10/15/13 DOGS!! gym, QUISP, furever home needed

10/15/13

All the animals in bed – that’s what it’s like every morning!
Bed Hogs! all on “my side”
A much needed day at the gym.
I missed a couple days last week 😦
The Self-Service is the only way to go at the Post Office.
which means: someone is getting a present in the mail
from Helen– is it you???
had some Quisp for breakfast.
I think I liked to better when I was a kid……
and the birthday cards are STILL rolling in –
as are the celebrations…
I am still accepting birthday lunches/dinners
opened a bottle of this tasty Chardonnay that
we bought when we were in Napa in April.
It seems like soooo long ago.
This is from Sunday – club member Sue took this photo
of Michael giving me a jet assist as we call it.
He helps me up hills – I really appreciate it!
I also like how my butt does not look too big!
Rocky is a 4 month old puppy
that needs a FUREVER HOME
We think he is a chihuahua/pomeranian mix.
He loves people and is great with children.Do you or someone you know need an adorable pup??
LMK!!

One of the most tragic things
I know about human nature is
that all of us tend to put off living.

We are all dreaming
of some magical rose garden over the horizon,

instead of enjoying the roses
blooming outside our windows today.

Sunroof view on our way to biking.

Today we were doing the “volunteer” ride from Tinicum Park.
Our club’s Covered Bridge Ride is next weekend & since
many members can’t ride bc they are volunteering
we do the ride a week in advance.

How many people does it take to fix a flat tire?
Five, apparently…..

Motorcycles meet bicycles

Come do our Covered Bridge Ride with us!!

It’s just as realistic to envision success

It’s just as possible for you to make the effort

You always have the power to make a difference. Choose to use that power
in positive, purposeful and life-enriching ways.

Every day, the choice is yours to make.
Choose goodness, success and fulfillment.

Bad things do happen;
how I respond to them
defines my character and the quality of my life.
I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness,

or I can choose to rise from the pain

-— life itself.
