9/11/13 gym, work, doylestown, Weasel, Hello Kitty Beer

9/11/13
Waiting for Boot Camp to start

I met a LinkedIn connection here at Zen Den –
a cute little coffee shop in Doylestown.
Glad to have made the discovery.
Waaaaay better than starbucks!

I met with Ernie – he writes wine articles for the
local paper & is on the PLCB advisory committee.
(PLCB = Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board)

I figured we could be good contacts for
one another. We discovered we had several
friends in common. Small world!

Wanted to get a picture with my RED SHOES!!!!

Stopped by PUCK, one of my accounts in Doylestown.
Still working on others…..

Does anyone know bar managers, owners up this way?
Please share!!!!

Trying for this account – Doylestown Country Club.
this would be sweet to get in here!!

I sell this wine & was hoping that a recent tasting
turned into a SALE & I could give them these
coasters. Unfortunately they passed.
Their loss! Next!!!

First thing I do when I get home is sit down &
write Thank You notes to the people I met today.
It’s important to have the Gratitude Attitude!

Been staring at this in my fridge for the past couple weeks.
Finally sat down & enjoyed it. I love this wine.
It’s like a tart Pinot Noir. Served Chilled.
Quite interesting!

Weasel relaxing

She doesn’t know she’s sick!!! Good for her!

Have you seen this beer yet???
Me neither!!
I’ll bet it’s GREAT, not!

this is the Creepy gas station guy on Street Road.
I might have to change stations bc this guy really
gives me the willies.
The thing is, they pump the gas for you
AND it is cheaper than self serve…..

The moving trucks have arrived.
One of our neighbors is moving.
We’re not sad about this one & hope we
get some really cool people in the house.

Drove into the city today to pick up a few cases of wine.
I was Delivery Girl today so a customer could get his
wine before his regular delivery date.

One of my stops today was the New Hope Winery.

I discovered an acquaintance of mine now works there.
Mike Conti has an Education Wine business.

http://fromstemtolearn.com/

He was quite helpful in providing some
leads to assist in my pursuit of customers.
The BEST part is, Mike knows & LOVES
the Winebow portfolio so that is influential!!

Kindness is FREE. Be Kind.

Lawnmower for sale & that green thing too.
Not sure what it is, do you???
Seed spreader??

Save the Date: September 28th & 29th

Saturday 9/7/13 Beach Volleyball in Atlantic City, NJ

Saturday 9/7/13
Up early today – had to leave at 6:15 a.m.
for our Volleyball Tournament

On my way to partner Diana’s house
I came across this horse farm

It was so cool looking,
I just HAD to stop and get a picture.

Atlantic City Boardwalk.
Quiet at 8 in the morning.

As you can see…..not many gamblers!
I guess they come out later?

Waiting for the tournament to begin.
There was a HUGE turnout today.

Setting up the lines

Me & partner Diana. We came in 5th place
out of 16 teams. REALLY TOUGH competition
today. I was surprised at how well we did.
GREAT JOB DIANA!!! Thanks for playing.

Lenny (left) pole dancing!!
There was live music at the bar behind us.
She ended up winning 1st place.
The team on the right is the team that
beat us in playoffs.

We lost 25 – 28 😦

If the game was to 21 we would have WON!
Because we were up 22 -20!

Stealth Photo of Mohawk guy

After playing we went to the Bikini Bar.
As part of our registration we each received
$25 vouchers to use for food & drink.

The bar was PACKED! We got a snack & a drink
then high-tailed it back to Philadelphia.
It was a very long day.

Wish I had some PIG PARKER CARDS with me!!

Atlantic City on Saturday.

he could have been our personal photographer!
Great pictures PETE!!!
