Monday 4/14/14 SNOW, working form home, 3 Bears, New Car!!

Monday 4/14/14
Tuesday forecast – it is REALLY saying the “S” word?
especially after the gorgeous weekend we just had!

Weasel is my office assistant when I work from home.

It was a good MAIL day.
We got invited to a Kentucky Derby Party,
Got an Easter Card, a Thank You card
AND a pre-paid Visa card from rebate
for Weasel drugs.

hmmmm neihgbor Deb wanted to know
if we had space for a cake in the
beer fridge?? We made room!

Chester & I out for a walk.
Look who is approaching!?

It’s the 3 Bears, as we have affectionately named them.
Mother, Father & Son walk around the neighborhood.
It cracks me up that the son always wears flip flops
for the walk.

sister Pat’s NEW CAR!!
Woo hoo!! Good Luck with it 🙂

little girl & her dog

Cute photo for you to enjoy!

Everything you do is based on
the choices you make.

****************************************

We’re pretty optimistic about tomorrow,
but why will tomorrow be any different from today?
Spoiler alert: it won’t be.
Which means it’s time to get real with ourselves,
stop making excuses, and finally be honest
about what we are and are not willing to do
to get what we want.

Friday 4/11/14
Happy Fantastic Friday 🙂

These were SOME of the wines we were tasting today.
(Four of us tasting …..)
Whites/ Sparkling, not pictured.

We have a new line of wines added to our portfolio
& we needed to learn about them.

tasting wine at 10 a.m. Hard Job, right??

ummm YES!!! it is!!!

this was one of my favorites..
the LEOPARD Cabernet Sauvignon

No animals were hurt in the production of this wine!

as seen at a New Hope Shop!!!

Mother’s Wine Bar

I was working here tonight

I was doing a SOREL tasting

http://jackfrombrooklyn.com

The natives of the Caribbean islands have long known the hibiscus plant to be a potent spice. Renown for its curative properties–and as a powerful aphrodisiac–they would ferment its flowers, and serve on festive occasions. Each island enjoyed slight differences in their recipes, relative to their indigenous horticulture.

friend Tommy came to see me as did his friends!
My own set of groupies!

Made a friend SUE – she was in charge of picture taking.

Sue does Window Treatments, check her our here:

The Blue Tortilla – where we ate dinner tonight

They asked if we had a RESERVATION??
Really?? Because as you can see they
were SWAMPED with customers.

crunch chicken tacos which were really taquitos.
they were ok. but we’ve DEFINITELY had better
Mexican food. I don’t think we will be going back here.

Friends Deb, Cat, Tanya & ME 🙂

Ski Club Brian & neighbor Deb

We had fun despite the service being slow & the food
not being so hot.

We decided service might have been better
if the server wasn’t busy on her phone??

Liking what you do is HAPPINESS!

Elephants at the elephant orphanage in Pinnawala, Sri Lanka. The orphanage was originally founded in order to afford care and protection to the many orphaned elephants found in the jungle. As of 2003, there were 65 elephants. Since the captive breeding program was launched in 1982, over 20 elephants have been born. The aim of the orphanage is to simulate the natural world. However, there are some exceptions: The elephants are taken to the river twice daily for a bath, and all the babies under three years of age are still bottle fed by the volunteers.
