Chester “helping” Michael work….

PetSmart has 15% off EVERYTHING this weekend.

Just ask the cashier for the Friends & Family discount.
We always stock up on the dogs food during this event.

Maine Coon Cat up for adoption!!
Do you or someone you know need a
Cute Kitty??? LMK!!!!

Maine Coon Cats are intelligent, trainable, described as “dog like”.

Please share, lets find this Kitty a home!!!

This is the Forecast for early next week….

**********************************************
Next time you have a conversation with someone why not end it
with, “Oh, one more thing.”

Then add any number of thoughts.

“I love you!”

“I think you’re great!”

“I believe in you!”

“I love your smile!”

“I always enjoy our conversations!”

Whatever fits that person.

Can you imagine how valuable that after thought would be?

12/3/14

Chester thirsty dog after our mile + walk/run.

We are still streaking……

Dead & beheaded bird I found on our sidewalk.
It was so weird. I don’t know what got it ??

This HAWK flew into a tree right outside our front window.
No doubt he was looking for a meal!

We were hoping he would catch a squirrel!
Before this year we didn’t have squirrels.
Now we have them!!!

Had an appointment at Bolete.
It’s a cool restaurant in Bethlehem.

http://www.boleterestaurant.com/

Bolete is a drop off/pick up location
for a local CSA.
(Community Supported Agriculture)

This is Joey. He is a local artist doing
a Chalkboard drawing on Bolete’s wall.

Successful tasting. She liked ALL the wines!

They just got fed so they were active.

TUESDAY 12/2/14 Blue Heron, STREAKING, good deed, Pour House, friend Joanne

12/2/14

not a great picture but you can see the
BLUE HERON standing on top our garage.
He’s been having breakfast at our pond.

Me & Chester after our mile “streak”….
we had quite the conversation on Facebook
about our cool Trash Can

this is another one of our Cool Trash Cans

Saw this deer behind the Firehouse in Ivyland.
He was just hanging out. Not sure where he
came from or where he was going!

a few months ago my car got hit in the parking lot.
The guy found me to tell me he hit my car.
He gave me money to fix the car but I didn’t use it all
so today I left a card with $100 for him at his work.

I’m sure he’ll be surprised!

PIG PARKER at the Pour House

Michael making friends with bartender Vince

friend Joanne came in after us for $5 Cheesesteaks!!!

Michael broke the rule & did NOT get a $5 Cheesesteak.
He had them make him a burger with crab mac n cheese.

It was interesting…….

Note & toy for Bartender Vince

November 30th 2014 Sunday new book, gym, Streaking, Chester, Friends meet :)

November 30th 2014

New book I just started reading.
It’s really good so far.

DON’T GO by Lisa Scottoline

we’ve been trying new foods with Chester.
So far he likes every one. yay.
This alleviates some feeding stress.
Now if Weasel wasn’t so finicky……

Chester likes this one too.

What do you feed your dogs??
Chester needs something lo-fat due to
his pancreatitis

good thing I got to class early to get a spot.
Class is super packed on Sundays.
And that girl in the black hogs up 4 spots
for friends & gets all pissy if she can’t have
the place she wants.

Chester dispensing dog kisses after our “streak”

we ran/walked a little over a mile today

Michael’s finishing touches on our decorations

MY friends Shannon & Rich FINALLY got to meet
one another after being friends only on Facebook
