Fun Week-end!


I am getting ready to head out to Prospectors for Sugarfootin' Sunday. Yesterday at Margie's was big, big fun! It was great to see everyone that could make it to the annual bash!

Catching Up


Hmm....well, Keith Anderson was great with his show at Prospectors last week. We loved him.

This week I had H&R Block classes every day at least once. The ones in Lumberton hven't been very full, but the Rents and Royalties class was packed! I guess a lot of tax preparers have rental properties....or so it would seem.

We danced Wed and Thursday and are looking forward to Margie's party today. Tom had 14 strikes in a row in bowling the other night...too bad they weren't all in the same game!

I worked with Kathy to get the Sigma article in for the DKG state newsletter, picked up photos at the BCEA Office to upload on the website, and updated the website.

Friday I made a new friend while I was working at Contact. She may come to dance on Sunday for Sugarfootin'. I'm going to try working an overnight there soon...should be interesting....

I need instructions in Tweeter 101. How do people follow hundreds of people's tweets? And why? I don't get it. Now Facebook....that I like! :-)

I my become more of a TV watcher. We saw the premier of "Flash Forward" and found it intriguing. We watched the first two new "Fringe"s. Love the show, but it is getting a little weirder. (Isn't that an oxymoron?LOL) I have no idea when "24" is coming back, but we are loking forward to that as well.

Oh. The water people came by to make the meter capable of being read by radio waves or something....and my electric bill for the last month was over $500. I was horrified and called them. Someone is going to come and check the accuracy of my meter sometime, but meanwhile, that may be how much our usage actually costs. :-(

Better Late Than Never Department...

Here's a collection of photos from our July/August vacation in Myrtle Beach. Doreen and George came to hang out in Week Two.

Lucky Day!

Whoo hoo! After class last night I met up with Tom at Prospectors for some dancing fun and guess who won tickets to the Keith Anderson concert at the club Saturday night? Tom! It was awesome. They just called the ticket number and Tom said, "That's me!" :-)

Things are still going strong with the old fifth grader contacts on Facebook. I even played matchmaker in hooking up two old buddies who haven't been in touch since 7th grade. (I found Keita for Shawn from Keita and his bride's Crate and Barrel guest registry! LOL)

I want to go to Vicki's art show tonight in Millville. Tomorrow I have two community/fun days! I'm heading for Delran's at ten, but have to be back to work Eastampton's by noon. I hope the weather cooperates for both!

I am now the owner of a "World's Best Tax Pro" cup. I am hoping to fulfill that claim!

Everything I Know I Learned in Fifth Grade

I started a Facebook group last year to try and get in contact and communication with all my former students, but it didn't get very far. Now, suddenly, with the posting of some old-time photos scanned from my album collection of yesteryear, the comments and interaction between former fith grade Delran classmates is flourishing. I am really happy to see how they all turned out!

We mailed Nathan's "left luggage" from their visit here and we can't wait to see the NY, formerly London, Kayes again soon.

I am happily not back for the 2009-10 school year, but hoping to continue touching base with those who are. Between the http://www.delran.myfamily.com site and the BCEA website I maintain, I am managing to keep abreast of current issues and activities.

We are looking forward to Mike and Margie's party on the 26th along with other happening September events!

I am taking a gazillion advanced tax courses and looking forward to working at H & R Block again this year.

Tom is back to bowling and working out at the gym and we are trying to be healthier eaters, too!
(Wish us luck!)

Jeff!

Jeff, Jackson, and Nathan are driving to Seaside for the day tomorrow and then coming to our house. How exciting and how wonderful to have them living in America now. The plan is for us to go with them back to Seaside on Wednesday. (This will be good practice for next Tuesday's Annual First Day of School Trip to Seaside!)

I have to get up early to go to Part Two of the Tax Issues class in Lawrenceville.

It's September and I guess my body must have known the season because my summer tan is starting to "fall" off. (Get it?)

I saw a lot of teachers commenting on Facebook about how sad they are that school is starting tomorrow and why do they have to go back so early.....I feel for them..........really...........

I'm thinking the boardwalk and all the stands are still open. I hope so, because the Londoners are really looking forward to it....
