10/10/10 Sunday Orienteering, birthday dinner @ Chickie’s
10/10/10
Today my friend Kathy invited me to go ORIENTEERING with her & her mom.
Do you know what ORIENTEERING is? If not, learn more here:
but basically…..
“Orienteering is a family of sports that requires navigational skills
using a map and compass to navigate from point to point…..”

The “backyard” of BCCC
is Tyler State Park. I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again –
We are SO LUCKY to live in such a beautiful area.
We never take it for granted & ALWAYS appreciate it!

had a great time navigating around in the woods

tonight we went to Chickie’s & Pete’s for dinner.

http://www.chickiesandpetes.com/
It’s a popular bar/restaurant in Philadelphia that we
never go to because it’s not real close & Michael
doesn’t really like it. I was in the mood for CRABS
& chickie’s is the place to go for crabs…
 |
|
i like drinking grey goose dirty martini’s
with my crab legs
|
 |
|
we tried their new menu item – Cheese steak nachos –
not quite “diet food” …. VERY TASTY…..
|
 |
|
Chickie’s specialty crab fries -we went with the combo….
regular crabfries & sweet potato fries…
both were yummy!
|
 |
|
of course Michael ordered wings – good thing b/c he hardly
ate any of his dinner – he was being rebellious – oh well –
it’s my birthday & that’s where I wanted to go!
|
 |
|
snow crab legs – one of the reasons people eat at Chickie’s!

while all around us are smiling.
May we so live that we go out of this world smiling
while everybody around us is weeping.
