Saturday 11/27/10 Flag Football, it’s all fun & games…..

Saturday 11/27/10
Our neighbor Todd organized our First neighborhood Flag Football Game.
We are hoping it becomes a tradition.
It was cold, chilly, windy but we still had a GREAT turnout.
I was sick of being sick so I ventured out too!

Michael’s mom invited us to early dinner @ OUTBACK

with Michael’s brother Jimmy & family. They live in

Maryland & we don’t get to see them often.

Cimg3192
Jimmy wanted to see how the convertible worked.
I never saw it in action either so it was kind of cool.
Cimg3211

wasn’t really very hungry – went with a salad….

Filet Wedge Salad

~ Tender sliced filet with a cool, crisp wedge of fresh Iceberg lettuce,

Blue Cheese dressing, grape tomatoes, red onions, bacon and

Blue Cheese crumbles, drizzled with a sweet balsamic glaze.

November 24th, 2010 Parade Stand, mail

November 24th, 2010

Schlepped into work today despite still not feeling well.
Wanted to catch up on stuff so I wouldn’t be totally behind
when I went back on Monday as I am off Thanksgiving & Friday.
Cimg1082
One of the Judging Stands for the Philadelphia
Thanksgiving Day Parade.
I haven’t been to the Parade in years & won’t be
attending this year 😦
Cimg2034
got this new scarf in the mail. It has a secret pocket
compartment that I love. Sometimes when I walk the
dogs I am pocketless & have nowhere to stow my stuff
(camera, iPhone) – ta da – now i do!!!
Cimg3162
got some FAN MAIL from my friend Jackie in Arizona —
LUV IT!!  please send more!!

When is the last time you wrote a LETTER??

try it, it’s FUN & the recipient will be DELIGHTED!

My sister had her “kids” in school write letters,

address & stamp them — some where clueless –

had NO IDEA where “things” went —

as in – Address, STAMP! return address –

that’s sad. I’ll ALWAYS write letters.

 

still not feeling well – so it’s another Lame Day in

Picture of the Day.

Things should improve soon –

I can’t stay sick forever!
