The Cherry Trees are all blossoming!
All the plants are confused with the warm weather.

Not 70 degrees & balmy!

 

 
a neighbor who is going through cancer treatment,
had someone anonymously leave 12 days of Christmas gifts at his house each day for 12 days to brighten his Holiday.Needless to say, it was very much appreciated.
We do live in an awesome neighborhood.
I can understand why no one wants to move!

Santa brought me this CORAVIN. woo hoo!!

It is a Wine preservation system.

12/24/15 new book, gym, Chester/vet, Nektar Christmas Eve dinner

12/24/15
the new book I am reading.

Does anyone else like Lisa Scottoline??

Christmas Eve Gym was Crowded!!!

Chester coming home from the vet.

He was on Rimadyl but we learned today he
cannot take it as it adversely affects his liver.
This is unfortunate because he was doing
exceptionally well on this drug.

The VET is switching Chester to this.
Anyone familiar with it??

for people & DOGS too, apparently!

Our powder room Christmas Towel 🙂

Christmas Eve Dinner at Nektar

We ended up here instead of Center City
as originally planned.

Lobster Tail. yum!!

See ALL of the pictures from NEKTAR here:

to different destinations on Christmas day.

Not a TON of presents under our tree.
Who needs STUFF anyway?? really.

May you be happy,
May you be healthy,
May you be safe,
May you live with ease.

12/23/15 Great Book, gym, VIzsla sweater, cousin Rose visit, dogs, beer school

12/23/15
My favorite new book that I just finished reading.
I am willing to lend it out if you would also like to read it.
I usually give my books away when I am finished reading them but I want to keep this one.
Let me know if YOU want to read it.
You WILL want to read it.

Scott’s “happiness formula”:

Eat Right
Exercise.
Get enough sleep.
Imagine an incredible future.
Work toward a Flexible Schedule.
Do things you can steadily improve at.
Help others. (one of my 8 commandments)
Reduce Daily decisions to Routine.

so simple, right?
one would think…….

Boot Camp before getting the day started!

The awesome VIZSLA sweater that Michael got me.
It has a story. I’ll tell you if you want to know.

A visit to cousin Rose Mary who is sick with bronchitis.
Merry Christmas!!!

Her apartment is in NJ &
She has a great view of the Philly Skyline.
(Especially on clear days!)

it was cool seeing this barge full of trains going
down the Delaware River

LOOK what Rose Mary has!!!

she uses them to color in her Adult Coloring Book!

sister Pat, Cousin Rose Mary (looking good for being sick)
& ME!

Weasel and our resident Frog (who is as big as a cantaloupe!) have STARING CONTESTS.
Weasel will stand there & literally stare for hours.

One of Mike’s presents I wrapped tonight.
pen pal Stefanie read it & liked it a lot.

I’m sure I’ll get to read it when Michael is finished with it.

friend Tanya with her pup Sweetie Pie.

” Ryker Long Dog”

DEB won the Beer School Prize!!!!

Congratulations Deb!!!

friend Carol from the gym gave me this box of cookies.
We almost ate the whole box!

Vizsla Elf on the Shelf!!

Every day may not be good but
