Computer time!

 At Jerome's buying a new computer...well, 2  computers (a new laptop for Tom) and a new top for my maligned laptop.

Wish me luck with windows 11!

Oh, Chanukah!

So, I can't believe I haven't put anything on here for a month! :-(  What have I been up to? Our mailbox fell down and is still grounded. No one has come to help us after our failed attempt at digging through embedded wood in the old hole. Also frustrating is the fact that Dr. Berkman has never called us back regarding the scary biopsy report language Tom read following his surgery.

There have been a lot of holiday gatherings. Yesterday the Eastampton book club met at Pandora Diner. I gave them cards, a random recycled book in a shopping bag, and some sugared nuts. (They loved the bags! LOL) But I never took a picture! :-( 

Others included eating with DEAR friends, Friends of the Library, BCEA, BCREA, Sigma and I'm heading up to Cranbury to see Gee Gee today. :-)  (That's a lot of eating, and sadly no exercise to speak of with Tom being too post surgery recovering to dance). There was the library book sale, Bruce's concert, the woman singers, and Charlie Zaun.

Actually, I have to send some Christmas cards today or forever hold my peace.

November travels

 I worked at the polls on Election Day and then Tom and I drove to Atlantic City for the NJREA Convention.

We had dinner at Margaritaville.

On Wednesday the 16th, Dolly and I took the train to NY to see Funny Girl (with Lea Michele of Glee fame). It was great!

On Saturday, Irene and I went on the BCEA bus trip to NYC to see the Rockettes Christmas show. Afterward we walked to Bryant Park and then the Library.

We are currently somewhat quarantining in preparation for Tom's surgery on the 23rd.

Thinking about Pat Hummell

 Collecting photos from over the years and remembering the good times...

Nostalgia Time

 September 12, 2022

I visited Millbridge with Kathryn, Janet, and Jackie. It's been a long time! (My first year of teaching was at that school....51 years ago!)

We took the long! walk around the whole building, which included a number of add-ons. It was good to see them and catch up.

We ran into former fifth grader, now teacher, Kathy McHugh

    The day before, we were at Prospectors on a nostalgic night. Joe White was there teaching and dancing and mingling. I was blown away by the fact that so few people we've known and danced with for years are actually unfamiliar with The American Cowboy Company (30 years ago?).  We had fun, nonetheless.

Fun in New York City

We did it! NYC State of Mind photos

 

Aug.28-31  We took the train in, stayed at the Manhattan Club, saw two shows (Aladdin and Harry Potter), hooked up with Millie and Harry for lunch and Cody, Zoe, and Sarrah for dinner, and toured the Natural History Museum (and got there and back via subway!) 

I am ready to go back for another show ASAP!

August now...2022

Still no Covid for me and fingers crossed to stay that way.

I hope Tom feels well enough to get a trip to NYC together for us sometime this month. Driving to FL is too far; I'm not comfortable with driving to Myrtle Beach either....although it would be great to see Joanne.

Hot hot hot and our air conditioning is running to be 71 degrees at all times....

Caitlin's baby Mason (born July 2) is adorable and much adored by all.

Sue and Patrick bring them food so they can peek in on him.

Jennifer got to meet him too.

We have seen all the movies and I am reading a lot, too. 

I finished the CE requirements for HRB for the next season and Lisa had a little party for us with award incentives. (Kalpna did 600 returns! OMG!)

We dance: 

I can't believe summer is going to be over in like ten seconds (well, that's what it feels like....time goes so fast now!)
