Made a million stops today —
from Yardley, Washington Crossing, New Hope,
Lumberville to Lahaska…..

Anyone know FRANK?? I need an in!

I’d REALLY like to find someone that can introduce
me to ALEX. Anyone??? He’s never there when I go!

New Hope on a gray day – not too busy which is
good for ME!

Stopped by to see friend Tommy who live in New Hope.
He gave me a couple eggplants!

Danny – does your boss know one of these guys?
David Zuckerman or JD Stinson??

eggplants that Tommy gave me.

8/27/13 WEASEL & Work

8/28/13

UPDATE
The news is not good about Weasel.
She has a mass on her spleen & the doctor doesn’t
think it makes sense to do surgery.
He thinks she might have 2 months to live.

“Everybody is born so that they can learn how to live a good life – like loving everybody and being nice, right?”
“Well, animals already know how to do that,
so they don’t have to stay as long.”

the outfit I wore to my friends wedding
YEARS ago….still fits!

Wanted to ear White since it’s almost labor day
& you’re not supposed to wear it after that date.

My company is having a HUGE PORTFOLIO Tasting.
There will be over a thousand wines.

Do you know anyone in the industry –
that might want to attend??
Let me know & I will get them an invite.

Apollo Grill my fist appointment today.
They bought a couple cases of wine from me.
It’s a start!

on a bench in Downtown Bethlehem.
Apparently Bicycle Bill used to hang around in
front of the store where the bench was.

Police horse in downtown Bethlehem.
I wonder why? I always see them.
It just seems odd.

Molinari’s – another visit to an account.
This place is GREAT to eat at.
If you are ever nearby don’t pass up the
opportunity to dine here.
You will NOT be disappointed!

All good!

I ate here today – was on the road & starving!

Discouragement, rather than failure,
is the enemy of success.
Those who can remain hopeful and focused,
though they fail,
are those who will eventually succeed.

It’s good to remember that
success may be just beyond the next failure,
and you’ll get there,
not because you’re destined to,
but because you’re determined to.

Monday 8/26/13 Veterinarian with Weasel, work, bacon air freshener

Monday 8/26/13

My vet was off today so they referred us to
Main Street Animal Hospital.

Weasel hasn’t been feeling good –
vomiting & diarrhea for days so
we needed to get her checked out.

It is a state of the art building.
One side for dogs & one for cats meow

Weasel in the waiting room. Really!
Dogs ARE allowed on the couch!

Selfie – Me & Weasel

This is the consultation room!!
The doctor sat on the floor & talked to Weasel
(and Me)

I REALLY liked Dr Warren & would go back in a heartbeat.

Weimaraner Clock in the consult room.

Weasel got some fluids, drugs & had an ultrasound.
She has a mass on her spleen. This doesn’t sound good.
I will know more when I talk to my regular
veterinarian. Will keep you posted.

WORKING from home today –
lots to do to get prepared for Tuesday tastings
in Bethlehem, PA.

Weasel helping me work….

Here are Weasel meds.
