June is bustin' out....

Good news is Margie's surgery went well and she is okay. We got to see her briefly while we were down in Myrtle Beach for Tom's dental visit.

Sad news is Dolly's husband passed away (the funeral service is tomorrow). Marion's sister, Virginia, also passed away recently.

I won two door prizes in isolated events in May....feeling lucky!
Senior Expo 2017
RSVP Volunteer Recognition 2017


Friday is the Contact 45th Anniversary Barbecue event and I am in charge of both photos and line dancing. (It's also the Strawberry Festival and our last chance to get xtu concert tickets at Pros from Razz if any are left over.)

Monday we leave for the CMA Music Fest (what a shock it was to learn that the Nashville hotel where we had reservations was closed! OMG! )We scrambled and acquired new (more expensive, of course) digs and are all set.  (I put all my pick options on Keith Urban. I hope we get him! :-)

Geico insurance has gone up every six months since we started with them in June 2014. Time to investigate a move....but not until after this trip, eh?

Visiting friends

We just switched over to Shorecrest for the week-end (and thunderstorms on tap for tomorrow).
We hooked up with the Brewins for dinner last night. Yum yum
Crepe Creation Cafe  in Market Common was awesome. Larry, the owner, was great.



We each had something different and loved our choices. I had chicken florentine crepe, Tom had a taco crepe, Jo-Anne had souvlaki and Doug had a roast beef panini. The Reese's crepe dessert was incredible!

We also had a chance to visit Margie and Mike and Pat and all in Conway between checking out and dentist appointment (waited over two hours for a four minute adjustment. Oy. But our room was so ready by the time we got to the resort). No one wanted their picture taken, but look at this wall, Margie designed....OMG!


I hope it works out that we see them again (Mother's Day at Olive Gardent) before we head home. :-)

Meanwhile, I hope Joanne K. and Ida have been enjoying happy birthdays.

Here I am!

I must have been among the missing. Last post over a month ago? Oops.

Well, Garth was great, Tom's surgery was cancelled (postponed?) due to the discovery that he is diabetic now. (Poor Tom...what next? Oh, yeah. Cold sore recurrence...)

The good news is we are in Myrtle Beach (and it is warmer than NJ where everyone outside in facebook photos is wearing heavy jackets, hats, and scarves) and it is going to be in the low 80's in a few days.






We saw Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 yesterday and loved it. Way too much violence for me, but adorable Baby Groot, funny lines, good music, love surprises, and a mostly followable plot outweighed all the onscreen killing.

Tax season is over (and I took my first 2017 continuing ed class last night).

I am looking forward to setting a date for the next classmates reunion-ish lunch. It's been too long.

Sue and family are coming home from France/Switzerland today. I saw Gina say she had lunch with Jackson and his girl today in Washington (I didn't realize they were in visiting regularly distance. Nice.) I still have my card for Jenn's grandchild to send...and Zoe's, too.
