friend Billy loved his gift of Beef Jerky.
Always a nice surprise.
It’s just fun getting an envelope from Helen

Pumpkin Spice – a new seasonal flavor I tried.
I like Gingerbread better but this is fine for now.

Great job collecting food for the needy Denise.

rescued my nail polish Smokin’ Hot at the salon.
I inadvertently left it there the other day.
I’m glad I took a picture so I could show her the color
when I retrieved it.

animals for the neck in New Hope, PA
~ who needs one?

Called on my customer Nick who owns Logan Inn.
These were the original owners of the Logan Inn.
Their daughter died in Room 6 of the Inn.
It is notorious for being Haunted!

Room 6, also known as Emily’s room is by far is one of the most requested rooms by ghost hunters, thrill seekers and historians.

Weasel hoping she is not next

my bird store was having a party.

I like getting the bird food here bc it’s always fresh.
They have a high turnover of food.
and they know lots about birds so they can answer
any questions you might have.

It was packed!! the line snaked around the store.
they had some good sales.
