Rick

I was not going to post anything today, but I was on an assignment and ran into Rick, a friend of mine. Click on photo to see the beautiful painting.



Rick Cauble, a Realtor for Prudential, was sitting in the lobby of Captain's Galley, a waterfront condominium where Prudential has several listings. We chatted for a few minutes, my eyes going back and forth from Rick to the work boat; my mind setting up the shot one moment, then reminding itself there would be no Tuesday posts.

Then Rick said something, "Crisfield is the last gem on the Chesapeake."

That sealed the deal. I went back to my car and got my camera.

If you are thinking about life on the water, give Rick a call. Or any of our other fine Realtors in Crisfield. This is indeed the last gem on the Chesapeake. Grab a piece of it before it is too late.

Since I have Rick in my scopes, here is a photo of him I took last summer. He managed Captain Bud's Tiki Bar. Rick is in the white t-shirt in the rear behind the bar.

Last but not least, here is Rick showing his love for his country at a fireworks display.

And while we were chatting, I found out a little more about Rick:

"What couldn't you live without?"

"Love and friendship."

"What is your most cherished possession?"

"My great grandfather's foot locker from the Spanish American War."

"What is your favorite attire?"

"Shorts and a t-shirt."

"What is your nickname?"

"Bud."

"What is your favorite sport?"

"Fishing."

"Where is your favorite haunt?"

"Gordon's."

What a lovely painting. Rick sounds like a cool guy... and maybe someday, someday, I will visit your area of the east coast. :) Your blog really paints a lovely picture of Crisfield.

Rick's painting is wonderful! His style has an Alex Colville feel to it.

Butler and Bagman had better join us for our cemetery shoot out. I will sic Reggie Girl on you. Also, you get to pick the April 3, assignment. What is it going to be?

Thanks Marilyn. The colors are beautiful.

Willow: Rick did not paint it, but he sure looks like he belongs in the painting. We all love our bay around here.
