One down, one to go!

We took Tom's mom to the airport yesterday and picked up Marc (that's Oregon Marc) at the Hamilton train station today.....how fun! More guests than we've had in five years!

Tonight we are going to Prospectors, tomorrow the XTU concert on the grass, in the 96 degree heat (?!!) and possibly doing a quick tour of historic Philadelphia first. Sunday looks like brunch, maybe the Earth Fair, and a ride to either Hamilton or Newark Airport.

I have missed two NJEA Lobby Days, but hope to get to at least one of the next four scheduled (see the info on the BCEA website).

I worked the polls in Lumberton on primary election day Tuesday and saw two people I knew: Wendell and Cheryl Friedman. It was a long day, but we had more people than last year, and the people I worked with were all very nice!

Lauren Brown's blog continues to be fascinating, and I have now started a "Mrs. DiCerbo's Class" group on the Delran Schools Alumni Site. I am looking forward to massive participation!

June is Busting Out...............

We are home and it is amazingly colder than it was in AR yesterday....

The tenure of Tom's mother's stay here is tenuous....she may be flying out on Tuesday or Thursday, although the possibility of driving her back to VA when Amy returns is still in the mix, in my opinion....

Tom and I are going to work on making our house more guest friendly...and we definitely need to have it done by Friday for Oregon Marc's visit!

I hope it is gorgeous weather for the XTU Concert Saturday!

I spent some time on the return drive perusing the Delran Alumni website and checking out former students. It will be fun to see if any of them write back!

The Prospectors website seems to have disappeared so I'll have to call to see if tomorrow is a Sugarfootin' kinda Sunday.

Hot Springs...hot!

Oops! I see I am a little behind here....We have been in our Hot Springs resort place since Friday at check in. It is really nice here...lots to do from pool to tennis, miniature golf to ping pong, jacuzzi and sauna to shuffleboard ( I am at the lobby, picking up the sticks and round things now...)

We were on our own for a few days, but went over to Crystal's dad's for a Memorial Day eating time (his house is big and awesome!) and to pick up the boys.
We have been having fun with them. Linda came over today and hopefully we'll see Crystal and Ethan later.

Leaving Knoxville

Our Thursday consisted of a lot of driving for Tom.

We left at about 9:30 a.m. and got to Amy's outside of D.C. in Virginia at about 1 or so. We hung out there with Sarah and Mom for about an hour and then drove and drove and drove (Tom, not I).

We checked out our Trip Rewards deal and ended up getting a room in Knoxville with it (a great room with a jacuzzi and everything!). Though we didn't get there until 11 p.m. it was much better than sleeping on the side of the road!

We met a nice couple from Chicago on their way to Myrtle Beach at breakfast (6 a.m.) and are now on the road again.

Lauren's Blog

Former student and world traveller, Lauren Brown is currently in the Vietnam, Bangkok area of the world. She is beautiful, adventurous and a great writer. You, too, can share her views on the experience at: http://yutzyjbear.livejournal.com/

Meanwhile, the continuing travels of Roberta and Tom will be taking us on the road to Hot Springs, Arkansas Thursday. (A lot of driving for poor Tom, but he's the one who thought of it!) We almost booked a Carnival cruise to eastern Carib. for June 14, but the contact person showed me some better idea possibilities....we'll see what happens with that.

I had a double Retro Fitness experience today with Tom in the morning and Kick boxing tonight while Tom was busy winning first place with his Monday night bowling league. (Way to go, Tom! His 286 and 257 games may have helped a bit, eh?)

Lots of News

Working backwards once again....it seems Amy needs us to watch her mom while they go to Disney World...and we will, but too bad we didn't know sooner than today because Tom booked a week in Hot Springs May 23-30 just this morning at 2 a.m. and the Goff's are leaving on the 28th.. Hmm...well it will work out. Everything does.

So we have been busy since we've been back from Myrtle Beach. We saw Jim and Ganine last night at Prospectors and we danced on Wednesday too. It was good to be back!

We worked out at the gym twice and did some cardio there today too. I can't believe I totally forgot about my kickbox class last Monday, but I will remember this week!

Millie is getting married! But we will be finishing up with the JITH in Ohio then. I hope we can catch them soon thereafter.

I caught the end of the BCREA workshop on Identity Theft and Consumer Protection, took some photos and worked on the website photos from the Teacher Appreciation social.

Sue sent photos from the Patrick/Zoe birthday times and Jenn sent a video of Jassy dancing.

I'd like to put in a small commercial here about Tom, my husband. I must have been really really good in my last life to deserve a sweetheart like him. 'nuff said.

Happy Birthday, Joanne!

I hope N. Carolina is sunnier for Joanne's birthday than it is here in 56 degree wet and miserable NJ. (but warmer sunny days are coming! weather.com promised!)

I got this video from a not-to-be mentioned on the internet named friend...hooray for youtube!

(Love those people!)

We finally got to dance again at Prospectors Saturday night and it was big big fun. Tom has been golfing and will be finishing up bowling this month. June events are shaping up with Margie's party, Robert's graduation party, the WXTU concert. We still have the 11th to 20th free...maybe we can slip in that elusive cruise we've been trying to book....

Malia has a new business starting....Margie has her ytb business in full swing.....I think it's time to start gearing up our Market America endeavors. Anyone out there looking for a "plan B" in these troubled economic times?
