Countdown to Nashville

Tomorrow is June 1st. (Wow, time so flies now!) In just little over a week we will be heading down to Nashville for our first Fan Fair (CMA Fest). We are so excited!

Meanwhile, Tom has been golfing like every day and doing really well! Some nice weather day I plan on joining him to practice my skills on the links! :-)

I'm still fascinated by Facebook and finding more and more people there all the time!

It's interesting to think that with Jeff in Doreen's neck of the woods (Pelhm, White Plains-ish) he will seem close, when all this time, she has seemed far. You know what I mean? Hmm.....

Happy Memorial Day!

Summertime and the living is easy........! Okay, well, it's not summertime yet but it's been feeling like it this weekend for sure. And all my still in school friends are counting down the days.

At least one of my few blog followers has made it known that I've been remiss in logging in here. Sorry! The thing is, I've gotten really into facebook and it is so much fun (but rather time consuming!)I am Roberta Sallee on it, if you want to join and "friend me".

Seriously, these glimpses into the lives of people I know from now and yesteryear are just fascinating! One friend has oldtime photos of the Willingboro of her childhood on it. Made me think of the Hummells for sure!

We've been home since Las Vegas the end of April and keeping busy here. Tom has been doing a lot of golfing and less bowling now that the winter league season is over. We still do dancing (I learned zydeco and went to a zydeco dance!) and I am catching up with the CONTACT work I missed from all the vacationing. (Small commericial here... the next training session for helpline volunteers is starting up in July)

Hope your Memorial Day week-end has been/is/continues to be great!

You talking to ME?

Kathy Schrock shared a website called vocaroo.com This sound bite is an experiment:


It did! That's pretty cool!
Okay, so what's been going on lately is not that much. Tom is getting better from his recent illness. I went to Sugarfootin' Sunday at Prospectors and had big big fun. I am trying to coordinate the Brunch group for dinner Sat. night. I thought taking them all with me to the DiPilla's Bridgeplayers presentation of "Much Ado About Nothing" in Burlington would be fun. Ann says yes, no word from others yet........
It's been pretty rainy, but Tom managed to get out and cut the lawn yesterday (it was a jungle out there!)
Tomorrow is Teacher Appreciation Day and I hope to get to Carlucci's to take photos of the BCEA crowd there.....

Keep safe and keep learning

Janet Napolitano is speaking on C-Span. Secretary of Education Duncan is on too. "School is not over yet. We are going to end strong!" His idea of having teachers getting long term lesson plans ready, in case schools are closed and students are forced to learn at home is an interesting one. (And if they are told to stay home from school, they should stay there and not like hang at the mall, Janet says).

So we are home now and will be for awhile. Las Vegas was big big fun.

Heading home

Tom and I are at McCarran Airport in Las Vegas awaiting the plane that will fly us home. A funny thing happened on the way to the gate. Just after we finished reassembling our material possessions and started walking to Gate C25, there was a call to halt and everyone ...baggage handlers, passengers and all...had to stop. It was surreal...like a scene from Sleeping Beauty at the part where they all fell asleep as is. We never found out what the problem was, but apparently, whatever it was it was solved, and we all moved on with our lives about five minutes later.

Ok they are boarding us now, but we are in Southwest part B so we can remain seated for awhile. With the new line up system, Tom and I had to sit separately on the way out because we were late in the numerical order. I hope we have better luck on the return trip. Other than that, Southwest was great and I recommend that airline to all!

Highlights later...gotta pack up.

A bit of irony

We are still having fun in Las Vegas...more about that later, but meanwhile, check out this bit of ironic photographic comparison.........

Make a Smilebox greeting

Viva Las Vegas!

We were so sad to leave Hawaii. It was a great vacation, we made a lot of new friends, had a wonderful time, and got to hang with old friends....Teri and Dan and Oregon Marc....always a pleasure.


After a brief stint at home ...that included some happy times at Prospectors ...including a propitious encounter with old time dance friends, Larry and Rose (who told us some good places to go in Las Vegas!), we boarded an early morning flight and here we are...

It is warm and sunny and we are looking forward to more good times.
And good luck and good bowling to Tom and his teammates in the tourney!
