Warm February

Taking Advantage of the Weather

Pennsylvania is having a weird winter. Days running from 20s to 50s and back. February 23 happened to be a great day, so Bonbon and I took advantage of it! We had a lot of fun. Check it out!.

Time for an Update

Hello, Lovely Followers!

We Appreciate Your Patience!

I think this is why people do not like change. One change causes many changes. Xyra's new job is going well. She is in the middle of training. Her first test went well and the new procedures are starting to take hold. A friend of hers mentioned, "You can't talk yourself out of habits you behaved yourself into" and if that isn't the truth! 

The hard part is it impacts us as well. when Xyra gets home she starts getting ready for the next day right away. No time or good light for photo shoots. And we have so much to share. I haven't told you about my trip to the Coffee and Tea Festival yet and that was in December! So many great photos. I have it on good authority that I may be posting about that later this week. By March 6 at the latest. And there was birthday tea in January and...

So we truly appreciate you hanging in there until a new routine is set and we can add in more posts. You can be sure of one other this week.

Best wishes,

Penel and the New Pup

A New Furry Silverleaf

Peni is Rescued

Oh, aren't you sweet!

You're coming home with me.

Fitting in With the Other Pups

Hi, Peni! Looks like Gigi is fitting.

Coco is leading the others. Doing a spot check.

Tris and Meatloaf helping, eh?

Tatlo was by earlier.
Good.

She's really cute. I'm glad she rescued you.

Gigi will be a great member of the family.

Gigi Review

So Gigi is Nanea's dog Mele.

She needs some grooming out of the box. I used a wire brush.

Has sewn eyes.

Adorable.

Like Bonbon only sitting position. No movable limbs.

Toodles! Have a great day!

Holiday Flashback with Lea

Who Loves Christmas?

I do! 

Who still has decorations up? We don't, but we know some people do leave their Christmas decorations up for a long time. It reminded me that I did not get to give you the tour of our church in December. So here we go!

Feel free to ask questions!

Tchau! Have a great day!

Sweet New Friends

The Sweetest Place on Earth

A Great Place to Meet Friends

Hi! Grace here. If you're a long time follower you know we are located in Southeastern Pennsylvania. We're not too far east of the sweetest place on Earth aka Hershey PA. Yesterday was way too cold to go to the park; it's closed anyway, but not too cold to meet friends at the outlets.

First Stop AGO

Of course, our first stop was the American Girl Outlet. That was the meet point. Very easy to pinpoint.
Hi, I'm Grace!
Paula In PA!

Nice to meet you! 
You too!
Let's have some fun!
Sure thing!

So we headed to the recording studio and mixed up some great sounds.

Then we headed to the store to pick up some snacks.
Shall we have spam sandwiches?

I hear they are great! But I think mango or papaya would be better.

And pineapple!

We split up to do a bit of shopping.
I love this outfit. What are your thoughts?

It's comfy. The buttons are easy to use. 
Your outfit is cute.

Thank you. I like it. I think the top would look good with jeans and the skirt pairs nicely with a blouse or tee shirt.
I can see that.

We met back up to compare notes.

Did you find anything you liked?
Oh, yes! Ms. Dorothy is checking out now.

(giggles) Xyra is too.

Then it was off to Starbucks!
I had tea and lemon cake. Paula had hot chocolate.

We lost track of time. Too soon it was time for all of us to head home. 

Local Stop

Nonna, Xyra and I made one more stop. We finally got to try the new Steep Fines Teas & Cafe in East Greenville.

We had a lovely talk with the owner. She's very nice.
So many great teas to choose. We went with a black lychee. Very tasty.

The corgi butt cookies are adorable!

Had a great afternoon despite the overcast, cold weather. Good friends bring warmth!

À bientôt!
