in your neighborhood….
(no peeking!)

Come on out, it should be fun?
Interesting, at least.

Free Donuts or Doughnuts –
however you want to spell them…
FREE is spelled the same either way FREE!

Krispy Kreme will be celebrating National Donut Day, on Friday, June 7, by offering free donuts of any variety to visitors at any participating Krispy Kreme locations in Canada or the US.

No purchase is necessary to grab your free donut on June 7, 2013.

National Donut Day was first established in 1938 by The Salvation Army to raise fund for people in need during the Great Depression and is celebrated annually on the first Friday in June.

Even the master yogi took a first class.

Start somewhere, take a tiny step.
Something is better than nothing.
Everyone starts somewhere.

Sunday 6/2/13 Zumba Class, Seafood Grille & sitting on the front porch

Sunday 6/2/13

Started the day doing something I’ve never done!
ZUMBA CLASS

“Zumba is a dance fitness program created by
dancer and choreographer Alberto “Beto” Perez
in Colombia during the 1990s.”

There was a free class (donations) at Warminster Park.
It was different – not sure I LOVE it but glad I tried it.

Maddie visiting the Lighthouse in Long Beach Island!

Tried a new restaurant tonight

The have these seafood steam pots that sound good.
Will have to go back & try one sometime.

I ordered skate because it’s something I would
never make at home. It was good, not GREAT.

I would definitely give Seafood Grille another chance.

After dinner we had the chance to relax on our front porch.
It was a quiet night. Nice with a little breeze.
Cool Clouds.

Weasel enjoyed it!
She travels with her bed.

The perfect pairing for dessert!
Banyuls is a dessert wine – goes great with chocolate.

Banyuls is a type of dessert wine from a southwest region of France. An appellation, a Banyuls wine is any one of a number of sweet wines coming from the region in or around the town of Banyuls-sur-Mer. Banyuls is considered one of France’s finest, most complex wines.

June 1st 2013 Beach Volleyball, Temperance House & Brother Raymond’s

June 1st 2013

WHEN did it get to be JUNE??
Time flies …. like this bird.
Who (besides Deb) can Identify this bird??

TODAY was the start of our Summer Beach volleyball season.
Point Pleasant, NJ

setting up the lines — I like how you can see
all the nets down the row setting the lines

Hello Kitty Duck tape to the rescue!

My partner today is Diana on the left.
Suzy & I also play together occasionally.

My new little house that Michael got for me.
I can carry it like a backpack – it’s fairly lightweight.

warming up

I pretty much hate this picture of me but
I wanted to show you the sweatshirt
I had to buy! It was 90° back home
but 65° & Breezy at the beach.

partner Diana & I – we DNMP
(did not make playoffs).
We had many excuses why we didn’t win.
We’ll do better next time.
Expectations are not real high for the first tournament-
ESPECIALLY with the wind factor.

the benefit of finishing early is We got to see the
Mighty Manatees (http://www.themightymanatees.com)
at the Temperance house in Newtown.

http://temperancehouse.com/

I also made a contact for my Wine Business.
Does anyone know Erica Darragh ???

friend Dean & Michael.
Dean saw the Manatees before. He suggested
we come check them out. They were good.

A visit to Brother Raymond’s house after
seeing the Mighty Manatees.
Ray & wife Rosemary live nearby.

Thursday 5/30/13 gym, work, Biking, wine…..

Thursday 5/30/13

I was able to sneak in a workout before
going on some sales calls.
The good part about my job is it offers flexibility

Yogi Yoga

had some sales calls in New Hope today & my
boss got the coveted parking spot!

it was HOT today — 105° woo hoo!

getting ready for a hot & sweaty ride

just 3 bikers tonight.
I guess the heat scared away people?

Me with Deb & Don a newer biker
Deb & I co-lead the ride!

we rode almost 17 miles – I can’t believe I didn’t
ride around the block to get to 17 miles

one of the other perks of my job is I always have
leftover wine from my tastings

Who thought of this idea?
Boneless Bananas

do everything with LOVE…

the Pig Biker is back at the park –
I saw him while I was running this morning.
Not only is he a pig biker but as evidenced in
this picture he is also a Pig Parker

Wine I was tasting with a customer today

It’s a French Bordeaux blend – tasty!
it is 20% Semillion & 80% Sauvignon Blanc

We also tasted this wine —
a sparkling wine from New Mexico
(French Winemaker)

This is one of my new accounts
in Doylestown, PA

http://www.slatebleu.com/

quiet time to do a tasting – on a Wednesday afternoon

time for another tasting….

This tasting was held at the Riegelsville Inn

http://www.riegelsvilleinn.com/

We were competing for a spot on the wine list.
Not so sure how I did.
I was up against some real veterans.
I’m going to chalk this one up as experience.

I HOPE it all works out in the end……

LIVE LIFE FULLY!!!!!!

the fun picture to make you smile 🙂

Tuesday 5/28/13 gym, work, cat, DOG needs Furever home, Seminar on Long …

Tuesday 5/28/13
was sooo Happy to get back to the gym.
I need this.

My office for the day.

My first paycheck from my REAL job……..

my new organizer. not sure I am loving it –
will let you know after I start using it.
Are you in sales? How do you keep tack of your
appointments & follow ups??

friend Jeff’s cat SIMCOE —
he likes to watch TV

Simcoe particularly likes BIG CAT TV shows!
Why can’t our cat watch television –
she’s boring!

Simcoe is AWESOME!

This is WOLFIE — & he needs a FURVER home!
He’s 15 years old. Who would give up a dog at that age?
Do you or someone you know need an awesome dog?

KC PRIME – friend Jesse was holding a seminar here tonight.
This is one of my new accounts!

friend Jesse getting photo bombed by his assistant Carrie
Andy Wrigley of Lincoln Financial Group
gave the presentation on Long Term Care Insurance.
This is something everyone needs to consider.

my friend Shannon who works with Elders
in Arizona said this:
"Seriously tell people to check out that seminar. 
Very few of my clients have 
LTCI but those that do it opens up so many doors for them. 
An average private room for a group home is $2800 a month. 
To go to an assisted living community starts in the low $2000, 
plus then you add on for levels of care, 
which can run well in the $3-$4000 range on up! 
And that's Arizona. 
I believe it's more expensive in your area. 
So, who has that kind of money? 
If they do how quickly will it be spent? 
There's many factors involved and the insurance is good to look in to."
Need more info??? Call/email Jesse!!!

or let me know & I can make the introduction.

This approach was way different than the last
long term care insurance that I learned about last week.

Everyone has different needs.

Chester Chilling.
His infection looks quite good.
He’s having a speedy recovery & not going to die –
well, not yet at least!
