Delaware Issues Common Cents

I already confessed that it was not common cents at all to rescue MaraBella, who has already cost me a small fortune. 
 
She is dropping short needle like black hair at a rate more alarming then my own shedding of long grey strands.
 
 
This little tool cost around $35.00 and I use it everyday after our morning walk.  Must be helping some because I get a few full comb loads before I quit.  Don't think I did not question the price...the store clerk's answer:  it will last a life time.  Not to mention it is called a FURminator.  For those who know me, you cant possibly miss the joke!

Delaware Views Hues of Red

I find this hysterical.  Trenton will be putting on a Pork Roll Festival in May and I think I just might have to go.
 

Turns out with the upcoming event an old controversy has sparked a new flame.  I am hoping I might be able to end it right here, right now. There are two brands of PORK ROLL, Cases and Taylor and although people may refer to it as TAYLOR HAM...it is still pork roll and so it says on the RED package when you buy it.

Sunday Funday

This winter definitely had a negative effect on my psyche
and the Honeysuckle.
Now Spring is here with rain, rain, rain. 
The weather report indicates mid week will be pleasant.
I CANT WAIT!
 This particular variety of Honeysuckle is native to PA.
I sure hope it recovers from it's winter damage and blooms prolifically so I get a few more chances
at FUNDAYS shooting the Hummers.

Foodie Friday: Delaware Chews at the Washington Crossing Inn

Soon we will be able to sit at the outside bar at the Washington Crossing Inn.  Until then we will continue to enjoy the inside.  I went there with my dinner order already on my mind.  The Washington Crossing Salad with Scallops.  Happy hour prices are half off the tavern menu.  For some reason I think they might have placed one less scallop on the plate too.  I might have to run a personal experiment and order this salad off the happy hour menu to find out. 

 
Meanwhile...I maintained common cents and stuck to my one water per cocktail strategy.

Delaware Reviews

No major news so how about a REVIEW. 
in Doylestown is a membership owned movie theater. 
 
 
 
You don't have to be a member to go. So we went to see the GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL.
Great entertainment for a ridiculously cold spring day.  The acting was very good and there were many familiar star faces in short and surprising roles.  The filming was unusual in that the backgrounds appeared created and intentionally silly.  In fact it was a silly movie so good to giggle.  Yet there was some poignancy to it as well.  Go if you enjoy old fashion slapstick comedy.
We followed up with a late lunch at the Chambers 19.  Maybe a review of that restaurant is in the future...but not this Friday.
