Tuesday 2.5.14 Knowlton Mansion, Huntingdon Valley CC, Traffic!!! wine

Tuesday 2.5.14
Using my newly acquired coffee mug that
was abandoned in my car…..
it’s cute, right?

MY first appointment today was at the Knowlton Mansion.
They are catering our High School reunion.
I am hoping they bring in some of my wines for the event.

Beth is married to Jack Conroy – who I went to
grade school with… hoping this helps?
Do you know Beth or Jack?

The snow has caused some problems –
but you can’t say it doesn’t look nice!

Huntingdon Valley Country Club.
Great views here regardless of the season.

Working from my center city office today.
and picking up wine that needs to be delivered.
That’s part of my job….

I had a bulb out & stopped at my mechanics.
We love Dominic – he is the BEST.
Tell him HELEN sent you…..

The drive from Street rd to Freedom Way on Johnsville Blvd.
It is usually a minute drive, literally.
Unless you get stuck behind
an Ann’s Choice resident – then it’s 2 minutes.
Today – it took TWENTY MINUTES.
There was an accident & road closures.
Glad I wasn’t in a rush to get somewhere –
and if I was – oh well!

Wine that goes well with an Endless Winter

well, most of our neighbors are great.
this neighbor shoveled all his snow into
the alley so no one could drive down
because it was so deep.

Tonight was the first night of volleyball in a
community league that I signed up to play in

There are varying levels of play & the game plan
is to group them accordingly, thankfully!

Instead of complaining about your circumstances, get busy creating new ones. Remember that stumbling blocks become stepping stones when you look for the positive in a situation, even if you have to look a little harder than usual. Be thankful for the little struggles you go through today. They make you stronger and wiser. Don’t let them break you; let them make you.
