Tradition

It's Christmas today.

We met for the annual fifth grade teachers Christmas Eve morning breakfast yesterday at Diamond Diner. It was good to see everyone. (missing Janet and Frank in FL).

  We've apparently been meeting like this since (at least) 2011!

Home from Florida

 Our second week of vacation in cold,wet Florida (not as cold as NJ of course, but no pool for us...nor Disney). The good part was visiting with wonderful old friends.

Love, us!

The best part of coming home was picking up our luggage quickly and walking outside to find the shuttle we needed to get to our parked car right there! (Oh, and the wonderful wheelchair/luggage/getting us through TSA people both going and coming!) (And did I mention we signed up for a bigger timeshare package with Vacation Village....and then cancelled it. Whew!)

Florida!

We're ending our first week. The Fountains is quite the resort!

 

  Okay, so it was "cold" and windy for the first few days but then it got better. I easily went right into the pool at 9 a.m. on Thursday for Water Zumba with Robyn and more fun poolside with Tom later that day. We danced at Cowboys on Ladies Night, played games like Bingo and Name That Tune at the pool, grabbed a chocolate fondue cup, and even had a caricature done to remember our good time. 

It's beginning to look a lot like....

 The Xfinity repairman just left. Apparently all the digging of PSE&G the other day cut some wire that was hooked up to Tom's two off the main tv's. It's all good now. Tom is back in business!

Here's what the moving of the gas meter from under the deck-where they put it in an earlier move that cost me half the brick pillar many years ago!- to the side of the house looked like.

It was good to see Russ during one of our dance sessions at Prospectors.

Yummy Thanksgiving dinner a la Tom

We have to get packing for the FL trip. We are finally set as far as parking the car and renting a car.

I need to remember to bring the sun pass, the Disney World ticket, all the flight and resort information, call Linda, Wilma, Jeanne, John and Helen, Sandy and Steve, Ed and Diane to see about getting together. Tom is looking foward to the Lobster place. Also on deck...watching for the insurance bill(s) and LTHC for Dec. too. Oh and to order the RMD from the IRA in a timely fashion. 

I hope we have good weather!

Okay, time to stop the mail.....
