We NEVER tire of this view.

He might be spending more time here now…..

Lunch with co-workers at

Cheers to co-worker Milko who works our
Pittsburgh Market.
We called him while we were having lunch
& sent him this picture.

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

What’s done is done, but life goes on.

Take a deep breath.
It’s going to be OK… maybe not today, but eventually.
There will be times when it seems like everything
that could possibly go wrong is going wrong.
You might feel like you will be stuck
in this rut forever, but you won’t.
Sure the sun stops shining sometimes,
and you may get a huge thunderstorm or two,
but eventually the sun will come out to shine.
Sometimes it’s just a matter of us
staying as positive as possible
in order to make it to see the sunshine
break through the clouds again.

The first step is never easy.

The beginnings to good things are always the hardest, but it’s these hard times that pave the path to greatness. Be strong and keep the faith. It will be worth it in the end. The greatest miracle of your success in life will not be that you finished, it will be that you found the strength and courage to begin.

Weasel getting her “mail”…..

Chester, leaving his “mail”…..
Everyone will know it was I who was here.

Today we went on a hike with the bike club.
This is ZACH.

The hike started from the
Holcombe-Jimison Farmstead Museum
just north of Lambertville, NJ

http://www.holcombe-jimison.org/

we took the Canal path down to Stockton.
The whole hike was approximately 5 miles

Annie came along too.

I kind of wish we brought Chester Rose ButtSniffer

we had about 20 people on the hike which was
really more like a walk….

Outside the Stockton Farmer’s Market
Me & Joyce with Don & Deb

There is the AWESOME candy shop in the market.

Santa was in our neighborhood.

The Ivyland Fire crew – thank you for bringing
Santa to the neighborhood!

We got quite a bit of snow –
the dogs were out playing

Chester LOVES the snow….

Here are some people who do NOT like the snow.
There were backups & accidents EVERYWHERE.
I’m glad to be safe & snug indoors at home!!
