Monday 9/16/13

BE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

Fred’s for breakfast – meeting with
Gary – a guy I met through
Bucks County Community College job club.
Gary wants to make wine a career so I
answer his questions & tell him what I think
about the industry.

Stopped by the studio to see Brother Ray

He’s been making these cool necklaces
& cool displays for them.

Remember my ” Poop police” activity??
Guess what?? Someone let their dog POOP
right there in front of the tree – without
picking it up!!! And there are even BAGS
for them to use. I guess I’ll have to setup a
camera to catch the perpetrator ?

Anyone have any other ideas???

A HAWK visiting our back yard –
he was here this morning & afternoon too –
he must be hungry –
He’s come to the Lucky Leopard Lounge
Bird Buffet ………

LOVING this Sparkling Water —
POMEGRANATE SANGRIA
~one of my very favorites —

This is where I will be the next few days so
I will get behind with Picture of the Day –
but of course I’ll catch up when I get home!

I’ll be in NYC at Winebow’s Portfolio Tasting.
Will you be in NYC too?? Look me up!
send a text – I’ll buy you a glass of wine!

ALWAYS end the day with a
POSITIVE THOUGHT

******************************************
It’s perfectly normal that when waiting for a really big dream to come true it seems like it’s taking forever, you wonder if you’re doing something wrong, and you feel like you should just be happy with less.

But I promise you, no matter how long it takes, once it happens it’ll seem as if time flew, you’ll wonder how you ever doubted yourself, and you’ll feel like you should have aimed a little higher.

Aim a little higher…………..
