Lots of fun!

It's Dina's birthday and I send her good wishes and hope this is her best year ever!

At Harvest Diner

Yesterday Tom was in a bowling tournament in New Brunswick, so GeeGee and I changed our lunch plans and watched Tom bowl instead. It was the first time they met and we all had fun. (Tom's best game was a 279! Awesome!)

 

 

It was Witches Ball night in Mt. Holly and Vickie was covering the Home Fine Arts Gallery, so I drove around for 20 minutes to find parking and then walked in to visit her

  before I headed out to Marissa's play with the Bridgeplayers.  
When I walked into the theater I was happily surprised to find Dan, the DIS computer teacher in the audience! Then, two seats down, I found Debbie Light! So I got to watch Marissa's great performance in the company of good friends. Interestingly enough, it turns out some of the cast, crew, and friends were dancing at Prospectors Wednesday with us! Small world!

Our current household crisis is with Comcast not coming out until Tuesday to fix the DVR's. Tom is inconsolable (and had to stay home to watch the games since he can't "tape" them).

My plan for the day includes Sugarfootin'  at Prospectors. I'm looking forward to NYC with Sue, Jeff, and the boys tomorrow and a week filled with tax classes, exercise, dancing, and fun! Oh, and the BCREA Fall lunch/meeting is this week, too! (and remind me to return some library books......)

Busy times

We joined another gym today...and tested it out after a night of dancing at Prospectors! It was fun and we look forward to being in good shape!

I've been taking a myriad of tax classes with H&R Block (love them! :-) and Tom has three bowling leagues going as well as some tournaments interspersed here and there....

I'm looking forward to lunch with Gee Gee Saturday, and hanging out with Sue and Jeff (and the boys) in New York City Monday.

I am using my in car travel time to good purpose as I listen to the audio tape of  The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.  It's an amazing story. I have a bunch of books I'm reading with my eyes, too!

Tom and I finished the last season of  Lost this week. I miss it.We did the whole six seasons worth of DVD's  in a row. It was great not having to wait a week after each cliff hanger ending like people who actually followed it while it was airing originally had to. It was confusing, but we loved it.

Busy day!

Call me a procrastinator...In 20 minutes I have to leave for my current HR Block class and a filled dance card, as it were..... That's the start of a 12 hour-filled day including volunteer work, book club, and an in-service, as well as the aforementioned class. Whew! I hope Tom remembers me by the time I get home tonight!

We had fun at Prospectors last night! I'm looking forward to Eron's Ren Fair, Delran Day, Sugarfootin' Sunday, more tax classes,  lunch with Gee Gee, Sue's visit in NYC, visiting DIS one of these days (photo ops!),  lunch with Suzanne sometime, and.....oops! Gotta run!

overdoing the opening?

I went to Sugarfootin' Sunday at Prospectors today. That made it five days of dancing in a row! I am glad my favorite dancing place is back and I think they did a good job, overall, with the renovations.

Today we also went to Cleopatra, the exhibit, currently at Franklin Institute, with The Brunch Group. Awesome! (And I bumped into Suzanne Brooks! :-)  What a great surprise! I haven't seen her in such a long time!

Soda? Pop? Where do you live?

I  remember when Tony moved to Indiana and had a heated discussion with people there regarding the soda vs pop term for carbonated beverages. Of course, there's no right or wrong answer (and according to this fascinating map compilation of date, we of the soda bent are in the minority...) but he really raised their hackles by querying at a bar, "Well do they call the drink "Scotch and pop"?
Here's the map! http://popvssoda.com:2998/countystats/total-county.html    Wow, eh? (and kudos to the folks who researched it!)

Patty and Kathryn

I believe we are heading to the beach soon...........Yesterday was really the first day of school (with kids) but I was tied up (Capital Assets class in Delran, stopped by DIS for a fast hello and a few 1st day pics,

Jason in my old classroom

Cindy, hard at work

stopped by BCEA to update the website more, ran to kickboxing class with Daryl....)   but we need to be back for tonight at Prospectors. They're letting us on the dance floor at last!!! (and Teri Nickerson just called and she'll be there, too! Whoo hoo!)

Just Scrabbling Around..........

I'm hoping to hook up with Margie today for some Scrabble fun.

Meeting up with Sue and Kym in NYC was big big fun! I hope the rest of Kym's USA adventure is going well!


Tom and I were headed to Brigantine to celebrate the first day of school this year, but en route we saw people having fun on the beach at Atsion Recreation, so we went there instead. Nice find!

Meeting online friends

I'm taking the train to NYC for lunch with Sue and our first time in America Australian friend from megalottso, Kym. How exciting!

I was very happy to see my Delran friends for the Ott's get-together and hope we can do it ....or something like it...again soon. (Number one reason some could not attend: babysitting grandchildren! Hmmm.....)

Tom and I ended up at Atsion for our first "First Day of School Trip to...." instead of Seaside, or our actual original destination, Brigantine. (Can you say cedar water?) It was a nice find; too bad they are closing for the season on the 6th.

Oh, guess what? We're going to the CMA Awards show in Nashville in November, courtesy of Greased Lightning. They called today to tell me we were picked! Whoo hoo!
