10.5.14 Weasel, BIKING, Tapas on York, Come Home (book), EAGLES, HAWAII, dinner

10.5.14

Chilly morning. Weasel needed her coat today.

How to dress for a Brisk Bike Ride???

We biked to a new restaurant

Tapas on York has an open kitchen

http://www.tapasonyork.com/

We sat at the Communal Table

COME HOME a new book I started reading.
Has anyone read it??

Time for the EAGLES!! go birds.

I feel bad for the Eagles bc the fans are
notoriously ungrateful.

When they lose the fans say THEY SUCK
When they win, the fans say THEY SUCK

Who knows what it would take to make
the fans happy?

HAWAII!

Who would like to spend a few weeks in HAWAII for free
(airfare not included)
and see this view every day you wake up??

ASK ME HOW!!!!!

ingredients for my version of PESTO.

I will often change up the nuts & cheese
& just use what I have handy.
It always comes out DELICIOUS!

Want some???

neighbor Deb picking us up in her new car!

We wanted to try LA MORENA authentic Mexican
food in downtown Hatboro.

It was good but I don’t think it is better than
our Taco Suave which is closer to our house.

Chester enjoying sister Pat’s chair while she
is out of town. shhhhhh don’t tell her!

let sleeping dogs lie…….

10.4.14

the gym at 8 in the morning on a weekend.
Pretty quiet, except the Boot Camp we attended.

friend Mary & I made plans to do Boot Camp today.
I knew it was going to rain so we couldn’t bike.

We met at the Montgomeryville LA Fitness
because the awesome Kristin was teaching.

I was delivering flyers for our Covered Bridge Ride
& came across this cute Halloween decoration
on a neighbors porch. Adorable right?

This is what we did yesterday.
read the paper & relaxed (what’s that?)

Got my FIRST birthday card today.
woo hoo!!! Thanks Cate 06

ordered a horsehead,
friend Tim sent me the link to eBay.
There was a special price ($8) so I got one.
Just in time for Halloween!

Tonight we went to the movies at the Ambler Theater.
It’s an old theater. In more ways than one…..

We saw the movie THE TRIP TO ITALY

Two men, six meals in six different places on a road trip around Italy. Liguria, Tuscany, Rome, Amalfi and ending in Capri.

it was good, not great. I am glad we saw it.

Tuna, avocado, crab. delicious.

Chu Toro tuna. REALLY good.

Chūtoro (中とろ?) is the name for medium fatty tuna when served in sushi restaurant. It is quite expensive and usually served only on special occasions.

Dining out with Mary is always a special occasion….

On my way home I stopped at Buona Via in Horsham.
This is SAL the owner.

9/29/14 Lucky Day, dog diet, WORK, Covered Bridge Ride,

9/29/14

Can Anyone Identify the bred of this dog?

TODAY IS YOUR LUCKY DAY!!!!

Dog feeding time has become a little stressful.
Weasel really doesn’t want to eat anymore so we
are always trying to find some foods she will eat.
She can have anything we wants.

Chester has also become less interested in eating.
He is on a special diet so it is a little more
challenging feeding him.

I think when you work from home you work more.
Monday’s I usually get started around 8 a.m.
and finish about 7pm. It’s a loooong day.

NOW it’s time for Homework!

Raccoon that Michael brought home from the Seashore.
it comes with a story.

Templates for marking the roads for our
Covered Bridge Ride.

Why don’t YOU do our ride this year??

There is a ride for every level 02

Dog Obedience Class

that person we become when no one is watching…..
