Out in Chadds Ford, chillin’ at Starbucks while pal gets her hair done.  Found menu for Thai Pavillion in Natl Harbor in my suitcase… Great soup there.  Hope you find great gifts!

Off to Philly


Friday, November 4, 2011

8:03am Phil
I do not play. I sit at the piano and sing when I can. Always wanted to play guitar.  I have one and hope to learn some day. Listening to KD Lang sing Hallelujah.  Lifts my soul.  Such a pretty song by such a gifted artist.  Saw her this summer and she was amazing. Have a great day!

8:17am
I’m off to Philly today!  Do you read music?  I want to be kd lang when I grow up, minus the sleeping w/ women part. 😉  

10:27am Phil
I do not.  Not to play anything.  I read well enough to sing but that’s something else I would like to learn.  Hope the snow holds off for a bit anyway.  Getting progressively colder though.  About to get fire place fired up. Want it ready for Thanksgiving and pulling the Christmas stuff out too. Here we go. 

12:41pm
If you read music well enough to sing, piano should be easy to learn.  Might look for an iPad tutorial. Don’t know how you avoided piano lessons…. hated them!  But I loved playing the baby grand in the big dark church… seems like you sat there sometimes and sang w/ me.

3:06pm
Just crossed into NY!  Whee!

9:09pm
Made it to Philly! waiting for my pal to show up for a late supper. See my room!  Staying in a gorgeous B&B in a HUGE room right near Rittenhouse Square. Tres French decor. Luuv eet!

 Busy weekend for you?  Hope it’s a great one!

Pet birthdays


Year 2 – Week 12
Thursday, November 3
1:06 pm
Gorgeous day – made it to 60 degrees!  How was the event?  Hope your Thursday is going well. 

1:39pm Phil
Had a blast.  Late night but such a rewarding experience. Busy day today, gonna try to get out and see a movie tonight. May have tickets to see the Packers play the Bears at Lambeu Field. Would be awesome.  Gonna freeze my ass off but will be a blast.  Hope your day is good.  Starting to feel the chill here.  Brrrr

1:42pm
Glad it went well.  Let me know how the movie is… I am tempted but hard to tell if it’s good.  How are your pets doing?  Do they have birthdays you celebrate? 

1:48pm Phil
They do have birthdays but I don’t believe we celebrate.  Do spoil them a little at Christmas though. They are doing well.  The youngest is loving the cool weather. At night he sleeps on his back, relishing the cool air.  The other two hate this. They are warm weather animals.  You can always find them tucked in next to the radiator or a heat vent. Wusses. 

1:56pm
I get to have supper with my niece tonight!  Her mom is making pasta ala norcina. 

1:56pm Phil
cool!

1:59pm
Do you play the piano?
