Aiding and Abetting

This has nothing to do with gambling, but I bet Sue and her family are going to have a great time in Australia!
It's going to be a little hard to keep track of where they are when, what with the 14 hour ahead time difference and all. If they had a six hour wait in the airport before their 15 hour flight....are they there yet?
                                       Is it Saturday like here or Sunday with the shift? Hmm....too early to think about it.

Anyway, I hope they had/are having a good flight and that Sue gets to see the photo I posted for her....and write something about it! soon.

Meanwhile, we had fun at Prospectors last night and are looking forward to the Blues and BBQ in Mt. Holly today.

Planning ahead

Tom and I aren't that used to planning things...we are more quite the last minute adventurers, but as of today we have some upcoming vacations planned for the time ahead........Jersey shore, west coast Florida, and oceanfront Myrtle Beach. (Hmm....I see a pattern here....)We also got our tickets for next year's CMA Fest in Nashville (landlocked! Well, except for the river.....)

Talking about traveling.....the Mays are heading to Australia in a couple of days and I am so excited for them! We can all follow along because Sue will be blogging on her new site, currently in the emerging stage.

We have been to the movies.....Harry, of course, and, more recently Captain America (not bad) and Transformers 3 (not the best of the lot,but it was air conditioned in the critical time when we lost our electricity in a storm). We have Blockbuster cd's pouring in and Netflix, too. 

It's hard to believe July is almost over. Time just flies and flies now....kinda scary.....

Hi, Sue!

My sister is going to Australia and I hope she creates a blog so I can follow along on her trip! (Hi, Sue!)

I am running out the door, but we survived the Jamboree and it was great! Film at 11.

Jamboree in the HIlls!

We had a successful adventure at the airport and Tom's mom arrived safely in Texas. Now we have a whole day to get ready for our annual honeymoon country-music-on-the-mountain style in Ohio! (and the last Harry Potter movie will be out on Friday!)

July!

I'm heading up to New Brunswick today to meet Gee Gee for lunch. Tom's mom will be heading out to Texas Monday night and we'll be gearing up for the Jamboree in the Hills (sadly, without Dor and George this year).

Jennifer isn't coming to NJ after all, but Sue might. Tom doesn't have gout, so what is causing his distress? I signed up for a gazillion tax classes for the fall (love those classes!) and I am looking forward to talking to our NEA delegates about what went on in Chicago. The Mays are going to Australia! (Wow! How fun!) Hopefully we'll be able to share some Seaside fun with the NY Kayes (when they get back to America, that is!) :-)

I'm thinking healing thoughts for my sister out-law, Ann, and birthday greetings to the July babies...Jeff, Jackson, and Harlan.

Woe is NJ. :-(

80 is a good age

Today we went to Pat Hummell's 80th birthday party. It was a surprise for her from her children. She looks great and a good time was had by all! https://picasaweb.google.com/rosallee/Pats80thBirthdayParty#

In a fit of catch up time, we attended and enjoyed the XTU concert on June 4th , and then drove down to Nashville for our third annual CMA Music Fest. It was REALLY HOT! but we had a great time. As many or more stars playing than ever. Highlights for me other than wonderful performances included meeting Kerry Edees, lunching with Sage Keffer, bumping into fellow Prospectors dancers, dancing at the Wildhorse, and hooking up with Kim Carnevale (formerly of NJ, now living in TN).

On the way home from Nashville we stopped at Amy' s and picked up Tom's mom (who is 82, speaking of octogenarians...) The Goffs are moving to Ft. Hood and needed some alone time.

I've been rallying in Trenton and will continue to do so. Legislation looms which would be incredibly detrimental to public sector pension and benefits here in NJ.

Early Monday morning is Delran's Retirement Brunch and I am going to be in attendance. (and then head on up to Trenton .....)

Hard to believe another school year is over (5th without me....no problem!!! (except I don't know anybody anymore  :-(   ). I'll bet everyone was ready for a vacation!

June is bustin' out........!

Yesterday I attended the Eastampton walking club. Then I zoomed down to Medford for an XTU X-stop for a pair of tickets to the concert (who knew there was an Ott's that wasn't in Delran???) and bumped into an old friend from dancing named Bernie and her husband Skip (they both won tickets after I sat with them, too!)
After that I met up with Tom at our gym. (I started reading The Notebook there. Raise your hand if you LOVED that movie!!!)

Today's agenda includes a bunch of errands before I head out to the Community Resource Fair. I hope it is as interesting and informative as the Virtua lecture on herbal supplements was last week. 

Raphael's dad picking up info!

Me with Mary and Deb from Riverview Estates

The Senior Expo on the 25th was packed and I met some new friends there.
