Thursday March 5th 2015

This is what MARCH MADNESS is
here on the East Coast.

Mother Nature has been CRAZY!
She must be off her meds!

we got about 10 inches of snow.
It sure is pretty!

Chester enjoying the snow

Back from our streak.
We got out early before more snow came.
We got about an inch a minute & temperatures
kept dropping

We got A LOT of SNOW!

it’s a Carolina Wren in the Blue Bird box
(not a nuthatch which I previously thought it was)

Thanks to SUE for pointing that out.

Cardinal at my feeder

friend DON got this picture of a Cardinal
visiting his feeders

Mourning Doves all puffed up waiting out the storm.

Wine for a Snowy Night.

Cabernet from Australia, has a eucalyptus bouquet.

Thursday is Friday Eve!

Tuesday 3/3/15 gym, Chester, Mural, pourhouse. SNOW

Tuesday 3/3/15

started the day at the gym!!!

neighbor Denise & I made the Bike Club Newsletter.
We are celebrities !!

friend Joyce stopped over with her granddaughter.
She had a photo opp with Chester!

I needed to Pick UP wine at a liquor store.
A customer never picked it up for some reason.
Deliveries/pick ups are part of my job!

Bicycle mural on a wall in Center City.
It was a SNOWY night. a normal 40-60 minute
commute took me over 2 hours tonight.

Chester learned how to lay on this bed right.
He usually hangs off.

Michael wanted to go to the Pour House.
It was EMPTY. I’m sure they were glad we came in.

SNOWY drive home!

There are many more plans
if the first one doesn’t work out.

Everyone needs this key on their keyboard!

No matter how good or bad your life is,
wake up each morning
and be thankful that you still have one.

it was a cold & ICY day.
Chester & I were saving our walk for later.

had a couple nuthatches in my blue bird feeder.
they were fueling up on mealworms

my friend Renee’s company has
Fundamentals they follow.

I thought I would borrow some of them
until I create my own Fundamentals for my
customers.

worked on this today.
March Wine Madness Bracket for a Lobby Tasting
I am hosting next week…Friday the 13th!

3 white wines going against 3 reds

It’s attached to the email if you want
to see the line up

Chester sleeping on Weasel’s bed.
He needs lessons to learn how to
sleep on it properly.

Weasel IV (8 weeks old)

an early anniversary present from sister Pat.
WE will be married 16 years next week.
Wow. When did that happen……??

We have a toaster oven but it’s not very
good at toasting bread. This one works great.

friend Kelli who lives in Amsterdam…
HAPPY to get snail mail from me.
All the way from the United States!

Chester & I out on our streak.
We didn’t get to go this morning & I didn’t feel
like going tonight….but we did anyway.

We have Palm Tree in front of our house!!
Love this.

LUCKY ELEPHANT I gave to friend Lynne.
She likes elephants!

the best things come to those who
Don’t Give Up!

*********************************************
For the past 33 years I have looked in the mirror
every morning and asked myself

“If today were the last day of my life,
would I want to do what I am about to do today?”

And whenever the answer has been “No”
too many days in a row,
I know I need to change something.

3/1/15 March, penguin walk, Ocean City NJ, brother Gerald, Manco & Manco pizza

3/1/15

welcome March 2015
make it a GREAT month!!

Found some ice so I ……
“Walked like a Penguin”

Chester sitting like a penguin??

in any case….. we are STILL streaking!
we haven’t been deterred (yet)

trip to Ocean City, NJ to visit our brother Gerald.
He was recently diagnosed with cancer & we
wanted to visit before he started treatments.

brothers & sisters

(missing brothers Raymond & Michael)

SNOW on the boardwalk

There’s something cool about being
at the Seashore in the winter

Snow on the beach!

Of course we had to eat at Manco & Manco.
I forgot to get a picture of the pizza,
we LOVE their pizza, it’s the only place
we will eat when we are at the shore.

On the way home we saw a BUNCH of accidents.
People were just driving WAY too fast for the conditions.
Usually it’s about a 2 hour drive home from
the shore. Today it took 3 hours.

Raymond’s underwater scene table
on display at the Flower Show.
Not the greatest photo but totally cool!

I’ll see if I can get better photos of the display.
