It's May!

Some videos on Facebook with me on the periphery are now online. Some are from Prospectors Thursday night (went after the BCEA Teacher Appreciation social which was quite nice, although I was disappointed that absolutely no one else from Delran or BCREA was in attendance...(?!)

This one is from Leg Day, Thursday, May 9th, at The Max Challenge (maybe you can't see it without Facebook and being a member of our private page). Here's a still shot from it (That's back of me top right wearing my Delran H.S. musical t-shirt. The front says Feed Me! from Little Shop of Horrors).

7 a.m. class

Love my Mt. Holly  Max Challenge! (miss my Maple Shade friends).

Meanwhile, mid decision of who to get for our new roof  replacement had a commercial break as Tom and I spent all afternoon working on the design and implementation of getting a tarp up to cover our shingle-challenged shed until it can be roof restored as well. It was not easy!

I wonder if the Mays are back from Norway yet. I can't wait to see more photos.

The Senior Expo was fun and I won a gift certificate to the 130 Diner.

I visited Margie and had fun playing Scrabble. I hope she is feeling better soon!

Tom has been dealing with a lot of health issues and doctor appointments. I hope he gets relief soon. Meanwhile, I am fine, so far....knock on wood.

April 17th

Happy birthday, Tom!
Tom's birthday is tomorrow.
Today he had surgery. I guess (hope!) the present is things are looking pretty clear with the bladder and surrounding areas...better than the doctor had been thinking. Of course, the pathology report is yet to come, but I have high hopes of good news there as well. Now we just have to concentrate on back and hips and get them better too.

Tax season is over and I am HR Blockless for awhile now.

It looks like my calendar is full for the next week or so with lunches and Contact and SHIP update. I want to call my ailing and grieving friends and visit them.

Exercising at The Max Challenge is still my very best habit (although I didn't get to attend today, due to Tom's surgery and post operative watch out. (Oh and we have to go see Dwosh twice tomorrow too....maybe we can have cake and ice cream in between....?)

Did I mention I spoke to our newly found cousin Greg? Turns out Howie had a baby that was put up for adoption. He currently lives in Wayne, NJ and is eager to learn more about his birth family relatives. (He just found out to....through DNA sharing with Nathan!)

Aetna people called for an in home consultation, so I set one for the 29th. Hmmm.....

Do you know how old I am???

Wow, I can't believe how neglectful I've been of this blog! It's the middle of March and I can't even remember all the things that have happened since last I posted.

Well, the wedding was great and it was wonderful to see everyone.

The NYC and VA trips took up the first week that the IRS starting accepting tax returns, so I missed the start of the big time action during peak, and I was working like every day after that until recently.

There were other activities here and there (and of course movies and dancing!)

Helping at the library book sale

Rec Committee Youth Painting Workshop

Lunch with DEAR friends 

Birthday flowers from Jennifer

Finding old friends at Gee Gee lunch at Metro North

I went to Tom's bowling one night, too. That was fun. He is hurting now, though, so he didn't go this week. His hip is the newest addition to the pain company. Poor Tom!

We are already looking forward to this year's CMA Fest, now that we have secured a place to stay while we're there. I will look for a good deal on a flight out, but probably we will be driving.

No Jamboree in the Hills! :-(

Here's a link to a video in which I am not featured, but show up on the right hand side, dancing the 38 step: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu2TDUrDJ6J8H8_pjwrSaGdIRztPjcd4Blv8uE0/ (on Susan Sutphen Instagram if you can get to it...)

This is a captured still from the end:

New York, New York

Well, I have certainly been neglectful of this blog!
It is now 2019 and movie pass is gone, AMC is in. HR Block is back in action, although I am missing this first peak week with first our New York City trip we just got home from and the Jonathon Goff wedding we are heading to Virginia for tomorrow.
Other things happened in December, for sure, but tomorrow is February 1 and time marches on.
Here are some NYC pics:

As much fun as we could have in Arctic temperatures!

Still in NJ

We didn't go to FL yesterday after all. With Tom in mid BCG treatments and so uncomfortable it seemed a better choice to hang out here.

So. I had an adventure the other day. After a panicky realization that my credit card was missing, and a frenzied search of everywhere it could possibly be, I headed back to Charlie Browns in E. Windsor where I'd left it after lunching with Gee Gee two days ago.

That was the easy part.

Three hours after picking it up I got home. That wasn't the adventure. The adventure was getting from E. Windsor to the Mt. Laurel Coldstone Creamery to pick up 2 for one ice cream at Tom's request. I won't go into the frustrating detail. Suffice to say it was rush hour and Christmas shopping time (see 295, 38, two missed turns, Eastgate and Moorestown  Malls).

There is some confusion between my two Max locations, but I am back to full exercise mode and very happy to be there!

Movie Pass is turning out to be very difficult to get out of :-(  . I wouldn't care except there are never movies available on it for us. (Meanwhile, we joined the AMC one and it is fine.)

Post Florida Part 1

It is now post Thanksgiving (thanks to Tom for all the good food!) and I am practically recovered from my suddenly painful leg issue while we were in FL.

The leg thing was from Day 1 and put a damper on any dancing plans, but we had sun and fun and couple of movies. Good times.

Just think....in two weeks we will be flying down to warmth again. (That surprising snowstorm NJ had? We were happy to miss it!)

NJREA Convention 2018

I worked at the polls on Election Day from 5:15 a.m. until about 8:45 p.m. (with a one hour lunch to eat and pack for Convention).
Tom drove us to Atlantic City and we checked in at about 11 p.m.

Here are my photos from the convention: https://photos.app.goo.gl/mwz19a3gkgV3rMeE8

It was great to see everyone and I gleaned some more info re the health provider change.

We rushed home to a doctor appointment for Tom so I didn't get to the NJEA Convention venue at all this time.

Tomorrow at dawn we fly to FL!

Stacy and me!
