Help! My check engine light is on and I can't get up...

I guess i am getting up early tomorrow and taking my car for a little oil change/check up. Wish me luck!

I had fun yesterday helping the Eastampton PTA hand out their fundraising orders (and the peanut better cookie dough was delicious!)

Tonight at Prospectors we learned -or tried to- a challenging new dance. Ganine and Patti were there for the fun too.

I am meeting Roxanne at Innova at three, kazoos in hand.

Bad news, good news

Well, the bad news was...when it was time to drive to the DKG meeting Monday night, something was terribly wrong with my car so I had to call a taxi to take me to Moorestown!
Everything else is good news, thank goodness!
*Jean Kutteroff was an honored Woman of Distinction at the meeting. What a great surprise to see her and get back in touch
*Lisa and Ganine are officially part of the Prospectors cruise crowd now
*We had a wonderful time on Thanksgiving with Ann and the outlaws
*Samantha and Ross are coming East so we will get to meet him at long last around Passover/Easter time
*We're going to have a week-end in NYC with Doreen and George on Tom's birthday
*We leave for FL next week!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are going to Ann's to be with our favorite outlaws for the holiday. Meanwhile, Tom made turkey, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, cranberry, pies...the whole works....before he left for bowling last night. It was quite a feast!
I went to Monday night kick boxing exercise class. That is so much fun!
We have been watching the old episodes of the TV series "24". First Tom rented the whole second year. Now we have the whole first year. It is so much fun not having to wait til the next week to follow up on each cliff hanger ending! We have decided that nuclear bomb threat stories are more interesting than planned assassinations....

Family site revitalized?

I was so happy to see that Jenn posted the Samantha/Ross wedding photos on the www.kayefamily.myfamily.com website First of all the pictures are beautiful! What a wonderful wedding I see it was! Secondly, I am hoping when everyone goes on the site to see the photos, they will realize the potential of such a great family website and start utilizing it!

Meanwhile, no one else from the family has gone on yet.

I am off to dance with the children and their families at Prospectors for Sugarfootin' Sunday.

Remind me to write to Marge Gessmann and see if she and Warren know anything about the new County Supt. that replaced our wonderful Walt Keiss. He is from Monmouth County....hmmm....
I am wondering how the Convention was too.

NJEA Convention

Well, the big story on the NJEA Convention is I'm not there. I was actually thinking of going but there wasn't a BCEA bus this year and although the train sounded easy enough, I have never done it, so that was discouraging, and then I started thinking...why would I need to be there anyway? It is so wonderful for educators but the working ones, not the retired ones! So I hope everyone has a great time and learns a lot. Can't wait to hear all about it and see the photos on the website!

My big activity of the week (other than the dancing and kick boxing) was working for the Election Board again...this time in Westampton. It was a fun group and we managed to fill our fourteen work hours with lively activity. We had almost 500 voters which was a lot better than the 12 we had in Lumberton for the primary! I read Kite Runner, which was really really good and I highly recommend it. I saw so many people I knew--including Sandy (BCEA office manager) en route to the airport, heading for FL, and Mike, Kathryn's old student teacher, Milt Hirshberger, from ABCO days of yore, assorted former colleagues and kids' parents...quite an array!

Samantha got married on Sunday and I can't wait to see the photos and hear all about it! I sure wish we could have been there. I'll bet she was the most beautiful bride ever...and the flower girl must have been adorable too!

We are trying to plan some trip details. My head hurts. But an ironic thing is in the course of discussion, Wilma and I realized that of all the gazillion cruises in the world her red hat ladies' cruise and my dancing Prospectors people cruise are one and the same!

Ok...time to meet Tom for dancing.

But first, thanks to Karen for being the first person ever to comment on my blog! Thank you!!!
