Where in the World is HELEN?
if you have a GUESS – let ME know…..
and no cheating —-
GUESS before looking at the next Picture of the Day
It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it.
If you think about that, you’ll do things differently. Thursday 4/29/10
interesting day…
I NEVER “take lunch” but I did today.
My friend Joslyn met me & we had some interesting topics to discuss.
Got some interesting proposals regarding representing vineyards via Social Media.
Joslyn is an expert in this area…. anyone need her help??
email her: joslyn@thevirtualresource.com

Vic-sushi bar is TINY, really, seriously, trust me.
they can seat maybe 8 people?
|
 |
|
sushi chefs hard at work
|
 |
|
mmmmmm – salmon & tuna —
|
for those who DO LIKE SUSHI – you MUST try this place.
It is now my FAVORITE sushi place in center city philly
 |
|
spicy tuna tartare – this was PHENOMENAL
|
 |
we ordered a couple special rolls – a crazy roll & a long island roll —
both were phenomenal…we are definitely visiting here again.
sooner than later, i hope.
——————————————————————————–
I was figuring on some biking photos for you too –
as per our “usual” Thursday bike club ride” –
but instead I was in a PANIC fixing my iPhone – that broke
right before my pending trip (to see the Wizard).
Stay tuned for more adventures with Helcha!
=========================================================
I sometimes wish I had a road map for living.
If only someone would occasionally show me a way to go,
a direction to take, it seems things could be easier.
Have you ever thought like that?

If you had a friend who spoke to you
in the same way that you sometimes
speak to yourself…….
HOW LONG would you allow that person
to be your friend???

Ninja Deer
Or maybe Jesus deer. Either way, nice work, dear.

HAPPY SHOES
— when I got on the train today
I said to the lady next to me – I like your green sneakers –
and she said “they are my Happy Shoes,
I put them on for my ride home”
—————————————————
Going out of town this weekend
& decided to SHOP for some new clothes
– which i pretty much despise.
 |
|
Got NOTHING here — I really tried having
an open mind but found nada
|
 |
SCORE! I never even heard of this place til
someone mentioned it on Facebook & it happened
to be in the shopping center where i was.
I got pants & some tops. Black & White – of course!
 |
|
I had to RUSH from the store to the tailor shop
b/c the pants needed some alterations.
Got there in the nick of time!!

==============================================
Michael wanted to go to Iron Abbey for dinner.

They had a Beer made by STONE on draft.

Monday 4/26/10
I was working a Wine Event after my “real job”
so in the morning I drove to the FOX CHASE train station b/c it would
be closer to the Wine Event & easier to get to than
from my “regular train station”
|
WHY so early??
I went to the gym for Sports Circuit training class before work
 |
Knowlton Mansion – where tonight’s event was being held.

Sunday 4/25/10
Michael wanted to go out for breakfast
& we can never decide where to – i guess we don’t
have a “go to” place for breakfast.
|
RED LION DINER
~ I asked Facebook friends & RED LION was suggested so that’s where we went.
http://www.yelp.com/biz/red-lion-diner-horsham (it’s about 15 minutes from Ivyand)
I hope you are not terribly disappointed – were you possibly expecting to
see a picture of a Red Lion that I drew & colored?
 |
|
I was in the mood for a WAFFLE which is something
I generally DO NOT make at home –
despite owning a Waffle Maker.
Maybe I’ll soon be giving that away?

(i’m sort of in the picture too – if you look real hard!)
We saw the show FAT PIG.
http://www.theatrehorizon.org/web2.0/shows/fatpig.html
We both enjoyed the play but wish it ended differently.
Synopsis
Boy meets girl. Boy and Girl fall in love.
Boy is handsome and charming.
Girl is sweet and intelligent — and twice his size.
Oh yea — another BONUS — tickets were HALF PRICE!!
