Tuesday June 24th 2014 Raymond in the Magazine, FREE STUFF, car accident :(

Tuesday June 24th 2014
I was reading the Bucks County magazine this morning

and came across this!!

It is a Sculpture brother Raymond made & it was
in the magazine advertising his services!

http://www.tuttometaldesign.com/

remind me to get his autograph!

gym class before getting the day started.

One great aspect of my job is the flexibility it offers.
Plus not too many people want to taste wine at 8:30 in the morning.

FREE WATER BOTTLE – who wants it???

WINEBOW, my office.

had to drive into the City to pick up WINE!

that’s my coworkers bicycle.

On my way to my first appointment
I drove past our old house on Rhawn Street in Philadelphia.

A little different than where we live now!

Dattilo’s was the corner store we always went to.
Haven’t been there in AGES!

Today I was showing these two wines.
We are no longer going to carry the PROTOS brand
so we are offering a DEEP discount on these.

They are great wines, I hope I can do my best job
to convince customers to buy as much as they can!
It’s such a great value, I can’t imagine people not buying it.

Stopped to see my Customer Cafe Michelangelo.
He’s having a BBQ if you are around 4th of July weekend.

Warwick Police responding to an Accident…..

My accident!!
I fell asleep & rear ended the car in front of me.
We were all ok & happy it wasn’t worse
bc it could have been!!!

I just talked to my DR in the morning about me
getting sleepy. It doesn’t usually happen when I
am driving. It usually happens when I am exercising.

Weird!

Let’s hope it doesn’t happen ever again!!!!

The guys car…..

He was totally cool about the whole thing which
when you have an accident is nice.
You certainly don’t need someone screaming at you!
