LOVE THIS —  a customer brought in a
broken bottle to see if he could find it
(we didn’t have it)
Img_6247
A hawk flew across the road and landed on
this utility pole – Can you see him up top?
Img_6250
THEN another one – flew across the street –
with DINNER in hand. I watched her pluck the
bird & eat.  Very fascinating!

Danny’s official acceptance letter into Paramedic School –

Michael’s been working on a friend’s bathroom
laying tile

It’s ceramic tile that looks like wood.

Benji:     Lhasapoo

Bradley: Cockapoo

Hope these Dogs can be Placed Together
  • need home due to DIVORCE 😦
  • both dogs are 2 years old
  • Love children, neutered,
  • have all their shots, housebroken

These are similar to what they look like.
The original flyer was sent in WORD
& I am waiting for the jpeg pictures
so I can show what they really look like.
Both are cute & great dogs.

Do you or anyone you know need two cute pups?
LMK!
Q
Keep Calm and Love Dogs

Friend Jeff came over for a meet & greet with
our neighbors cat that he may adopt.
They already have 5 cats & thought that

instead of sharing.
Img_6290

Img_6293
Very Handsome!!!
I think Jeff wants him – WHO wouldn’t want him??
soooooo CUTE!!
Img_6295
We had round 2 Thanksgiving Dinner

11/24/12 Saturday ~ gym, Enjoy By, Studying, Thai Food

11/24/12 

Img_6250
A little slow from last night’s festivities & planned a
BUSY DAY but no excuse to not hit the gym
first thing this morning.  We had a sub & she wasn’t
very good -that was probably a bonus for me.
Img_6252
LOOK WHAT I HAVE!!!
Stone Enjoy By 12.21.12
~The BEST BEER on the planet…..
available now – ONE to a customer!!
Img_6253
oh yes – the VERY FIRST Christmas Card every year
without Fail from friends Dave & Jen.  nice 🙂
Img_6268
We were thinking about getting these matching
pajamas for the family, dogs & cat.
What do you think??
Img_6269
Today I spent a huge part of the day STUDYING —
this was after doing “homework” for my
reinvention coach.
Img_6270
Me studying
Img_6272
No wine glasses here today!
It was time to get cracking with the books.
Exam date is December 11th.
I will be spending ANY & ALL
“spare time” studying!
Img_6276
Tonight we went for some Thai Food –
I had a coupon. I love saving money!
Img_6277
Michael tried a Thai Beer –
it was uneventful.
Img_6278
Kind of cool to think of Food as
Forward Food or Backward Food
Img_6279
Would anyone like to come to a COCKTAIL SWAP?
At least you don’t have to spend days in the
kitchen baking….. Who’s in?
AFTER 12/11, of course!

a stranger into a friend.

The not ready for photo photo –
We traditionally like to bike on Thanksgiving day –
burning off the calories before eating them.
Img_0572
friend Joyce & Me in Tyler State Park

We don’t even realize we are exercising honestly.
We just love to get out & see the views
& hang out with friends.
Img_0574
We biked over to brother Raymond &
wife Rosemary’s house.
We were both doing our own thing today.
We will see them on Sunday for Thanksgiving.

Nice hair, Ray!
Img_0575

from C’est la vie bakery for
us to eat on our pit stop today
Img_0576

11/21/12 

Img_6197
Do you know where I am based on this picture?
Img_6199
How about now?? We have the famous singing dog CINDY.
She sings Happy Birthday to you.
Img_6199a
Rule 17 was in effect.

“We want you to be comfortable and stay as long as you wish.
You can even just come in and sit all day and drink free coffee.
However if there are no available seats and some one wants to order
breakfast please give up your stool so we can make some money.”
Img_6200
Friend Joyce’s application to be a member of FRED’s.
Img_6202
We NEVER EVER tire of this view & it is most
SPECATACULAR every time we come here.
Img_6204
Today was super busy – Thanksgiving Eve!
Img_6207a
Stopped to visit friend Tommy.
He lives in New Hope nearby Fred’s.
Tommy & I  used to work together at the
Philadelphia Stock Exchange.
Img_6209
next stop was C’est La Vie Bakery
Img_6210
They have all kinds of delicious treats, Calorie free –
I don’t know how they do it!!!

We were getting treats to take to my brother’s
house for our Thanksgiving morning bike ride pit stop.
Img_6211
C’est La Vie  had a rough year – first they burned down
then they got slammed in the recent Storm –
but they ALWAYS come back…..

At my Thanksgiving Wine pouring in Philadelphia.
Quite the bust though because they were out
of stock of the wines I was pouring.
Img_6219
Can you see the line??
It was to the back of the store all night long.
WHO waits until the night before Thanksgiving
to buy their wine???  Insanity!
