Thursday 6/28/12 morning run, Taorminas, wine

THURSDAY 6/28/12

Chester & I ran through the Industrial Park today.

We were looking for a fire that occurred the

other night but we couldn’t find it.

We did find this place: Seton Turf that I will

come back & check out their bird seed.

I never knew it was there!

I hope they have the good stuff.

also didn’t know this VFW hall was there.

It’s amazing what you find when you walk/run

instead of drive!

took this photo for neighbor Denise.

She brings her dog here when they go on vacation

or if she is going to be out all day.

She really likes it a lot.

Does your dog need TLC while you are away?

made some fresh squeezed OJ today.

nothing tastes better….mmmmm!

had dinner at Taormina’s tonight

with Danny, girlfriend Rachael & sister Pat.

I got the pasta purses – always good –

they NEVER disappoint.

filled with fontina cheese & prosciutto

tried the Rose of Malbec I got yesterday.

Liked it A LOT. If you see this wine

don’t be afraid to buy it.

It’s a great wine for a hot summer day!

dry & crisp, NOT sweet.

like to eat at Taormina’s!

of you are local. Wondering what to do with

that old computer that lives in your basement?

Wednesday 6/27/12 gym, INTERVIEW, wine, dorito taco,

Wednesday 6/27/12

YAY – our regular teacher was back for Boot Camp –

she’s brutal!!! Kristin is up front in the blue –

getting the music ready

Had an interview HERE today at a Starbucks

in Bridgewater, NJ. It’s about an hour from Ivyland.

the company was Tri-Vin Imports –

a Wine distributor.

The meeting went well, I think.

http://www.tri-vin.com/

Bryan Cole is who I met with –

he is on the left. I’ll keep you posted.

stopped at Central Liquors on my way home

from the interview. Met with Carl the wine buyer.

He’s keeping an eye out for jobs for me too.

Oh yeah – picked up a couple bottles of wine too.

self-explanatory….

I stopped at Taco Bell on the way home (starving!).

I got a Dorito Locos Taco.

I really like them & anyone I know who ate one

also likes them. Have you tried them??

The only people I know who don’t like them

are people that never ate one…….

friend Denise was asking me some

questions about the new bathroom paint job.

She was curious about that red tag

in the corner of the mirror.

a Safety Sticker – most likely Danny Diehl

put it up when he was sharing the

bathroom with sister Pat!

btw – Larry can paint your bathroom

(or any room) if you need him too.

Let me know!

new art work for sister Pat’s birthday

CHEERS!!!

Tuesday 6/26/12 gym, farm eggs, Michael gardening, CHESTER

Tuesday 6/26/12

Jesse – the guy in yellow up front left, was our substitute

teacher today for Body Conditioning class.

He was tough but not like Kristin our regular instructor.

I like how the farm fresh eggs say they

are from their CHICKENS —

although platypus eggs would be interesting.

they have really nice basil & tomato plants

for sale as well — ONLY $4.

I’m going back to get a Basil Plant —

look how nice they look!!!

Let me know if you want one too.

we have Baby Bluebirds!!!

Day ONE for these babies.

Michael gardening.

He’s examining the bush I sort of butchered

because I had no idea what I was doing.

Not sure if he noticed – he never said anything!

Michael gardening, Chester helping.

Chester doing one of his funny sitting postures.

He’s always entertaining!

a friend’s new puppy!!

Weasel needs her toes painted.

I need to get the fast drying stuff.

Monday 6/25/12 storm, Job Fair, flowers, choco bananas

Monday 6/25/12

Chester & I ran this a.m. & as soon as we got

home the skies turned grey & it got all stormy.

I attended a job fair today sponsored by the

Washington Crossing United Methodist Church.

Up on the stage there was one-on-one

counseling with career & resume coaches.

The guy I met with said my resume was perfect.

He wouldn’t change a thing. YAY!

The event was SO WELL organized.

There were about 50 companies there

& LOTS of people looking for work.

I did make contact with one potential employer.

Anyone ever hear of ASI?

Do you know Jeannette Rhodunda??

She was the Employment Manager on hand.

The company sounds interesting.

http://www.asicentral.com/

When you were leaving they gave everyone

one of these books….

I mean – the job fair was at a CHURCH –

so I guess it makes sense.

They prayed for you too.

I hope it helps!

flowers from Michael….

just because!!!

I made these tasty chocolate covered banana pieces

with some ripe bananas. They came out pretty good!

IKEA interview – ahahaha!

take chances……

Saturday June 23rd 2012 Tanya’s 80’s 40th Birthday party

Saturday June 23rd 2012

this is where all the fun begins –

The Keeney Kastle

Tanya is FORTY!!!!!!

WARNING 40th B-day party in progress

all nicely decorated for the Princess

let the party begin!

gummi bear jello shots – they were weird

neighbor Deb & Tanya dressed in their 80’s outfits

MAX!

LOOK — Kevin threw the glow stick bracelet

on to Tanya’s party hat!! good job!!

(and how did I get that picture too?)

break dancing – that was an 80’s thing, yes?

Me with the birthday girl.

I opted to bike & exercise instead of

shop & spend money on an 80’s outfit.

I couldn’t do both……

hence why I am dressed “normal”

near the end of the night (for me at least)

~Gathered around the fire pit.

things always seem to happen

all at once for me

6/23/12 ~~ 53 mile bike ride!

6/23/12

It was a gorgeous day for a bike ride.

It was going to be HOT so we got an early start.

On the road by 8 a.m.!

We like to ride from the State Park Bull’s Island.

It’s a good 30 minute drive from our house

& is located in NJ. I like starting & ending there

because they have nice bathrooms!

I always change out of my hot sweaty bike

garb after riding. That was one of my first

Lessons when training with a bike instructor.

“Get Changed!”

frog statue at the park.

I don’t know who Katie is.

everyone getting ready to ride

Jim

on today’s ride: Jim, Helen, Mary & Tom

plus Michael the photographer.

Everyone else had excuses why they couldn’t ride.

We ended up riding 53 miles.

I was tempted to quit at 35 but didn’t.

good job Helen…..

One of our favorite roads to ride on…..

(that’s Jim way up front)

Creek Road (with flash this time)

and old building on the side of the road.

the fogginess is either due to

GHOSTS or my camera being sweaty.

your choice.

Lambertville Trading Company (26 miles).

Michael likes stopping here because

they have “good iced tea”.

Their pastries aren’t bad either.

friends Tom & Mary ran into some neighbors

Does exercising for 3 hours in one day

carry over for 3 days??

===============================

We all learn from one another every day.

You can learn to improve yourself, or to advance in a discipline.

You can also pass on your knowledge and influence to others.

See: great power, great responsibility.

Things that seem small at first will come along

and affect the remainder of our lives.

Is it due to fate, chance, or destiny?

Sometimes it’s hard to say for sure.

And does it really matter?

Either way, lives are changed,

and the next step is up to you.
