************************************************
My mother raised me with the practice of

putting ‘a zip in the day.’

She said that’s when we make some fun happen.

Her idea was that instead of waiting for fun to happen, we could choose to make fun happen.

Nothing planned, just on the spur of the moment.

This spontaneity could manifest if you decide to drive a different route or if you decide to stop and play in the park.

To put a zip in the day, you simply decide to do something that creates some fun in the day.

Put some zip in your day, and have some fun.”

Sunday 6.15.14 Biking on Father’s Day, Taco Suave, doggies

Sunday 6.15.14

Out for a short spin on Father’s Day.
We were biking to breakfast.

met this cute Shiba Inu
I never saw a White one before this

The Shiba Inu (柴犬) is the smallest of the six original and distinct spitz breeds of dog from Japan.

WE had breakfast at the Hatboro Dish –
under new management.

it was good!

meanwhile, my bike shoe & cleat broke so it’s
time to go shopping for new ones!

My new Hello Kitty jewelry thanks to friend Judith.

We stopped to see friends Judith & Michael bc
they live near the breakfast place.

Judith surprised me with a nice present!

I love the dog shadows !!

a relaxing dog day Sunday afternoon

Michael wanted to come here for his
Father’s Day Dinner

I had Shrimp Ceviche which was very good.

later we stopped at the Garden Pub

(neighbors Denise & Roman’s back yard)

We have a FUN new “game” to play.

FUN questions to spark entertaining conversation.

Denise made this HUGE cork board.
It’s totally cool!

Every cat owner understands this.

Cats have something against drinks being in cups.

If they see one, they’ll put it on the floor.

Not sure why, but I guess they just like to free drinks.

Never stop spreading your kindness.

How you make others feel about themselves,
says a whole lot about you.
So treat people right.
Kindness IS a gift you can afford to give.
