Amazing dance routine

This is the dance routine someone shared on facebook I don't want to lose by The Company  (I went to the original source...sorry about the seconds of ad first!)

Okay, so while I'm here....most recently we had dinner with The Brunch Group at Vincentown Diner, which is very different (upscaled-wise) from the last time I ate there many years ago. We also went to the comfy seating Marlton AMC theater and saw Lucy earlier in the day. It was ....different....

The summer is flying by....next week is August already. Oy.

We had a lot of fun at this year's Jamboree in the Hills  and looking forward to vacationing in Myrtle Beach.

Who's coming with me on the First DAy of School Trip to Seaside???

Apes don't kill apes.....

We got up at the crack of dawn this morning to hit the ever so comfy recliner seats at the Marlton AMC theater and enjoy "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes".  I had low expectations, so I was pleasantly surprised.

My favorite part was that they carefully included easily identifiable characteristics for the main apes characters so I could usually tell who was who as the plot unfolded.

(All hail Caesar!)

Happy Anniversary!

Yesterday was our 15th wedding anniversary! Hared to believe it's been so long. It seems like yesterday.
We went dancing at Prospectors and everyone there sang to us. It was very sweet (and so is my wonderful husband Tom!)

If it's our anniversary, it must be time for the annual honeymoon to Ohio for the Jamboree in the Hills. Yes!

I think I"ll make it a project to organize photo collections from all the years at JITH and put them in one place.




Oh, guess what? Our new phones have a health feature that includes tracking 10,000 steps a day, so I'll be joining sisters Sue and Jennifer in participating in that. I started yesterday and it turns out there are a lot of steps in country dancing (like I didn't know that!) I walked in at about 3000 and danced out with over 12,000 steps taken! :-)

Waiter, what's that fly doing in my soup?

Spoiler alert! This is really gross.

Okay, I was drinking coffee and felt a lump, so I pulled it out of my mouth...and it was a fly! OMG!
I told Tom and he was really sad for me. (Quick back story...we have had a number of flies hanging out in the house and he has been spraying them like crazy...so chances are this one did a death dive).

I was sooo grossed out. Tom hopped up to get me a new coffee (get back on the horse, as it were...) and I suddenly saw movement on the plate where I had deposited the "lump". The fly was alive. OMG!!!!

I lived. That's the important thing.

Smart Phones are Us

It's July and the livin' is easy....

Our latest acquisitions have been a new ipod for Tom and two Samsung Galaxy 5S's.

We are still exploring the whole world of smart phones and apps and all the things available to us [insert background music: A Whole New World]. I am such a novice...the learning curve is huge!

We celebrated Independence Day with grilled turkey burgers,  a movie (Edge of Tomorrow) and dancing at Prospectors. Guess who wrote the screenplay for the movie? Chris McQuarrie! (I met him when he was working as a guard at the NJEA Summer Leadership Workshop years ago, before he won the Oscar for his screenplay of "The Usual Suspects"). And now I would like to get back in touch with former NJEA staff friends Allan and Kathy McQuarrie.

That's my fourth movie (or so) this summer. :-)
I am happy! (Except for recent actions by our current governor that is negatively affecting NJ's financial stability).
