Jennifer is coming!!!

 We are picking up Jennifer at the airport tonight and I can't wait to see her! (Patrick will be in NYC for dog sitting this week too....Sue opted not to come, hoping to avoid a second cancellation of Caitlin's shower)

Latest happenings (pre Jennifer) include:

Watching the entire six seasons (plus Movie #1 of) Downton Abbey (with a mid binge visit to see the new movie of it!)

Backyard upheaval including replacement of deck and patio and gas grill, removal of two trees, and refurbishing of  the "little house"

Tom having tested positive for Covid for almost three weeks (although feeling recovered from the cold like symptoms after three days!) and me always negative

Less dancing than usual due to both Covid positivity (see above) and caution due to upcoming trip to Nashville (first travel in over two years...and on an airplane yet!)

Tom enduring many visits to many doctors

North Jersey group trip for the NJREA 100th anniversary celeb (along with NJREA and BCREA spring luncheons)

Eastampton book club back at the Rec Center

and a rained out PTA color run (twice!)

Workout Wednesdays from Aetna

I heard about this program and did the first one. Now I did the endurance one today. This is really fun and it is disappointing to realize that I can't find it anywhere on the aetnanj website. Here is the page about it: Workout Wednesday If I don't put it somewhere I think I may never find it to share again....Or take advantage of the on demand aspect. Maybe Tom will be able to enjoy it too! :-)

It's May!

 The big news is Sue and Patrick came to visit! Whoo hoo! We were so happy to see them!
 

They didn't stay long, but we packed in some adventures, ate at Robins Nest, and watched Free Guy.

I found out there is a new tea place in Mt. Holly and I am going to an afternoon tea party with friends Louise and Dolly on Friday.

 

Yesterday was the 100th anniversary celebration for NJREA and we drove up to the event in Old Bridge in a hired van that Toni organized for us. 

 Sadly, I realized...too late...that one of my book clubs was last night. :-(   I have another chance to discuss a book tonight with a different group's zoom book club (I won't miss it because it is my zoom!).

On the financial front, the stock market is down and gas prices are still up, but good news...the new interest rate on I bonds is over 9 percent for the next 6 months and I have some! :-)

Upcoming this week is Zoe's birthday (today!), a doctor's appt, the aforementioned tea party, book club, dancing, and ...hopefully....new movies to attend. Oh, and continuation of deck, new doors, and patio, our latest project.
