Jeff!

Jeff, Jackson, and Nathan are driving to Seaside for the day tomorrow and then coming to our house. How exciting and how wonderful to have them living in America now. The plan is for us to go with them back to Seaside on Wednesday. (This will be good practice for next Tuesday's Annual First Day of School Trip to Seaside!)

I have to get up early to go to Part Two of the Tax Issues class in Lawrenceville.

It's September and I guess my body must have known the season because my summer tan is starting to "fall" off. (Get it?)

I saw a lot of teachers commenting on Facebook about how sad they are that school is starting tomorrow and why do they have to go back so early.....I feel for them..........really...........

I'm thinking the boardwalk and all the stands are still open. I hope so, because the Londoners are really looking forward to it....

Lunch at Otts

I invited everyone on my DIS private staff website to lunch at Ott's today, then mentioned it on Facebook, then wrote some individual letters to people from the Middle School and High School, and asked Sue Perotta to post a notice at DIS for people to see.

I was glad to hear back from people, even though most of them aren't available....keeping in touch is the main thing! I only know of four for sure(!) but we'll see who turns up!

Meanwhile the first day of school trip to Seaside is on the horizon....maybe we'll go next week too...the weather looks good.

My advanced H & R Block classes are starting up. I am so excited to be back in a learning environment!

We've seen some new movies. I like District 9, and was surprised I did! I am glad I got to see how the movie business handed Time Travelers Wife (but, as expected, the book was way better!)

Kim Hummell and Kris were at Prospectors Friday while we were there! How fun to see them!

I'm thinking of the Kayes in Pelham and hoping all is going well with the settling in and that we get to see them soon!

Big Comcast is Watching You!

Wow! I had the second blog comment in my history of blogging here and it was a very nice note from Melissa of Comcast, concerned about my connectivity troubles with the internet. (See comment on previous entry).

I was actually going to report our success in getting back on line here anyway. Tom went in person to the Comcast office and got the modem traded in for a new one, and then came home and hooked it up and ..voila!...back in business. Yay.
Meanwhile, how did Melissa find my note? Isn't that amazing?

I am heading out to a meeting. Looking forward to Prospectors and dancing tonight!

Super slow Comcast-The Online Nightmare

Recent news: Myrtle Beach was awesome, I got lost two times one day en route and home from a meeting in Lawrenceville (thank goodness I live in a small state!), I'm trying to get my DIS school friends to lunch next Monday for a preschool starting get together, Doreen is home after successful surgery, Jeff's boys are back home (in NY!)from a week in CA having fun with Jenn and Jass and Sue and all, I'm working on the BCEA website, getting it ready for fall, my H&R Block classes start up tomorrow, we're still looking to get to the beach a couple of times before summer's end, and I'm still loving Facebook, but the big story on action news is....our internet suddenly got really slow to no trans and I called Comcast and they will send someone on ........WEDNESDAY! (sometime between 1 and 5). Don't they know we live on the computer and this is torture?!!! :-(

Myrtle Beach Fun Time

We have been in Myrtle Beach since Saturday at 5:30 a.m. and have enjoyed good weather, sun on the beach, lazy river and pool fun, and water aerobics every morning!
Tom just set up some golf tee times ( I am really good now that I had some practice with Tom, Bill, and Frank back in NJ...haha!) and George and Doreen are coming Friday. Whoo hoo! We had so much fun with them at Jamboree in the Hills and now we get to see them more! Yay!

Jeff and the rest of the London Kayes are in NYC now and we can't wait to see them when we get home.

Jamboree in the Hills 11

I am on my way to the pool party here at our hotel, but meanwhile, things are going well here at JITH 2009. Here are the photos from Day 1:

Party in the Park

Kim had a party for McKenzie's ninth birthday. It was big big fun and a good time was had by all!
See the pictures!



On another front, Jessica is in NY for the week and we are hoping we'll have a chance to hook up with her before she has to go home.

We're getting excited about the annual Jamboree in the Hills. George, Doreen, and four days of country music! Whoo hoo!
