Sue's photos

Sue sent me two pix from Christmas on her new photobucket account and now I am pleased to see there are eight! Here's her album URL for future reference and viewing pleasure! http://s249.photobucket.com/albums/gg202/susanmay57/?albumview=slideshow

On Wednesday Tom and I had so much fun! We went to Margie and Mike's and played poker for HOURS! It was big big fun! Patti and Don and Pat were there too, and lots of great snacks! (Seee white chococlate with pretzels and peppermint! Yum, yum!)

A Site is Born

I see I am a bit behind in blogging...Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and Tom and I had big big fun at Gina's with Ann and Dina and Mike and all.

I have new glasses, and I made a new website for BCEA so life could be easier for me in working on it and keeping it updated. At the moment there are two, but hopefully, the new one will get the original BCEA domain name back and it will be an easy transition.
old one-bceanjea.org
new one-bceanjea2.org

Our friend Ganine is still among the missing. Lisa texted us a Merry Christmas, so she is still in contact if not out dancing....

NYC with Marc on the 12th is going to be fun; turning in our crowns at Prospectors New Year's Eve will be sad (but we had a great year's reign!)

It is so close to next year! Wow they go fast now, don't they?

Awesome presentation of White Christmas

In case you haven't seen this, may I present a GREAT rendition of Irving Berlin's White Christmas. http://gpsinformation.info/main/merryxmas.swf

The cartoon was created by Joshua Held in 2002, recording was made by Clyde McPhatter and the Drifters in 1954 (Bill Pinkney sings the bass lead) (Atlantic Records, 1954) and the song was written in 1942.

Meanwhile, it's Christmas Eve Day! Hope you have a good one!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like.....

Guess who is the new replacement BCEA webmaster? Um hmmm....yep, 'tis I. Actually, I had some fun updating the site....too bad it is so user unfriendly though. So frustrating! If you want to see it, it's clickable as www.bceanjea.org

I see I haven't blogged in awhile. Well, that could mean I am too busy having fun or just I refuse to be tied down to a daily routine.... I'll let you wonder about that....

It is hard to believe that today is Christmas Eve Day. In a week it will be next year!!
I am getting used to the 2000's now. I no longer feel like I'm living in the future.

Jill is in Florida, but Dina and Mike are coming here Tuesday so we can all drive together to Gina's. I guess it's time to start shopping...........

It's elf time again!

Remember that really cute office max gimmick where you can "elf yourself" from last year? Well, it's back! Click here --> ROBERTA THE ELF to see mine. And then make one of you and send it to me as a comment on this post. Sound like fun?

Tom got us tickets for Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood in Atlantic City on February 15th. Whoo hoo! Love them!

Dancing at Prospectors was fun last night (after we couldn't go Thursday because it was closed for a private party!!!) but we miss Ganine and Lisa....where are they???

Great new site launched!

My friend Tiffany's brother Ford just launched a really cool website with his friend. They have been working on it for a year and a half at least. I just joined, but I can't wait to check out all the members and their videos. (He has over 2500 already and 12 joined after I did within five minutes, so you know it's growing fast!) It's http://www.wonderhowto.com and I wish them the best of luck with it!


Meanwhile, we are back in NJ, of course and it was cold and wet as expected.
We had a nice visit with Jill, Mike, Dina, Ann, Ted and the crowd at Jill's lovely and delicious Chanukah brunch.

I was happy to catch up with my DIS and BCEA friends at the BCEA Holiday Social.

I don't want to go home!

We are on the screened in porch outside our Fountains resort. It is so beautiful here. The forecast is 85 and sunny and we sure wish we were going to be here for it! As it is, we have the car all packed up and are ready to make the drive to Tampa International for our flight back (hmm...was this the $8.00 leg? :-)



So to get it together before I forget what we did on this awesome vacation (and we are so coming back!)....on the Disney day we park hopped with Harry and Wilma, hitting really good attractions at Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and MGM. (Well, MGM was a little hurried....but we did get the big light show and the movie ride).


We did poolside relaxing, sunning, swimming and hot tubbing. On the opposite side of the spectrum, we did the show ICE at Gaylord Palms. 9 degrees was sort of home-like! The ice sculptures were just amazing, and I went down the slide five times! We sort of lost each other for awhile gnome hunting, but we enjoyed exploring the gorgeous hotel!

Best dinners category included: Black Angus, Cape May Beach Buffet, and Boston Lobster Feast. The Rain Forest Cafe lunch at Downtown Disney was the best for lunch.

So now it's time to return to cold, snowy NJ. Harry and Wilma have the right idea. They left to go home to....Florida! :-)

M-I-C....K-E-Y....

Tomorrow is the big Disney World Day for us.
We are going to be park hopping and are looking forward to big big fun.
So far we have been having a lot of fun with Harry and Wilma, much of which involved food! We also had the chance to hang out at the pool enjoying the warm sun Monday and the somewhat cooler sun Tuesday. We hooked up with our mutual dancing friend Judy on the Disney Boardwalk for lunch and ate at the Rain Forest. We had a delicious dinner with the Kaelins at the Cape May Beach Buffet. (The chef there was honored at the NJEA Convention as a successful NJ public school graduate...I had the article with me, but I forgot to ask for him! :-(
There are photos in the offing.
This place (The Fountains) is so awesome!

Watch out, Mickey...here we come!

Tom and I are currently en route to The Fountains, our Bluegreen resort spot in Orlando. The change from 28 degrees and snow in NJ this morning to landing in sunny 80 degree Tampa was a very pleasant one!

Wilma and Harry are coming up to hang with us tomorrow and Tues and Wed we may be doing Disney. It's hard to believe I haven't been here in so long. (I think Gina was 21...!)

We have a nice car and golf clubs and a list of country dance places to check out. No beach, but that's okay....pool spa lake sauna hot tub...that's enough water for now!

Just passing Sea World....see ya!
