Summer is always so short!

 Still hoping to get to Seaside Heights (aka "down the shore") before summer's end.

Since my last post I went to a SHIP meeting in S. Jersey, heard about, but wasn't there to celebrate, Jodie's 101st birthday, have been duly sticker shocked at food prices, had lunch with Ann and Gina with Dina, attended Randi's annual pig roast, and spent the last week in NYC.

At Carmines for murder mystery dinner with Louise
I was a suspect- 8 year old Polly Graph


Happy to see Millie and Harry who came
into the city to take me to lunch

Murder mystery site in passing

Set for "Two Strangers..." Also saw "Singfeld", "The Lost Boys"
and "Maybe Happy Ending"

Three days of seminars at the IRS National Forum

Surprise! Bumped into my Membership Chair, Fran,


Great music, fun, and food at the Pig Roast

Happy to see Gina and Ann on her birthday

So glad to see Dina too

My kind of food...but $70 ?!!

Where did July go?

 And now it is August. Between high heat and pouring rain it has been quite a summer.

I saw The Odyssey and Spider Man. August looks to be full of lunches and meetings and a week in NYC. I am either busy or playing layabout at the empty house....which needs mucho work I don't seem to have the energy to get to....yet.
