8/10/14 Broadway on Butler at Act II Playhouse, From the Boot

8/10/14

Today we were in Ambler seeing a show
at Act II Playhouse.

It’s maybe 30 minutes from Ivyland.

We were expecting to know a bunch of the songs
but ended up not knowing too many?

Michael’s Mom Betty, sister Pat & cousin Rose Mary

Front Row seats for us!

They left the stage before I could get their picture

as you know, From the Boot is one of my accounts.
We thought it would be a good idea to patronize them.

the pasta fagioli soup was excellent!!!

we left a note for our server

Our serve Danielle was Swell
Francisco was cute as Hell
We enjoyed out time at From the Boot
& the complimentary dessert was a Hoot!

love, the table in the front window

neighbor Deb passed this along:
a sighting at the Seashore…..

WTH?

We were sitting on our front porch & watched these
kids chase down the ice cream man. It was cute.

Ice Cream Man!! Ice Cream Man!!! STOP!!

Just decide who you want to be!

8/8/14 herb garden, plants, pasta, car SOLD! San Fran Dogs

8/8/14

Growing my own Oregano! It’s Simple!

nothing yet……

Our retention pond is really pretty.
All kinds of colorful wildflowers & cattails too!

this is an interesting tree.
It is a red maple tree with a regular one
growing up inside it. Weird!

auto correct from my friend Marguerite.
Trying to tell her daughter “we were” in a dance party.
but end up as wee wee ….
and her daughter’s response was great:

“you peed on the dance floor??

GOOD FOR YOU! “

tasty pasta dish for dinner tonight…..

signature: carbo loading for volleyball
(Saturday Tournament)

no note for the server, I need Marguerite’s help!

friend Lanny SOLD his car!!

I was hoping one of my friends could take
advantage of the awesome deal but it got
sold to a stranger instead.

I’m not sure why there is a sign for this,

or why they’d need a sign.

A cemetery is the last place I’d go camping.

Hunting for ghosts maybe, but probably not.

cool dogs my friend saw in San Francisco!

Bridget’s in Ambler…… my new account 🙂

tasting wine at FROM THE BOOT in Ambler

and a tasting at Cantina Feliz…

I’m trying to do some recon on this place in Horsham.

Not sure if it is related to my Cantina Feliz.
Hope so!

Thursday Night Bike Ride…which I haven’t been on
in weeks because I’ve been working…..

Did my own ride because the group was doing 24 miles
& I had to be home at 7:30 for beer school guests!

friends Kelli & Lanny joined us tonight.
They are moving to Amsterdam next week.
We already miss them!!!

Beer School in full swing…

These were a BIG HIT

we were munching on them by the handfuls!

Thanks for bringing them Kelli & Lanny

stopped and saw my account at Shula’s Steakhouse.

It’s a fancy place. This is one of their private rooms.

I’m working!!!

Funny note I discovered about a clerk we used to
work with at the Philadelphia Stock Exchange.

I was in charge of writing down stuff then
we would go back & laugh about it later.

and after my loooong day,
opened a bottle of Rose’ wine from Macedonia.

Who knew???
It’s darn good too!

basket full of Vizslas just because they are cute.
Their fur is velvety soft & they have Puppy breath!
