Weasel licking her bowl clean.
The dogs LOVE Chester Chow.

Let me know if you need Home Made dog food.
Better food than conventional.

Pope potties…..

Friend Ryno took this photo of the Porta Potties
lining Market Street in Center City.

The city is trying to be prepared….

Text I got from a customer about
“Snail Mail” I sent him after I
first met him.

Whenever I drop off the car to my mechanic
I always decorate his envelope that the keys are in.
Why not?

Saw the POPE at the grocery store…..
He’s all the rage in Philly.

got some tasty salmon dish at Wegmans.
paired well with the Sake I got from work.

Some of the veggies I got for healthy eating this week.
LOVE the colors!!

9/19/15 Beach Volleyball in Seaside Heights, Weasel!

When I was leaving the Ocean City house this morning
I had to be a rebel….of course I bypassed the sign
& had to see where I was not admitted…..

Early morning view of Ocean City from the
top deck of the house.

It was SUPER FOGGY!

it’s pretty cool how Ocean City paints all their power boxes.
I think every city should do this.

in Seaside Heights, NJ

A Piano on the boardwalk. Pretty cool!

Volleyball that my partner decorated

Pre volleyball photo.

JoAnna, Helen, Jassmine, Mandy

I played with Mandy this week & didn’t make playoffs
but we had a great day playing.

friends JoAnna & Jassmine WON 1st Place

Good job girls!

Weasel hunting frogs

Weasel getting a better look at the frogs

instead of going out for dinner, like we usually do
on tournament days, we ordered in Japanese food.
YUM!
