Fifty more miles and we'll be at our destination-- Nashville, TN.
Poor Tom has been driving since 10 a.m. this morning (and it is going on midnight now!)
I had a great time at the Lisa Scottoline talk at the library yesterday, and brunch with the crowd, and the good-bye party for Louise, and then some Sugarfootin' at Prospectors. Then I started packing for this trip.
I didn't get much sleep this last week. Just stayed up really late nightly.....
I had fun working with the bachelorette party at Prospectors last Saturday and taking photos at the Camden County Retirement Dinner.
Did I mention the Friday SHIP day? I had four appointments and a call in and an attempted walk in. (I called the other two the next day.) The Update we had was good too.
How about the IRS? They are sinking deeper and deeper. And health care isn't sounding so affordable these days as we get closer and closer to implementation.. And Frank Lautenberg died :-(
We saw the new Star Trek which was a good one!
Kim got married and Margie is off crusing...Hi, Margie.
Enjoying retirement.....yes!

A visit from Zoe
Tom and I were delighted to be able to spend a few hours with our lovely niece, Zoe May, lately of New York City.
She came down on the train and promised to come back again someday...hopefully at a time when Alex and the boys can be with us, too! :-)

May Day, May Day
I see some friends are in Myrtle Beach right now, and others, currently in Branson, MO, will be back in Myrtle Beach soon. Unlike other years, we have no firm plans for summering on those warm sandy beaches, but chances are we'll get there, I'm thinking....
The BCEA Legislative Dinner was a very lovely affair. I was surprised no Delran folks were in attendance, but it was fun seeing all my other Association colleagues of yesteryear.
Tom got a clean bill of health from the doctor Monday, so that's the good news of the week. :-)
I am not getting enough sleep, so off to bed I go. Tomorrow is a CONTACT in-service.
As they say in wino, "Asti spumanti!"

Getting my car started
Somehow, charging $850 to get my car to start seems excessive. (Parts are $400....?) Nonetheless, that's basically what's in store for me at Lucas Chevrolet later today when I pick up my 2002 Chevy Malibu (that Triple A towed there from my house yesterday). I am so sad.
Meanwhile, on a happier, "This is what America is all about", note, it seems this inspirational pair will be running again in 2014 to honor their fallen comrades at the Boston Marathon.(They were a mile from the finish line when the bomb hit). http://www.teamhoyt.com/about/index.html
*****************************************
Yesterday was another DEAR lunch. We had fifteen people and are looking forward to next month's get together on the 22nd.
Earth Day was not as publicly touted this year as I've seen it in years past. Maybe my distance from the school environs has lessened the impact, but if so, that's a sad commentary on the world after 40+years of hearing about it.
It's nice to have free time now that tax season is over. :-) (I'm watching the Homeland series. Wow.)

April now
It's five days since Tom's surgery and he is finally feeling better. In fact, we just got back from the movies. We saw Jurassic Park in 3-D. It was really good. The dinosaurs weren't as scary as i thought they'd be, but the general 3-d-hood was better than most I've encountered to date.
I see I haven't written anything in a MONTH! I guess I was busy.
Tax season is over, I've done some things with CONTACT and SHIP and danced, and Tom had a gazillion doctor's appointments and that surgery....He finally did something about his sleep apnea and is resting much better and so am I (no snoring!)
What else? Hmm....We won tickets to a Montgomery Gentry private-ish concert and that was fun.
Sue and Patrick were in NYC for a whirlwind trip, but we didn't get to see them
:-(
I opened a bill on the way to the movies tonight and almost had a heart attack, but then realized it was my neighbor's. He wasn't home, so we left him a message. I feel terrible (and isn't it illegal?) but it was an accident. Who thought a bill from Bank of America in my mailbox wouldn't be mine?
I wish summer weather would come back; I was freezing today!

Tripping
We're on Rt. 70 in Indiana, heading to Fayetteville, via Branson.
Our trip has been a bit slower than anticipated but not bad. We didn't leave til after noon on Wednesday (my birthday!) and ended up staying in Cambridge, Ohio. We enjoyed a delicious birthday dinner around 9 p.m. and a restful evening.
Tom's having better sleep now that he has "the mask", so he enjoyed the rest until 9 this morning and then we were on the road again. (and I even drove some!) and we are still driving.
In recent news, we've been dancing, Tom has had a gazillion tests on a variety of things. I am disappointed that after the second quarterly cystoscopy, the doctor said he sees suspicious stuff again that worries him again, so Tom needs to have another trans-urethral resection of a bladder tumor surgery. We scheduled it from the road for April 15th. He has a BCG treatment already scheduled for March 19th at 8:45 a.m. I am wondering if we will be back in time for that....
Ken and Tony invited us to dance for the seniors at Lions Gate last Sunday night. It was so much fun! The residents were great! :-)

March on!
Well, February went by really really fast and now it's March and almost my birthday and Isaac's wedding. (and Gina's birthday, Mark's birthday, and GeeGee's birthday, among others....)
I'm still working hard at H&R Block and it's still cold and Tom is still cute as a button and the best husband ever.
I learned a lot about the history of tea and had a virtual tour of Rockland Mansion with my DKG sisters on Saturday, but I missed the St. Patrick's Day parade in Mt. Holly.
We had the biggest DEAR group yet at Casamari on the 21st. I forgot to take pictures except as we left. The next one is on the first day of Spring!
I am looking forward to getting back in touch with family after tax season winds down.
I hope Tom's upcoming medical tests are helpful in combating any ills....
I hope weather is warm and sunny by the time we are on the road to AR!
