9/28/15 Food Rules book, Dogs! Work from home then Dog school

9/28/15

Michael Pollan has written lots of great books.
FOOD RULES condensed them all into one book.
It is an easy read & most likely things we
already know but don’t do.

It’s a good reminder: FOOD RULES.

Would anyone like to read it when I’m done with it?

I don’t think either dog is paying attention.
Looks like both their eyes are closed.

This is better. Neighborhood watch.

working from home…..it never ends!

Met KATRINA at dog school tonight.
She’s a friend of a friend (Jesse)

Katrina’s dog is an Airedale named Fitz

Michael & Chester

Sunday September 27th 2015

Started reading Because of Winn~Dixie

It seems familiar like I’ve already read it.
It’s an easy book to read so I’ll keep at it.

These 2 on a Sunday morning.

We have 4 other dog beds but they insist on sharing.

Ran into my Dentist, Paul & his wife Gerri
in downtown Doylestown

friends Linda & Bruce moved to Doylestown Borough
so on my way home I stopped to visit them.

Michael took this photo of some vultures having lunch.

Michael, surprisingly, didn’t want to eat out tonight
so I got the chance to cook, which I love!

Roasted Kale, tomato salad & grilled eggplant parmesan.

Stop worrying about how difficult it will be.

With the Pope coming to town there is signage all over
warning to be prepared for delays

Weasel with her HEART toy.
She just carries it around. Never chews it.

Weasel found another bed to lay in

yummy beet salad at Castello in Blue Bell.

I had a loooong meeting with my new manager.

Wine tasting in Skippack at Brasserie 73

She bought everything I showed her!

stopped in at Hotel Fiesole & sold more wine 🙂

Visited my car on the way home.
The LEOPARD mobile is in the shop.
It needs a motor for the seat.

My car is 14 years old!

Michael wanted to go out so we went to
the Publick House ……..my new account.

We lucked out & got to play TRIVIA night.
It was FUN.

If you or someone you know is job hunting
I highly recommend this seminar.
It’s worth the $10 investment

For most of us, someday is the single most dangerous word we utter:
it grants us the illusion of future possibility without having to focus on that which is important today.
Just imagine, though, how different your life would be if you made someday happen today? Or worse, what if you wait?
Years from now you might be sitting around pining for someday to arrive someday.
