Once Upon a Time

I caught the lst half hour of this new series. Looks interesting. Tom assures me I'll be able to watch the first half hour in a catch up kind of way soon. Ah...the wonders of modern technology!

So today's highlights were documenting the TPAF meeting on my newly revised formerly "DEA Companion" website: http://deawebber.wordpress.com  , eating at our favorite place, and dancing at Prospectors. Jeff tried to console me by letting me know they were even sicker today than yesterday, so it was good they didn't come. But ....we will get them here one of these days........

Tomorrow is gym, Eastampton book club, dentist appointment and Contact. I am looking forward to the President's Dinner Wed. night (but I have no poodle skirt......hmm.....if I find something good it could double for Halloween! :-)

I have a feeling Sue is a little shell shocked from website work for the time being, but I hope she likes the webs one I started for her! http://susanmay.webs.com

Some changes in the plan....

I found out on the way home from the TP&AF meeting that Jeff and family aren't coming after all. We are so sad and disappointed. Hopefully when everyone is feeling better they will give it another try.

Sue and I have totally given up on flavors as a viable website. I made her one on webs.com but although I had fun setting it up and gathering some old photos for it, I found it to be almost as frustrating as flavor. I suppose word press will be the next venue, but ick...that is so complicated and frustrating at times, too. Why can't they all be as easy and fun as my homestead.com (now turned Intuit)? Free vs paid. Maybe. But I can't imagine the same troubles not haunting us for flavor and webs even on the paid versions.....They are just so not WYSIWYG and/or user friendly. I'm talking HOURS! wasted here. Ew ew ew.

On a consoling note, I guess we'll be dancing tonight. Tony and Wanted will be fun at Prospectors. (Dina didn't make it on Thursday, by the way. Another time for her, too, will have to be planned one of these days...) [I hope Jill and Mike have had a wonderful time in London and a safe journey home tomorrow].

What's Up

We're looking forward to seeing Jeff and the fam this week-end!
Jeff discovered the flavors site and Sue and I have been painfully working our way through trial and error discovery of how best to use it.

On tap for today: a morning HR Block tax class (Advanced Education Benefits) and an evening HR Block class focusing on the NJ state tax return. Then, hopefully, Dina will be joining us at Prospectors!

And the week-end winds down....

Tom played golf and I went to the gym for our big physical activities today.

Yesterday I had big big fun at the NJEA Communication Tolls Workshop (see my newly revised BCEA website).  Also, we hooked up with the Brunch group at The Pub which brought back some fond old memories but we didn't realize what a difference in price these years have caused! Good food, good friends, good time.

Dance update: we were at Prospectors Wed. and Thurs. but never quite made it out for Friday and Saturday was the sold out Joe Nichols concert.

I've been trying to check out free website hosting spots for Sue. Still working on it.

We're so looking forward to the Kayes coming to visit next week-end. Whoohoo!

Tornado on Carolina Beach

I am getting ready to head out to the long awaited NJEA Communication Tool Workshop. Meanwhile, along with the video of a tornado that crossed a VA highway on Thursday, Oct. 13th  I found this video of a terrifying phenomenon on Joanne and Allen's Carolina Beach.

Week-end

I'm still recuperating from the Arkansas trip....or maybe just sleep deprivation in general.....We had so many choices of what to do tonight we ended up just staying in. Last night at Prospectors was fun and today we ate at our favorite restaurant for dinner. Tomorrow's Sugarfootin' is cancelled because of a private party (how disappointing!), but we have plenty to do to keep us busy!

Our plans for more gym and healthier eating are moving from the planning stages to action very soon. :-) No, really.

Home from Arkansas

The weather in Arkansas was amazing...hot, sunny, and beautiful.
We really enjoyed the resort time we had.

  

  When it came time to move from the resort to the Reunion Hotel, we were overwhelmed by the amount of "stuff" we had to pack into the car. It was stuffed!

   The whole reunion scene was fun and I met so many of Tom's classmates! I took tons of photos and they seemed to appreciate it. I made them a website to share photos of the event: Hot Springs High School Class of 66 on shutterfly.

    Sunday after we checked out of there we headed to Stepanie's for Kaelin's birthday party and got to see her family and friends as well as Miriam and Jessica and Matt. I put all of those photos up at Kaelins Party Pictures .

     We left about four ish with Nashville as our goal, but fell a bit short and ended up crashing around midnight at a little motel called the Scottish Inn. Our room was quite a-typical. We were flabbergasted, to say the least!

  The bed was just the first clue!
We tried out the disco ball/light. Too bad we didn't realize the blacklight was there, too!

We headed out Monday morning and stopped in Nashville to visit Nashville Cowboy for some boot dealings (and had to get ice cream and fudge at Diane's!)

It was a lo..o..o...ng ride home, but we finally pulled in about five a.m.
