Tom Braatz, and the Hansons belong to a mutual admiration society....we "met" on Active Rain...initially Tom's former office was a stone's throw from our house. Now....he offices with another broker in Oconomowoc (for those of you non- local folks...that is Oh Con Oh Mow Walk). We talk from time to time...we e-mail...we complain about aches and pains and our mutual diabetic disease ....but most of all, we respect each other. The irony of all this is that we have never met live and in person....But WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8th at 6 p.m. will be THE BIG REVEAL.....we are meeting at one of my favorite restaurants...The Venice Club. Oh their (lo-cal...oh yeah) deep fried eggplant is just the best ! I prefer it was lemon and parmesan while husband David dips his strips in their marvelous marinara sauce.
Ok Tom...here's the menu
I know it won't be a romantic evening...husband David will be in tow andTom's California gal pal will be there in spirit....there aren't any REAL gondolas at the Venice Club.
What I do know is that the conversation will be stimulating...there won't be any lulls....we never have trouble filling spaces....Will he know me from my "high school grad" real estate picture ?
Hmmm...well I'm still a few pounds away from having a new one taken.
I just got rid of my prom dresses when we built our house....hmmm..what to wear...maybe a rose tucked behind one ear would help....or maybe we will just know, just know that it we will enjoy a wonderful meal and outstanding rapport that we found right here in the Rain !

I am looking forward to meeting you, and letting you see that I am not just a figment of everyones imagination. I do exist.
Sincerely
Tom Braatz
Tom thinks that you are wonderful ;) and, yes, he really does exist. You will have a fabulous evening together. Now just don't have too much fun without me....
Sally,
