New car!

I am the proud owner of a new (2011, 27,000 miles) Toyota Camry as of yesterday. Whoo hoo!























We bought it at Carsense and it was the easiest car-buying experience I ever had. :-)
I hope we drive in good health and for a long long time!

Speaking of good health, Tom is doing fine on all counts of recent health issues (cancer, knee-replacement) and will be dealing with the neck thing one of these days....

Oh, guess what? My doctors I've been going to for a million years won't give me the initial Welcome to Medicare visit. What's up with that? Do I have to switch doctor groups? :-(

I had lunch with Sandy and Conni last week and Gee Gee and Cathy Otto (!!) yesterday. I haven't seen Cathy since early high school. It was a great treat to hook up with them both while Cathy was in town (from CA) visiting.

Speaking about CA and visiting, today Tom and I are driving to Chevy Chase, MD (in our new car!) for a big family reunion of sorts as everyone (except Zoe, who is in FL...poor thing!) gathers for the event of Jackson's graduation (tomorrow). We are so looking forward to seeing the Kayes and Mays! (And congratulations to Cody, who just graduated from college!)

Here are some recent event photos:

Decisions, decisions....

A lot has been going on....I have like three things a day...between Tom's physical therapy and events for BCREA, CONTACT, DKG, RSVP, the Eastampton Rec Committee, XTU ticket runs, book club meetings, movies, lunches with Gee Gee and my DEAR friends...and, of course, dancing at Prospectors :-)

Ah, retirement!

We are looking forward to the CMA Music Fest, but are sad to be missing Hannah's wedding this week-end. Tom just isn't ready for the trip. Jackson is graduating from college and Mary Grace is graduating from high school. Samantha had another baby, too....lots of happy family events.

Next on the agenda is a new car for me. What to get, what to get? (And oh...do I hate spending money on it :-(    Well, we shall see what happens....

It's May!

Tom danced at Prospectors (2 weeks after knee replacement surgery! Not bad, eh?)

We saw Spiderman 2 at the really comfy seat-filled Marlton theater.

I am posting a link to the Jeff Memorial video I just found. I wrote to Bradley asking if I could have a copy and he referred my back to Nathan and Jackson and it turns out they had already posted one.

I am off to HRB for a bit.

Hope Zoe had a very happy birthday!
