consecutive poles, patiently waiting their turn to connect the lines. What a crazy job! Another day they were using blasting caps and there were explosions that fused the lines together. 

The process is amazing. The idea that someone could sit on top of a pole for hours is unbelievable. The powerline construction is halted for the winter months...but I will try to capture a polesitter in the spring!

Almost Speechless Sunday--Going Above the Crowd at the Minnesota State Fair!

RE/MAX real estate professionals are known to go above the crowd...usually in the famous red and white balloon. (Okay, if you want to see the balloon pictures I took in White Bear Lake last year, click here.) But I took the opportunity to take a quick trip above the crowd on the Skyride, one of the permanent fixtures at the Minnesota State Fair, last summer. Quite a view that shouldn't be missed if you are going to the fair this summer!
