Quiet Ivyland night…

author Henry James said:
“Three things in human life are important:
The first is to be kind.
The second is to be kind.
And the third is to be kind.”

What if today you gave yourself permission to be outrageously kind?
What if you extended as much good will and kindness as you can possibly muster
to every person you meet?
And what if you did it
with no thought of reward?
I’m sure of one thing:
it will be a day you will never regret.

November 1st 2014 lunch with Billy, “PIGS”, Sandy the dog!

November 1st 2014
Michael was helping friend Billy with TV logistics.
Billy is getting a new TV for the family room &
needed to understand TV size info & installation.

then we went for lunch & had BOARDWALK PIE
from Maple Glenn Pizza. tasty!

friends Roman & Denise joined us.

Is that lady in the far end of the picture
being a Bench Pig?? Like a Pig Parker?
Hogging up a bench meant for 6?

Buying an Exercise ball at Sports Authority

When we were at Billy’s house
Michael was trying out Billy’s office “chair”:
A stability ball.

Michael thought he would give it a try.

Do you use one, or know someone who does?

This guy was a Pig Line Shopper….
He had WAY MORE than 12 items in the
12 or fewer line……

neighbor Denise sent me this line up of the Ciders we
tasted at her house on Friday night.
We all preferred the Sparkling Ciders.

Our new door mat. Cute, right??
Deb, I was going to get one for you but
I bought the last one (@STAPLES).

neighbor Deb’s dog Sandy came over to spend the
night with us while Deb drove home from Penn State.
We put Sandy right to work!

Celebrate EVERYTHING!
