Congratulations, Randi and Greg!

Saturday was a day of mixed feelings. We started out with the sad event of our neighbor's wife's funeral.

Just a few hours later, we were happy to be able to attend the wedding of our friends, Randi and Greg Parente.










They had their annual Pig Roast/luau party for the reception and a great time was had by all!

Great band~

"Zack Somebody" turned out to be a really great band. We loved them! We bought the Foundations CD and everybody signed it. (Turns out melissa from pogo lives near and knows them. Small world, eh?)

Good news! Teri is saying aloha in November and coming to play at Prospectors! How fun!

Tomorrow we have two functions: a funeral( for our neighbor) :-(
and a wedding/pig roast (for Randy and Greg) :-)

I am so so very glad not to have to be getting ready for/thinking about school! I hope we have good weather for the First Day of School Trip to Seaside (but if not, we'll go on the very next nice day to celebrate!)

OMG can you believe McCain's choice for Vice President???This is going to be a very interesting election, I must say....

Busy day

Wednesday was a really action packed day for us!
We went to the gym, then on to Prospectors for the James Otto concert, then golfing, then back to Prospectors for dancing and fun.

Now we are getting ready to go to Prospectors again. Zack somebody is having a little concert.

Guess what? I am going to take golf lessons take 2...this time at Springside. Maybe I'll get a little better this time...

Tom just bought his millionth bowling ball. :-)

I called S. Carolina to double check on that ticket. Sure enough....$185.... :-(

Can you spell "speedtrap"?

We had a great vacation in Myrtle Beach......but, unfortunately, the last lingering memory will be the speeding ticket we got en route to the Beach Wagon tonight (Saturday). This is not a good thing...........

Heading home very very soon.........

Beautiful weather in SC

Despite the scary news of the FL hurricane (now just rainy, stormy), the weather here in Myrtle Beach has been gorgeous and Tom and I have been having some great beach and pool days. In fact, I am headed down to the beach now....See ya!

Hurricane Fay headed our way??

As we begin week two of our Myrtle Beach vacation, there are news alerts about a hurricane headed to the FL keys. Hmmm.....
Meanwhile, we have been having fun in the sun and enjoying a warm ocean (so unlike the frigid waters of coastal NJ...) It's a little disappointing that none of the friends and relatives we invited to come vacation with us were able to, but maybe another time.....
The Beach Wagon sans manager Casey is not as country as much as it was, but we still had fun and especially since we bumped into some relocated Prospectors folks.
And on a very sad note.....Don.........

Hunka hunka Manyunk(a)

The Sunday brunch of the month took place at the Manyunk Brewery. It was a beautiful day for a walk around town and a delicious buffet spread. Next month is tentatively on Sept. 7th at a Marrakesh dinner.

Go, Greased LIghting!

Today I am going to a production of "Grease" featuring the Melvin kids and others. Film at eleven....

The trip to NYC was quite an adventure...sort of a Wonderland lunch and then the disappointment of not getting into the taping for the Millionaire show after all, but the guaranteed promise for the next time....(Can you spell "confirmed reservation"???)





A foggy beach time at Brigantine and some fun dancing at Prospectors upon our early return rounded out the midweek. (Sugarfootin' Sunday was fun, too!)

Let it be known that choosing the Long Term Health Care plan is way more complicated than one might expect.....

Rumor has it Crystal, Linda, and the grandchildren of Arkansas will be heading our way while we are in Myrtle Beach this month. Whoo hoo!

Upcoming activities prior to that SC trek include the brunch bunch in Manyunk, box making for DKG and newsletter folding for BCREA....
