Oh, and here, too, is another bit from the CMA Fest. It's a video of me saying the Contact folks are my idea of humble and kind and Tim McGraw talks first.

Father's Day

I tried to collect as many photos of notable fathers in my current life I could find in a quick pass through oh so many photos I have on my computer.
Happy Father's Day to them, and to all the deserving fathers out there!

Another milestone

Yesterday (June 17th) was the fiftieth anniversary of my mother's death. So sad.

Today was the last day of the 2015-2016 school year. They had the retirement luncheon on Wednesday, the 15th. It's the first one I've missed, but Tom's surgery was scheduled and he needed me around for 24 hours. No one took pictures. :-(

We had a lot of fun at the CMA Music Fest in Nashville this year, even though poor Tom's aching knee curtailed some of our usual activities about town (his more than mine).

Post reunion feedback is all positive

It's a week later and we are still getting e-mail from thankful reunion attendees gushing with compliments about the fun they had. I am so happy everything worked out: it was so great seeing everyone! Friday night, the Saturday high school tour, and Saturday night....everything was perfect...and gave us time to mingle and get reacquainted.

Back in NJ

....and it is so cold! :-(

The journey home was lengthy and trafficky...but we finally made it.
The good part was stopping in NC to have lunch with Joanne Karwacki and John.  We ate at Falcones. Yum yum! :-)

(I'd rather have the picture, but I am still dealing with accessing googlephotos and googleplus!)

Heavy traffic for Mother's Day.....

We are in wall to wall traffic on 95. Where did all these people come from? Well, at least it's not raining, right?

We had a fun week in Myrtle Beach. It wasn't always the best of weather, but it was definitely warmer than back home. We did beach and pool and lazy river and 3 movies, saw Jo-Anne and Doug. I did the water exercise every morning. It was a good post tax season vacation.

Next up is a busy week leading up to my high school reunion. Whoo hoo!

I have pix up on the blog and assorted share sites but here are some, too.

Myrtle Beach or Bust

What terrible weather to be driving in! Poor Tom is doing a great job in this pouring rain, but it is pretty scary. Luckily we finished packing up the car before the downpour started.

I packed early because of being on the bus trip all day yesterday. First time ever!

The trip was fun. The show- Finding Neverland- was great. The restaurant where we ate -Scarlottos was a hit with my little crowd. A good time was had by all. Dolly made a great Tom fill-in.

When we get back next week there's a few events and activities before we head up North for the Piscataway Fiftyish Reunion . Should be fun!
